How 'bout a little real music?

In my opinion if you had someone who was raised by monkeys on a desert island and they had no clue about 80s metal, the quickest way to show them what it was all about, how it sounded, how it looked et cetera, would be to simply let them watch a few Cinderella videos.

And I intend that as praise!

 

Ah, a man of taste! Cinderella was without qualification one of the best bands in that whole genre. My late '80s Hair Metal mix (not all of it good, a lot of it pretty bad... but hey, that was part of the charm ):

1. Talk Dirty to Me - Poison
2. Seventeen - Winger
3. Mr Brownstone - Guns n' Roses
4. Dr. Feelgood - Motley Crue
5. Don't Know What You Got - Cinderella
6. Why Can't This Be Love - Van Halen
7. Bang Your Head - Quiet Riot
8. 18 and Life - Skid Row
9. Heart's Done Time - Aerosmith
10. Kiss Me Deadly - Lita Ford
11. Wheels - Enuff Z'nuff
12. Poison - Alice Cooper
13. Crazy Crazy Nights - Kiss
14. Here I Go Again - White Snake
15. Lay It Down - Ratt
16. Heaven - Warrant

Interesting selection of tunes everyone! I've been on an Iron Maiden kick lately...not sure why but it's been awesome!

Here's a coin and tune:


PAMPHYLIA, Aspendos.
AR Stater, 22mm, 10.78g, 12h; c. 380/75-330/25 BC.
Obv.: Two wrestlers grappling; ΦK between, below
Rev.: Slinger in throwing stance right; EΣTFEΔIIYΣ to left, counterclockwise triskeles of legs to right; lion countermark in lower right field.

 

Killers is pre-Bruce Dickinson, but it's a fantastic album in its own right.



And what better way to pay tribute to an album that kicks off with a track called Ides of March...

 

Two Nashville power popsters Brad Jones and Hans Rotenberry's Froggy Mountain Shakedown (a terrific slice of Americana pop).



And a coin with a mountain/volcano reverse.
