themusicaddict's 67th Band in The 106 Greatest 80's Musicians Part 28b: Skid Row, Part 2: The Best of Their Second CD "Slave To The Grind"

Hello,

Here's Skid Row's complete second CD "Slave To The Grind". Remember "you can't be the king of the world if you're a slave to the grind". The band consisted of the same members as on their debut CD. From Wikipedia: "Slave to the Grind is the first heavy metal album to chart at number one  on the Billboard 200 in the Nielsen SoundScan era, selling 134,000 copies in its opening week. The album was certified 2× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 1998 for shipping two million copies in the United States." This CD was preceded by N.W.A. and followed by Van Halen as #1 CDs in the summer of 1991.

I remember one of the reviews about this CD said something like Skid Row had been "eating glass" while making this CD. That describes their harder edged second CD perfectly. These are the best songs from that CD, but first here's the entire CD:
