(1990) Holy Water by Bad Company, which featured Brian Howe on lead vocals.
Brian Howe was also featured on 1984s Penetrator album by Ted Nugent.

(1989) Badlands debut album which featured Ray Gillen and Eric Singer, who previously played together in Black Sabbath. This album also features guitarist Jake E. Lee (Ozzy Osbourne) and bassist Greg Chaisson.

(1984-1986)The Firm were a British rock supergroup comprising former Free and Bad Company singer Paul Rodgers, ex-Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, ex-Uriah Heep and Manfred Mann's Earth Band drummer Chris Slade and bass player Tony Franklin. Page and Rodgers originally wanted former Yes drummer Bill Bruford and fretless bassist Pino Palladino in the group however, Bruford was contracted to another label and Palladino had tour commitments with singer Paul Young.

(1987)(Contagious by Y&T is the eighth studio album by American hard rock/heavy metal band. It is the first Y&T studio album to feature a different line up since their debut album, with Jimmy DeGrasso replacing Leonard Haze on drums after he left the band in 1986. Y&T disbanded in 1991 after the release of their 9th studio album titled Ten, the same year Pearl Jam also released their debut album entitled Ten.

(1986) The Best of Nantucket is a compilation of popular songs from North Carolina music group Nantucket. It covers material from all studio albums by the band from 1978 through 1985. later album releases include, Still Live after All These Years (1995), The Unreleased D.C. Tapes (2006), and Nantucket Original Archives (2010).

This is just an example of a few albums that actually contained good hard rock, before the takeover of grunge in the early 90s. There is good rock during this period if you just look for it. Its my opinion a lot of these bands and albums are forgotten from this particular era, and often overshadowed by grunge from the 90s.

Thats a great album, problem was the band had a very hair metal image and they never stood much chance with the grunge explosion at more or less the same time.
