Volume 10: 1983

Covers bands at their commercial peak (Genesis, the Police), U2’s first international hit (“War”), David Bowie’s biggest success (“Let’s Dance”) and Prince, Bryan Adams and Def Leppard—acts that finally start to make it big. Kiss appeared without makeup (Lick It Up), Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All broke ground for the trash-metal genre, and Quiet Riot’s Metal Health became the first heavy-metal album to hit No. 1. The second British Invasion, plus the year in country, hip-hop and jazz are also covered.
