Actually, what are we discussing here? 90% of 80s hard rock songs sound totally lame!
Europe and Asia are not “Hard Rock bands like Motley Crue or Van Halen” either. Not that that matters since I think what DtC said is correct in regards to what the OP is looking for:
“My impression is that you’re talking about songs that are trying to rock and fail miserably, rather than softer fare or ballads done by hard rock bands.”
“When It’s Love” and “Heat of the Moment” don’t seem like songs that the band intended to be “hard rockin”.
Dude, that was horrible.
