No, I call it cheeze rock because by the mid 80s, rock became more about hairspray and image than anything else. (And even all of the ladies in the poll succumbed to it themselves, to a greater or lesser extent). Guitars took a back seat to keyboards. Everything was glossy and overproduced. Fucking power ballads clogging the airwaves. Horrid. Cheezy.
Of course there was some great music in the 80s. But in general it wasn't a great decade for rock, IMO.
