Well here we are, at Classic Rock's figurative deaths door. 1991 would bring the final and fatal blow to our beloved Classic Rock sounds. Smells Like Teen Spirit blew it away and the stage was set for a decade of down-tuned, mumbling, depressed bands selling us a new version of rock and roll replete with flannel plaid button ups and torn jeans. These so-called "angry" artists may have won the battle of the decade, but did they win the war? Who knows, when you stop and look back it was easy to see why the 70's and 80's Classic Rock sound faded out, they became complacent, and the sound never changed, so it was easy for a band to swoop in take over.
Anyway, back to 1991, what did the final battle cry sound like? And what would happen to our classic rock bands going forward? We'll save that for another SHT list, for now, take off your hats and pay your respects to the death of Classic Rock...

Enjoyed this one Scott. I own three of the four albums (don't own the Rush album). Have never much payed attention to the Foreigner album. That song is okay. The guy does sound like Gramm at times. I've also never been much of a fan of that VH album. I liked 5150 much better. But this tune isn't too bad.
I wouldn't mind picking up the Rush album. I think that song you played is really good. As for Queen, although at this point it sounds like a broken record, I've just never been much of a fan of that album. But this song, listening to it today, is really quite epic. Guess I need to spin all three of these that I own soon.
My quick song ranking would be:
1. Bravado
2. Innuendo
3. Spanked
4. Only Heaven Knows
