Glam metal is a subgenre of heavy metal that features pop-influenced hooks and guitar riffs, upbeat rock anthems, and slow power ballads. It borrows heavily from the fashion and image of 1970s glam rock.
Quiet Riot was one of the early glam metal bands to achieve mainstream success.
Four Def Leppard songs were on the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100.
