Cataloguing My Metal Collection Pt. 56

ARTIST:  Quiet Riot
ORIGIN:  Los Angeles, CA (United States)
TITLE:  Winners Take All
LABEL:  Sony BMG
YEAR:  1990
GENRE:  Heavy/Glam Metal
FAVORITE SONG:  "The Wild and the Young"
NOTES:  Okay, it was cheap.  I was on a long road trip to Canada and we were stopped at a gas station.  I needed something else to listen to and this was just a couple of bucks.  I also bought cassettes from Blue Oyster Cult, Alice Cooper, and Kiss along with a couple of others that I will get to.  Quiet Riot is of course known for "Cum on Feel the Noize" and "Metal Health".  I can't say I listen to this much, but once in awhile it's fine.

Cataloguing My Metal Collection Pt. 53

ARTIST:  Motley Crue
ORIGIN:  Los Angeles, CA
TITLE:  Dr. Feelgood
LABEL:  Elektra
YEAR:  1989
GENRE:  Heavy/Glam Metal, Hard Rock
FAVORITE SONG:  "Dr. Feelgood"
NOTES:  Yet another of the albums that was a hand-me-down from my older brother.  There are a few very good songs on this, and a whole lot of really embarrassing ones too.  Quite simply this is the quintessential glam metal release with some hard rocking tracks ("Dr. Feelgood", "Kickstart My Heart"), some sleazy rockers ("Slice of Your Pie", "Sticky Sweet"), and ballads ("Without You").  I do not listen to it very much and don't have anything else from the band.
