I was asked to post an album a day that influenced me musically at an early age
DAY #6…Riot (NOT Quiet Riot) 1981. Zero airplay! I heard them on college radio WNHU. They sound like Bad Company in a huge way yet their cover of the Animals ‘When I was Young’ still drives me crazy in a great way!
Side note: I always hated the album cover art. What’s with the half boy/half rat? It’s not Iron Maiden or Molly Hatchet art. It detracts from the music in my opinion. My taste starts to progress at this point but I still consider this good rock!
2nd side bar: the song ‘Loanshark‘ could have been an Iron Maiden song! Right???
