#50 Quiet Riot- Metal Health


This might not be number fifty but i wanted to start with a bang(Bang your head, Metal Heath will drive you mad). 1983, the world was just recovering from the punk era, and hip hop/rap hadn't ignited yet. The world needed an anthem. So we got Metal Health. Two great singles, the title track plus "Cum'On Feel the Noise". noise was a remake of the Slade song of the same title. QR made it their own. I was 12 going on 13 and this was the first album that i can remember buying with my own free will(no parent influence). I remember doing my paper route with my brother Tim and the both of us listening to this and singing our adolescent hearts out. Those were the times, just discovering music, having freedom with your bike and paperboy money in your pocket. Enjoy you head bangers. You know you are. Don't deny it.
