[jonasaberg]

Pour some sugar on me is actually one song I'm working on. Great song and the solo isn't that difficult. "Seventeen" by Winger is one I'd like to play but the solo is a real mofo so that'll take some time to learn. Smooth up in Ya is great too. I love songs that are overtly sexual like that :P
Not all of the bands mentioned here are that well known here in Finland. That doesn't mean I won't include them in the setlist though. I want to play a few of those as well so the hardcore "hair farmers" can get a kick out of it.

Billy Idol - Rebel Yell
Tyketto - Forever Young

they were around in the 80s but none of them are associated really with the glam metal movement that rose up in LA (van halen predate it tho they helped to catalyse it)...noooo not hair metal

try:

Britny Fox - in motion, girlschool, long way home, hair of the dog, six guns loaded, closer to your love, shot from my gun
