Pretty Boy Floyd - Rock And Roll (Is Gonna Set The Night On Fire)
- MTV Headbangers Ball 1989 -
50 Greatest Hair Metal Albums of All Time (by ROLLING STONE)
#45 - Pretty Boy Floyd, 'Leather Boyz With Electric Toyz' (1989)
Named after the notorious bank robber and armed with enough hairspray to rip a hole in the ozone, this quartet of glam overachievers was, of course, from Hollywood. Their debut's sonics mirrored their over-the-top looks, taking that more-the-better aesthetic and turning it into larger-than-life hooks — "whoa-oh-oh"s sounded like they were constructed from choruses of militias, lyrics were about taking over the world with the power of rock & roll. A faithful, if amped-up, cover of Mötley Crüe's early offering "Toast of the Town" proved that they knew their history; the syrupy ballad "I Wanna Be With You" proved that they knew how to lure in the ladies. Leather Boyz is glam metal at its most extreme, turned up to 11 on every possible level.
