Review of Skid Row: Slave to the Grind
Skid Row entered the scene at a cross roads of rock and grunge. Touring with both sides of the fence, they went through a journey on this album from a more polished glam metal sound to something harder. Did it work?
The guys get together and give their takes on what they thought of the album and the musical happenings of the time that might have influenced it’s fate. Could the band put out something solid in the face of changing musical tastes?
Stay tuned at the end when Darren reveals his pick for next month where we explore a new theme for a round: favourite compilation album. Find out some initial thoughts on why he picked 1981’s Full Tilt by K-Tel records.

Selected by Darren Scott
Compilation albums were all the rage in the 80s. Unless you had a great double tape deck or were solid at taping from the radio station, you were out there buying albums with all your greatest hits on them. If you had eclectic tastes, these compilations were the only economical way to get your fix in.
Take a blast back into the past as we see the pre-streaming version of getting your mix tape on. Listen along with us using the playlist below, and tune in at the end of the month to see what you might have missed!
