Metal Heart
Artist: Accept
Community Score: 7.62

With 1985's Metal Heart, German metal institution Accept attempted to add catchier choruses and melodies to their high-octane guitar riffing in a clear ploy to crack the American market. Not that this move in any way upset the balance of their thus-far smooth-running metal machine, which had been gaining momentum with every release since the... Read More

Choice Cuts
Artist: Iggy Pop
Community Score: 10.00

Following the success of David Bowie's version of "China Girl," RCA assembled Choice Cuts, a compilation of Iggy Pop's two albums for the label. Actually, "compilation" is a misleading word: Side one of Choice Cuts features side one of The Idiot, while side two features side one of Lust for Life. It effectively illustrates the differences...

Eat 'Em and Smile
Artist: David Lee Roth
Community Score: 8.19

Few would argue that David Lee Roth's first solo EP was a complete comedy send-up, albeit a very successful one that gained him enough favor with the MTV peanut gallery to solidify his potential as a solo artist.

We Want Moore!
Artist: Gary Moore

This album is a jaw-dropping affair for anyone who believes that Eddie Van Halen is the ultimate guitar-shredding experience. Gary Moore's classic live album We Want Moore! is about as good as it gets. Drawing mainly from the Irish guitarist's previous two studio albums, every cut gets a shot in the arm from Moore's extended soloing, most... Read More

Done with Mirrors
Artist: Aerosmith
Community Score: 7.11

Joe Perry returned to the fold in 1985, and Aerosmith turned out their finest record since Rocks. Unlike the records that preceded it, Done With Mirrors is powered by the same smart-assed lyrics and filthy guitars that formed the core of Aerosmith's best songs. It didn't receive the commercial or critical attention that Permanent Vacation did... Read More

Toys in the Attic
Artist: Aerosmith
Community Score: 7.91

After nearly getting off the ground with Get Your Wings, Aerosmith finally perfected their mix of Stonesy raunch and Zeppelin-esque riffing with their third album, Toys in the Attic. The success of the album derives from a combination of an increased sense of songwriting skills and purpose. Not only does Joe Perry turn out indelible riffs like... Read More
