Approach these songs with an open mind and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

They flopped commercially, but it wasn't for a lack of quality.

The genre was more than hits and filler.

Warrant's second album defied the sophomore jinx, but there would be a larger price to pay later on.

Many of the scene's biggest bands caught lightning in a bottle on their first try.

Winger, Quiet Riot and Lita Ford will support on various dates.
