BECK | ODELAY, June 18, 1996 . Beck made it on the map with his minimalist, folk-rap novelty record, Mellow Gold. But Mr. Hansen earned household name status with his tasty follow up, the sample drenched, Odelay. Where It's At + Devil's Haircut scored the album's biggest hits. But the sneaky psychedelia of Derelict us secretly the record's best track. Shout out to this altrock landmark in honor of its 25th anniversary! . . . . #totalrockfiend #cdcollecor #cdcollecors #cdcollection #cdcollections #beck #odelay (at Beverly Hills, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQSKVWtD0mS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Van Halen's F.U.C.K. turns 30! Released on June 17, 1991, For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge marked this hard rockin' SoCal outfit's 9th studio album, and third with David Lee Roth's replacement frontman, Sammy Hagar. . Though the piano-driven top 40 tune, Right Now, scored the album's big hit, overall F.U.C.K. proved to be a vast improvement over the overtly poppy schlock of it's predecessor, OU812. . Love or hate this incarnation of VH (known as Van Hagar to many), it's tough to argue with the irrepressible charm of rockers like Pound Cake, Runaround + Top Of The World! . . . . #totalrockfiend #cdcollecor #cdcollecors #cdcollection #cdcollections #vanhalen #vanhagar #fuck #forunlawfulcarnalknowledge #sammyhagar #davidleeroth #eddievanhalen #alexvanhalen #michaelanthony (at Beverly Hills, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQQ9_t9DNA2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Meant to chime in to honor this fantabulous album's 30th anniversary last week, but time got away from me... . Anyway, New Jersey's answer to Hair Metal, Skid Row released their sophomore album, Slave To The Grind on June 11, 1991. . Leaning less on the power ballads that bouyed their eponymous debut to the top of the Billboard charts, Slave snarls through raging rockers like Monkey Business, the title track, Psycho Love + Riot Act. And ultimately results in what, to my ears, is the band's best work. . Sadly, the group parted ways with front man Sebastian Bach in the late '90s. And while a reconstituted Skid Row continues to tour the nostalgia circuit, they do so without Sebastian. Here's hoping the two camps can mend their fences and do some 30th anniversary Slave tribute shows! . . . . #totalrockfiend #cdcollecor #cdcollectors #cdcollection #cdcollections #skidrow #slavetothegrind #sabastianbach #hairmetal (at Beverly Hills, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQQ7q0yjeMQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
