could def leppard be put in this catagory, they have one of the highest selling albums, followed by a fairly successful follow up...after that gone pretty much from mainstream/
Leppard were huge from 82-92
...thats 10 years, hardly an overnight sensation

a fair amount of the bands being mentioned weren't what i'd call "big" by any means.? The Darkness?? what'd they have, like 1 maybe 2 songs?? I think its more interesting to discuss artists who were on the top of the food chain one day and then overnight were a punch line.? ?limp bizkit is prob the best recent example
all of the 80s bands went away b/c of grunge.? all the grunge bands went away b/c that fad ended.? now there is no real defining genre, its just a bunch of one album wonders - and even most of them don't reach insane heights of success.
very difficult for a band to stay successful album after album.?
bon jovi and U2
are the only two rock bands i can think of that are still extremely successful after YEARS of being around in terms of successful tours AND album sales.

M?tley Cr?e, they faded pretty quickly after Vince left in the early 90s.
the crue were screwed with or without vince - that genre was dead. those bands became punchlines until recently when people have been rediscovering them and its trendy now to like 80s rock.
btw, Dokken is still rocking out - DD is like 50+ years old. they are HUGE in Japan!!

No way would def leppard be in there?? they sold millions of albums and were famous from 82-92
im thinking bands like Twisted sister or Quiet Riot who had 1 big album and kind of went away..
