Thanks Jayman for bringing back all those kick ass songs. While I'm older than you, and I was in my mid thirties when those songs were popular, I was the manager of a shipping and receiving warehouse where I hired kids to work after school and during the summer. We had a crew of high school kids, aged 16-18 who were heavy metal freaks, with the long hair and some jewelry, but no body piercing's or anything too extreme, as these were all middle class kids who lived with their families and did have limitations.
But AC/DC, Quiet Riot and Twisted Sister were always on the radio at work. These are great teen anthems for guys that age who have all their emerging testosterone churning inside them, and these groups provided a non sexual release, as the Who and Zeppelin and Jethro Tull did for me and kids my age, back then.
As you shared I Want To Rock, by Twisted, I want to include their other wildly popular hit of the mid eighties, and the videos are a hoot too.
