Poison

Poison, the glam metal icons, burst onto the 1980s rock scene with their vibrant style and infectious anthems. Formed in 1983, the original lineup comprised Bret Michaels, C.C. DeVille, Rikki Rockett, and Bobby Dall. Known for their flamboyant image and party-ready attitude, Poison's debut album, "Look What the Cat Dragged In" (1986), catapulted them to fame with hits like "Talk Dirty to Me" and "I Want Action." The band's commercial success continued with albums like "Open Up and Say... Ahh!" (1988), featuring the power ballad "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." Poison's blend of glam, rock, and pop sensibilities made them a quintessential part of the hair metal era, leaving an enduring legacy as one of the genre's most colorful and memorable acts.
