Lyrically "Clean" Hair/Glam/Pop Metal

Inspired by the other topic, I thought I'd throw this out there and see what people said. 

Up front, of course I'm not only counting bands that sing from a Christian worldview. Rather, I'm looking for stuff that you've found to be less offensive—such as less sexual—than is the norm for this genre. 

For example, I find most of classic Dokken to be clean enough for me to enjoy. There's an occasional innuendo there, but it's certainly nothing like what we often find in the genre. I could even toss most of Winger here. 

What say you?

PS: Yes, I know this is subjective to a degree.

Maybe Extreme?

Maybe Europe as well, but it's been a while since I really listened to them.

I'm sure they're out there, I just can't think of any right now LOL.

^^Good call on Extreme. Pornograffitti actually has something of substance to say with regards to sex.

If you consider them part of the genre, Twisted Sister. Dont see much sexual stuff from Nelson as well. Tesla (again, if you count them) as well.

Bands seem to shift away from the overtly sexual stuff over time. WASP, Cinderella and even Bon Jovi seemed to move on.

Just thought of a few others:
Badlands (albiet I only heard the first album)
Dare (again, I've only heard Out of the Silence and some tracks from Blood from Stone)
Icon (granted, much like Badlands you only have 3 albums)
and for a newer act, the most recent Crazy Lixx album (Rise Above) is pretty clean/positive lyrically (some of their earlier stuff had questionable lyrics though).

I would find this more useful if it were more specific.  All the bands mentioned have some sexual lyrics in some songs.  

What I would find very useful is listing a particular album and saying "all the songs except x and y are clean" or "these songs from this band are clean."

Obviously that requires a bit more work.  And some albums I can't find lyrics for.  I just know that some albums are dripping with sexual lyrics while others are more tame.

A database of non-sexual hair metal songs would be very helpful here.

Would this be a good example?
Cinderella:
Night Songs-Clean save for Shake Me, Push Push, and In From the Outside
Long Cold Winter-Clean save for Fire and Ice
Heartbreak Station-Clean save for Electric Love
Still Climbing-Clean save for Hot and Bothered (which wasnt written for that album in the first place)

That's awesome, that's very helpful.
I'll see what I can come up with later on when I have more time.

And when it comes to Motley Crue, it's easier to do the songs that are clean:
Too Fast For Love: Merry Go Round, On With the Show, Toast of the Town, Stick to Your Guns, Tonight (cover song)
Shout at the Devil: God Bless the Children of the Beast (instrumental), Helter Skelter (cover), Red Hot, Danger (YMMV on the title track).
Theatre of Pain: Louder than Hell, Keep Your Eye on the Money, Home Sweet Home, Save Our Souls, Raise Your Hands to Rock, Fight For Your Rights
Girls Girls Girls: Dancing on Glass. Five Years Dead, Jailhouse Rock (cover), Rodeo (YMMV on Wild Side and You're All I Need)
Dr. Feelgood: Title track, Kickstart My Heart, Without You, Dont Go Away Mad, Time for Change.
Self-titled: Clean save for Smoke the Sky (Poison Apples and Welcome to the Numb have f-bombs)
Generation Swine: Afraid, Confessions, Glitter, Rocketship, A Rat Like Me
New Tattoo: Title track, Hollywood Ending
Saints of Los Angeles: Down at the Whisky, Welcome to the Machine, Just Another Psycho, Goin Out Swingin.

Vinnie Vincent Invasion:

I like this band musically but unfortunately sex and lust are hot topics for them (pun intended).   
Here are their "clean" (non-sexual) songs:

From "Vinnie Vincent Invasion" (1986):

- Twisted
- Back On The Streets

Out of 10 songs, only 2 made it!   That's pretty bad, lol.

From "All Systems Go" (1988):

- Love Kills
- Star Spangled Banner
- Let Freedom Rock
- That Time Of Year
- Ecstasy
- Breakout

Out of 11 songs, this one fared much better.  "Ecstasy" is more like a love song than a sex song.

Tyketto

Well, since Constantine did Vinnie Vincent Invasion, might as well discuss where Mark and Dana wound up, Slaughter:

Stick It To Ya: Pretty much clean save for possibly Up All Night.
The Wild Life: Reach for the Sky, Days Gone By, Times They Change, Real Love, Streets of Broken Hearts, Hold On, Do Ya Know, Old Man
Fear No Evil: Cant find anything sexual here
Revolution: Heaven It Cries, Can We Find  A Way, Stuck On You, Hard To Say Goodbye, Rocky Mountain Way (cover), You're My Everything, I'm Gone
Back to Reality: No lyrics available for this one, sorry!

This is actually truly hysterical to me.  All these years I assumed that album was dripping with sex lyrics based on the cover, the "Up All Night" song, and the screechy posturing of Mark Slaughter.  But you're right, I looked at the lyrics and they are not nearly as bad as I had thought.  Obviously still not godly but not lascivious.  Go figure....

That's why this exercise is valuable IMO.

Was just thinking about this topic while listening to Jamie's Cryin by Van Halen. If you look at the lyrics, it seems to have somewhat of a pro-abstinence message. It's about a guy who wants to have sex with the titular girl, but Jamie knows that it wont lead to anything serious and rejects him, and she's shown to be in the right:

Now Jamie's been in love before, ahh-ahh
And she knows what love is for, ahh-ahh
It should mean a little, a little more, ahh-ahh
Than one night stands, woo

Blessed By A Broken Heart - Feel the Power (2012) 

Bonfire - Fireworks (1987) - skip Rock Me Now, but the rest is fantastic!

White Lion - Pride (1987) - skip Hungry and Sweet Little Loving

Ratt - Out of the Cellar (1984) - skip The Morning After

The Poodles - Sweet Trade (2007)

Babylon AD-Nothing Sacred. Just skip Psychadelic Sex Reaction and you've got a killer bluesy metal album (think Cinderella) that even has some Christian themes (Redemption, Down the River of No Return, Pray for the Wicked).

EDIT: Ok, just re-read some of the lyrics on my copy (admittedly, I havent listened to it in a while), and there are some more sexual lyrics than I remember. Still, the three songs I mentioned, plus Take the Dog Off the Chain, Bad Blood, So Savage the Heart, and Dream Train are all pretty clean songs.

Krokus-Headhunter (skip Night Wolf), The Blitz (skip Hot Stuff), Change of Address

Skid Row-Slave to the Grind (skip Psycho Love and GTFO, if you can find the censored version, it deletes the latter one altogether and replaces it with the much better Beggar's Day)

Love that Babylon AD album but wish it wasn't so juvenile lyrically.

I remember deleting that one from my list because of the language. Good to know that there's a censored version of it out there.

FYI, the censored version of the album is out of print (and the one used for digital distribution and the recent vinyl box set is the "original"), but it can be found pretty easily (just check the back cover and see if "Beggar's Day" is on it).
