A few weeks ago, the Kousins did a retrospective of music (and other pop-culture things) from 1986, which focused on the hard rock genre (which can be found here). The Kousins will be visiting other years. But before we all move on, it was time to grade the top hard rock albums of 1986 (in their opinion).

The albums that were graded (from A+ to F) were (in no particular order):

Alice Cooper - Constrictor

Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet

Cinderella - Night Songs

David Lee Roth - Eat 'Em and Smile

Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time

Judas Priest - Turbo

Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?

Metallica - Master of Puppets

Ozzy Osbourne - The Ultimate Sin

Queensrÿche - Rage for Order

Tesla - Mechanical Resonance

Van Halen - 5150

WASP - Inside Electric Circus

Poison - Look What the Cat Dragged In

Ratt - Dancing Undercover

Stryper - To Hell With the Devil

Slayer - Reign in Blood

Calls from Jim From Irwin and Jem From Alabama.

We have Instagram and Twitter. We can't ask for those "enjoy" things and for you to keep getting updates because Facebook doesn't like that. Pfft...
