Poison is an American glam rock band that achieved great success in the mid-1980s to mid-1990s.

The band has also charted ten singles to the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, including six Top 10 singles and the Hot 100 number-one single, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn". The band become icons of the '80s MTV era and have had widespread commercial success.
