While I'm thrilled that FMAJ wandered onto Newbury St., had lunch at Stephanie's and made it into our imaginary hall of fame, I think there is far too much protesting about what is and what isn't hair metal and whether it's okay to like it. Here's a hot take, boys. Tesla and the Black Crowes would've made a great double bill in the early 90s. They would've sold out plenty of Worcester Centrums across the nation. And before you clutch your collective pearls, I'd like to point out that they both opened for Mötley Crüe. Sorry to hurt you like that, fellas.

In 1990, I was living in an entirely different music universe. The Venn diagram of Tesla fans and people that might throw me into a locker was a solid circle. I'm not sure I've ever heard this record other than "Signs," or anything by the band besides this and Little Susie (sp?).

What I can 110% relate to is being late to class 'cause I was sitting in my car waiting for a song to finish. That alone tells me this record is worth a spot in the hall. Kids today are missin' out.
