\"HRH<\/p>\n

The Hardrock Haven staff is taking a nostalgic trip back to the ’80s, taking aim at those Hard Rock and Metal albums that made us fans of the genre(s). Whether it was the angst-driven anthems or the overly decadent lifestyle, the ’80s defined a music era that was hammered into our collective psyche. So, let\u2019s go back in time to when many of us were first turned on to Hard Rock and Heavy Metal.<\/p>\n
