Poison August 11, 2007

During the mid-80's, a decade fueled by party anthems and power ballads, Poison found a high amount of popularity, with only Bon Jovi and Def Leppard outselling them. While the group had a long string of hits, they soon became just as renowned for their stage show, and continued to be a major attraction over the course of their first three albums. Although their success was rather short-lived, one cannot deny the major effect that Poison had on the music industry during their initial career. After their first successful reunion tour in 1999, Poison continues to rock with frontman Bret Michaels, Bobby Dall, C.C. DeVille and Rikki Rocket. Their latest release is 'Poison'd.' Best known for the hit, 'Round and Round,' Ratt's brash, melodic heavy metal made the Los Angeles quintet one of the most popular rock acts of the mid-'80s.
