Classic '80's rock like Freeze Frame, need CD Recommendations

[wwswimming]

i have techno & classical but no Rock except ZZ Top &
one Stones live album.

if you were to list the top 10 or 20 rock albums, for
example, Blondie, Call Me, who would you put on
the list ?

I think I'd classify Freeze Frame more as pop than rock.

I'm not going to classify any of these as having a "top 10" album, but perhaps something by:

Motley Crue
Skid Row
Def Leppard
Poison
Bon Jovi
Warrant
Whitesnake
Twisted Sister
Guns N Roses

I'm not really fond of any of those bands, but they seem to be about the right era you're looking at.

edit: Aerosmith had a pretty good album in the late 80's,
Somehow I forgot about Van Halen, Metallica, and maybe U2.
