Monsters of Rock

Razor & Tie’s Monsters of Rock compilation crystallizes the excess and arena ambition of 1980s hard rock and glam metal, gathering Quiet Riot, Great White, Alice Cooper, Europe, Ratt, Warrant, Whitesnake, and Poison under one roof. These acts defined the decade’s MTV-driven guitar heroics and power ballad formulas, from hairspray-heavy production to stadium-filling choruses. A time capsule of spandex-era rock’s commercial peak.
