Sorry. I don't get it Bob. Never heard of the term hair band. When did that term come out?

I certainly didn't invent it:

From "The Free Dictionary:

hair band
n.
...
...

2. A band that plays hard rock or heavy metal, whose performers typically have long, teased-out hair.

I've seen this term used a lot on various music fora, usually referring to long-haired bands that are part of the "New wave of British heavy metal". Robert Plant was probably a pioneer of the look.
