The thing about VH, is they were the first hard rock band a lot of girls got into, even the “cheerleader” types.
Most of the chicks I knew were into Journey, especially when their ballads starting coming out, which was probably more in the early 80’s, after they conceded the hard rock genre to VH. That and Foreigner is what they would play whenever they had a Friday night party at one of the girl’s houses, where spin the bottle was the main attraction starting about 10PM.
The guys who liked VH usually only listened to that with other guys, when riding around out in the country, with car stereos that could do 120 dB lol.
