- "You Can't Stop Rock 'n' Roll" From: ‘You Can’t Stop Rock ’n’ Roll’ (1983) Although it was essentially a test drive for Twisted Sister’s imminent breakthrough in most every way (the metal with melody, the visual duality between denim and spandex — not to mention the self-effacing music video), the title track to the quintet’s sophomore album is a force of nature in its own right, and a categorical ‘80s hard rock classic, if you ask us.
- "Under the Blade" From: ‘Under the Blade’ (1982) Remorselessly heavy, unnerving in the extreme, and rawer than sushi, the title cut from Twisted Sister’s first full-length was a far cry from the comparatively PG-13-rated melodic rockers that would cross the band over to the mainstream just a couple of years later.
- "I Wanna Rock" From: ‘Stay Hungry’ (1984) After all the years of trial and error in the ‘70s, plus the baby steps taken in the early-‘80s, Twisted Sister finally found the “golden formula” for commercial success with their platinum-selling third album, Stay Hungry.
