![]() The band Ratt has been in the news a lot lately and not all in a good way. This ranking will be just a summary of the good and bad of each album. You can go back and read each review in detail by just clicking on the album title. I hear they band is planning a new album in 2019 and when it comes I will review it in detail like the others and I will update this list and put it where it belongs among the classics or the crap. I believe I was brutal where I needed to be and kissed their ass when it deserved it as well. While I love most of what they do, they don’t always deliver the goods and I tried to be as honest as I could be throughout the review processes. It has been an enjoyable ride walking through the history of the band, all the ups and the downs, the good and the bad and loving every minute of it (wait that is Loverboy)…and loving watching the wax or cd spinning round and round (much better). in 1983 all the way to 2010’s Infestation.

No one was able to do anything with the song and under a one day turnaround due date, Juan took the song and came up with all the vocal melodies and basically all the lyric as well. Warren had the cool ass riff, Stephen who maybe came up with the title and Juan who really did all the heavy lifting.

I don’t believe the song charted, but it was in very heavy rotation on MTV which was all I was listening to any way at this point in my life. The song was released as a single in Japan only but it had a video on MTV in the US because it was used in the Eddie Murphy movie ‘Golden Child’ (Note, this is not the soundtrack song I mentioned earlier). First up will be “Body Talk” off the band’s 1986 album ‘Dancing Undercover’. And to shake it up, I am going to pick one song from each release (they had 9) and soundtrack song not on any studio album. For My Sunday Song #251, we are kicking off a 10 song set of Ratt songs. ![]()
