Between 84 - 87 or so, many groups "changed" sounds to something a little more electrical:
ZZ Top - Afterburner
Van Halen - 5150
Ozzy Ozbourne - The Ultimate Sin
Rush - Grace Under Pressure
Yes - 90125
In my opinion, it all started with Alabama's, 'The Closer You Get' release back in 83.
A few months back, Dead-Air allowed his son to pick all the songs for a, 'What's This Called?' that was taking place on his sons birthday. The show started with a track from the new Joan Jett album is it was great! I will be picking up that album soon enough......
