I'd go with the large pool of bands and pick a band like Trixter for 80s hair metal - recognizable name, pretty forgettable, no major hits, never rose above mediocre. For the rest of 80s metal, I'd go with a band like Armored Saint - on the cusp of joining the big names but never really rose to the occasion.

Yeah, Poison feels like they're welllll past the midpoint for their era.
