Rock of Ages- Big (Hair) Contest!


I'm a child of the '80s but I was never a big hair band fan until nostalgia set in. I remember having heated debates in junior high over whether Heavy Metal was cooler than Punk Rock: I definitely sided with the skatepunks over the headbangers. It wasn't until much, much later that I realized that they all kind of trickled down from the same fountain. Now the cheesiness and tight pants live on as Classic Rock…

Rock of Ages is the Broadway musical starring American Idol finalist Constantine Maroulis. Set in 1987 in a legendary Sunset Strip rock club, a small-town girl meets a big-city dreamer and they fall in love to the greatest metal songs of the '80s. It's sort of a Mamma Mia! for metalheads… You might recall Bret Michaels from Poison getting smooshed by a piece of scenery a couple of months back? Well, that performance was in honor of the five-time Tony Award nominated Rock of Ages.

New Line Records has just released the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Rock of Ages and it's a total hoot to listen to and sing along with. Check out the track listing (listen to tracks online here):
