Taking their moniker from the nickname for charismatic Depression-era bank robber Charles Arthur Floyd, Hollywood's Pretty Boy Floyd emerged in 1987 near the tail end of the glam and pop-metal scene. The band's 1989 debut album, Leather Boyz with Electric Toyz, cracked the Billboard 200 and yielded the hits "Rock and Roll (Is Gonna Set the Night on Fire)" and "I Wanna Be with You." Disbanding in 1994, Pretty Boy Floyd reconvened in the late '90s and have gone on to release an EP (A Tale of Sex, Designer Drugs, and the Death of Rock n' Roll) and two full-length efforts (2004's Size Really Does Matter and 2017's Public Enemies). Rock and Roll (Is Gonna Set the Night on Fire), a collection of demos, covers, and re-recordings, appeared in 2021.

Although they were often considered Mötley Crüe/Poison disciples, Los Angeles '80s glam rockers Jetboy contained a former member of the group that may have been responsible for the whole musical movement in the first place -- former Hanoi Rocks bassist Sam Yaffa. Joining Yaffa were Mickey Finn (vocals), Fernie Rod (guitar), Billy Rowe (guitar), and Ron Tostenson (drums), and while they never hit the big time like the aforementioned pretty boy outfits, the quintet enjoyed exposure on MTV's Headbanger's Ball program, resulting in some regional success. Their first two albums, 1988's Feel the Shake and 1990's Damned Nation (both on MCA), were issued during glam's peak, but with the emergence of the Seattle movement, Jetboy and their ilk took a backseat to such back-to-basics rockers as Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam. During the late '90s, several collections of rarities and highlights were released, including Day in the Unglamorous Life, Make Some More Noise, and Lost and Found. For lovers of '80s glam/pop-metal, Jetboy may be one of the genre's best-kept secrets. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi
