On this day in 1983, Quiet Riot released their third studio album “Metal Health”. It spawned two hit singles and became the first heavy metal album to reach number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Thoughts? Favourite track? #QuietRiot - ThreadSky

Slick Black Cadillac is such a fun song to turn up.

Loved Metal Health the most off the album. Great album and killer singles to also open up radio airwaves for more hard rock and metal bands.

First cassette I ever purchased.

Great pop metal band. Loved Cum on Feel the Noize and Metal Health.

I liked this tune too.

I was in college when this came out. Saw Maxx Warrior play cuts from this album at the Mad Monk in Wilmington NC numerous times. And I wonder why my ears are always ringing 🤣🤣

80s hair metal started right here.

It was just ok, at best. There were much better albums that year, including (in no particular order):
SRV - Texas Flood
REM - Murmur
The Police - Synchronicity
Bowie - Let's Dance
Def Leppard - Pyromania
Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues
John Cougar Mellencamp - Uh Huh

Classic 80s metal! I love their Slade cover Cum on feel the noise.
