They Call Us Problem Child, We Spend Our Lives On Trial

Let's get your Monday off to a rockin' start today with a lot of hair. And, I do mean a lot of hair. It comes from the hair metal band with the classical first name of Sebastian Bach. That's right, it is Skid Row with the song and video that put them on the map and helped shoot them to stardom. Get out your gloves and your leather jacket and boots and start screaming we are the "Youth Gone Wild"...

#27

One of my favorite rock ballads today at #27 for you by the band formed in 1987 in New Jersey. With a lead singer who has the first name of Sebastian, you can't go wrong! And with a nostalgic ballad like this it was all over proms around the country. It was the quintessential "memories" song during 1989-90 and will forever remind me of my senior year of high school and the many lawns I mowed that summer of 1989 with Skid Row blasting in my ears - particularly this song.

You Can't Think of Dying When The Bottle's Your Best Friend

Those are wise words to live by... Sebastian Bach back with us today in The Excellent 80's with another of their hits from their debut album... youth, anger, trouble, drama... it's all here in this song... Skid Row biggest hit - "18 and Life"...

Remember Yesterday

It's the time of year when there are a lot of graduations and numerous videos/dvds being put together of days past and fun times gone by... from the year I graduated high school, 1989, I wore this song out the summer after I graduated... maybe it holds a nostalgic memory for you too... Skid Row with "I Remember You"...

As a bonus, here's one of the reasons I love Carrie Underwood - she's not afraid to sing a Skid Row song... rock on, Carrie!
