Def Leppard
Motley Crue
Van Halen
Ratt
Answer: Def Leppard
Interestingly, the band's original name WAS Deaf Leopard and came from a poster that lead singer Joe Elliott created for art class. The spelling was modified to make it appear less like a punk band. Written by Elliott, Phil Collen, Steve Clark, Rick Savage, and producer Mutt Lange, "Women" was the second single released from the 1987 album "Hysteria" (although it was the first single released in the US), and it didn't fare too well, only reaching number 80 on the US Billboard charts and not charting in the UK.

It was a defining song of one of the signature acts of the 1980s. Bless you, do you remember who sang "Material Girl"?
Madonna
Martina McBride
Faith Hill
Celine Dion
Answer: Madonna
"Material Girl" was the second single released from Madonna's second studio album, "Like a Virgin" and was a top ten hit on most music charts around the world. Written by Peter Brown and Robert Rans, the lyrics emphasized the material world of the 1980s, but in the Marilyn Monroe-inspired video for the song, Madonna's character rejected the men chasing her with diamonds, instead accepting a guy who brought her wildflowers. Madonna came to dislike the "Material Girl" moniker, pointing out that she didn't write the song and that people didn't get the irony of it all.
