I like most if not all of those songs to varying degrees. There's a couple I'm burnt out on as well. I'll have to think this over and compile a list.
I hear you on the burn out... but I always come back to them. They all have the catchy hooks. If I had a gym, I would probably play these songs.

Awesome tune, they stepped it up on that album ;IMHDO)
Don´t have time now to do _full_ list, but these are the choices of the nordic jury:
Def Leppard - Hysteria Def Leppard - Comin' under fire Mr. Mister -Kyrie John Farham - You're the voice Whitesnake - Here I ago again Queen - Another one bites the dust Judas Priest - You’ve Got Another Thing Comin' Scorpions - Rock you like a hurricane

This for starters
I like your taste! Except for that Queen tune... I am really over that one!
Mr. Mister is a refreshing choice. I like that mid 80’s power ballad stuff!

People can always debate, where they rock or pop, but I don´t mind. They sounded great in what they were doing.
John Farnham is one of the singers that has pipes to deliver.. what he wants. I worked for a long as a journalist, and this was kind of my theme song.
These lists are always a problem. There is so much good music and choosing ones to the "list" is like sticking splinters under your nails. Too much good stuff and when you have chosen the ones, you remember dozens more.
