Aerosmith remained true to their rock roots, and when they weren’t in rehab, they rocked the casaba with the best rock songs from CDs to videos. “Walk this Way” with Run-DMC was an ingenious collaboration.
Heart topped the charts with the best female rock and roll. We all wanted to date Dreamboat Annie.
Fleetwood Mac is, well simply the band everyone went to see, and cried when Christine sang “Songbird.”
Boston brought new guitar sounds, technology, and kicked off the ‘Corporate Rock’ genre with heavy branding and no album notes or pictures of members of the band.
Foreigner dated MTV, but never gave up the goods as they remain true to themselves, and gave us the best guitar licks form this era.
Michael Jackson opened the ticket window of the suburbs, ruled MTV, and created the best video history from “Billie Jean” to “Beat It”.
