Ouch...uhm, let's see...(can't narrow down to one, have to name a bunch)

Stratovarius - Hunting High and Low
Loudness - Crazy Nights (kinda simple and typical, but absolutely insane in general "hook" factor)
Chorus:
Running Wild - Bad to the Bone
Ending:
Extreme - When I'm President (never thought of this category before, but I've always dug this one ending)
Solo:
Iron Maiden - Aces High (also used to be my favorite song for many years until I discovered *points to top of this post*)
+ honorable mention of Hibria - Millennium Quest, Scanner - Touch the Light and Bon Jovi - I'd Die for You.
Genre:
80's/early 90's hard rock, hair metal, glam rock, buttrock, call it whatever you want, you get the idea.
Composer:
Steve Harris (Iron Maiden)
Lyrics:
Vio-lence - Kill on Command
Singer:
Bruce Dickinson or Jon Bon Jovi, too close to call.
Guitarist:
Like with my favorite guitar riffs, here it is also too hard to narrow it down to just one...
Vinnie Vincent (most famous for his work in KISS, but put on here for his work in Vinnie Vincent Invasion)
Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi)
Rolf Kasparek (Running Wild)
Wolf Hoffmann (Accept)
Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen)
Dave Mustaine (Megadeth)
Akira Takasaki (Loudness)
Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden)
Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme)
Alex Skolnick (Testament)
Jeff Waters (Annihilator)
Roland Grapow (Helloween)
Phil Demmel (Vio-lence)
Henny Wolter (was in Primal Fear for a couple of albums, fucking underrated)
Diego Kasper and Abel Camargo (of Hibria, also underrated)
Bassist:
Not too much into bass playing.
Drummer:
Raymond Herrera (Fear Factory)
+ honorable mention to Gene Hoglan (Dark Angel), Uli Kusch (Helloween) and Tico Torres (Bon Jovi, badly underrated).
Keyboardist:
Eh...certainly have nothing against keyboards, but never really given any thought into who's actually the best player. I think I'll pick Jens Johansson of Stratovarius though, for some really nice solo's and for that opening riff of Hunting High and Low.
Album cover art:
Not much into art...but some I nonetheless enjoy are:
At Vance - Only Human
Poison - Look What the Cat Dragged In (hey it's honest and to-the-point)
Primal Fear - Black Sun & Devil's Ground
Quiet Riot - Condition Critical
Ratt - Invasion of Your Privacy
Vio-lence - Eternal Nightmare
Warrant - Cherry Pie
Cover:
Metallica - Blitzkrieg (of course it had to be a cover I'd heard before the original, this one has always have been Metallica's song to me)
