1. Poison is an American rock band formed in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, in 1983. The most recognised lineup includes lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Bret Michaels, drummer Rikki Rockett, bassist Bobby Dall, and lead guitarist C.C. DeVille. The band achieved major commercial success from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, selling over 40 million records and DVDs worldwide. In 2012, VH1 ranked them first on its list of the "Top 5 Hair Bands of the '80s."
Poison reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" and scored multiple Top 40 hits, including "Talk Dirty to Me," "I Won't Forget You," "Nothin' But a Good Time," "Fallen Angel," "Your Mama Don't Dance," "Unskinny Bop," "Something to Believe In," "Ride the Wind," and "Life Goes On."

Their third album, "Flesh & Blood," also went multi-platinum and became their best-selling release.
In the 1990s, following the release of their live album "Swallow This Live," Poison underwent lineup changes and faced the decline of glam metal with the rise of grunge. Their fourth studio album, "Native Tongue," achieved Gold certification, and their compilation album "Poison's Greatest Hits: 1986–1996" was certified double platinum. The original lineup reunited for a greatest hits tour in 1999. In the 2000s, the band released "Crack a Smile... and More!," "Power to the People," and "Hollyweird" (2002). In 2006, they celebrated their twentieth anniversary with "The Best of Poison: 20 Years of Rock" tour and album, which was certified Gold and marked their return to the Billboard Top 20 for the first time since 1993.
