I learned recently that the Bryan Adams song "Run To You" was originally offered to BOC but for some reason, they turned it down. They would have had a massive hit with that and done it way better too.
They certainly weren't a chick band though, LOL. But that made the chicks who dug them really cool. There was nothing worse than a guy's favorite band turning into a chick band. That happened to REO Speedwagon when "Hi Infidelity" came out. I had a friend who was their biggest fan, who swore after Hi Infidelity came out, he'd never listen to them again.
