Black 'N Blue
According to our friends at Rock is Dead/R.I.P., this album is "one of the best hard rock releases of all time.
One of a select few records from other L.A. Bands that I think set the stage for Guns N' Roses to do what they did a few years later with Appetite.
The Guns were just sitting in the background absorbing new music like this at the time.
They latched onto this aggressive style, added a little bit more classic rock into it (like Aerosmith, Stones etc.) & took the world by storm.
The success of this band was a little more ill fated though. 4 releases, no hits, & dropped from the label. This is thier debut. Probably their best. The lead guitar player (Tommy Thayer) has since took the role of Space Ace in KISS."
