The Jake E. Lee driven band, Badlands from the 80's only ended up with mild success and 3 albums to their credit. In many peoples opinion they are a hidden gem of a band from that era.

For this episode we put together a board of directors that consisted of 5 Badlands fans and asked them to rank all the Badlands songs from their catalog and we are sharing the top 12 results to help put together a "Greatest Hits" package.
