Released 7/29/79, us kids were told the guitarist was one of the best but a little out of his head. I liked the hard-pop of these bands coming out of the 80's, it was easier to listen to then some of the harder 70's, longer songs, which I enjoy now.
8/1/81 MTV was born! We all know the 1st video, followed up by Pat Benatar (great video game background music at the arcades) Huge weekend for hard rock in 1986, Cinderella came out with Night Songs (8/2/86), one of the 80's HR best. and finally one of the longest, most anticipated waits in music history fell with a thud, Def Leppard Hysteria 8/3/86, yea even though I love the song, it was kind of a dud for them. I had a very early cassette copy and we blasted it from a million different cassette decks.
