Glam, sleaze and hair bands still popular with our readers

Throughout November and December, Limelight Magazine featured two glam metal/sleaze/hair bands per day that we had on cassette in alphabetical order by band name on our Facebook friend page. We avoided some of the bigger name bands that we had on CD, such as Cinderella, Dokken, Great White, Kix, Motley Crue, Ratt, Stryper, etc., but included them if we had their music on cassette. In our 10 years as a publication, this series received more responses than anything we’ve ever done on social media. As a result, we have selected a few of these artists to interview for feature stories in 2017.

Below is a list of the artists and cassettes we featured. (We tried to include their videos but the page would take too long to load).
