SKID ROW...Skid Row (1989)
Skid Row was released 25 years ago today in 1989. It reached number 6 on the U.S. Billboard album charts. I remember my brother-in-law had bought this cassette when it came out. He listened to it a few times and then he grew bored with it. I kinda took it over but I ended up listening to '18 And Life' and 'Youth Gone Wild' (the 2 singles) and pretty much ignoring the rest. After listening to it yesterday I found out that the rest of it is pretty good, as well. It's definitely an 80's hair-band style album which is good (don't let nobody tell you any different). The highlights are the 2 singles, along with 'Rattlesnake Shake'
