I consider them too the most talented band from L.A. but I think they´re not a "hair band" at all, in spite of their image. They played and play melodic metal (more metal in the beginning of their career).
Dokken most radio friendly album is "Back for the attack" (2 or 3 songs on "Under lock and key" too) but they failed in their first single. In my opinion "Burning like a flame" wasn´t the best election. Besides, at that time, the band members fought every day (specially Don and George) and it meant the end.
"Under lock and key", "Tooth and nail" and (I guess) "Back for the attack" made platinum in the US. Not 5 millions like Mötley Crue but it´s OK for a band like them. Fortunately for us (the fans) they weren´t Poison or Warrant.
