Pyromania
When they went into the studio to make Pyromania, Def Leppard were just another meat and potatoes rock band with two flop albums and a silly name. But producer Mutt Lange had a dream of stadium-filling choruses, whomping drum tracking, and turning these Sheffield wannabes into pop-rock gods. VH1 tells the tale of how one guitar player and thousands of overdubs later, a masterpiece was born.

Bat Out of Hell
Meat Loaf From Iceland to Italy, rock fans around the world almost immediately understood the power of Bat Out of Hell. But it took a while for America to get to the heart of Meat Loaf's rock musical, which ultimately put some much-needed body fluids back into rock ‘n' roll. Here were seven turbo-charged songs - nay, arias - about things that made sense to anyone who'd ever lived through prom night.
Blood Sugar Sex Magick
Red Hot Chili Peppers Red Hot Chili Peppers were the world's greatest party band - except the world didn't know it yet. All that changed with Blood Sugar Sex Magik.

Ultimate Albums celebrates the sexy insanity of the disc's popfunknroll.
