Happy 25th anniversary to the KISS song God Gave Rock n' Roll To You II which is one of the classic KISS songs. Originally a remake of a Russ Ballard song, it was co-written by Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Bob Ezrin with Ballard getting a co-writing credit. It originally appeared as a single and the end credits for the movie Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and later on KISS' Revenge album. The song would be the first song recorded by current drummer Eric Singer and the final song to feature second drummer Eric Carr as he sang back up vocals before passing away in November 1991 due to cancer. There's technically two versions of the song with the movie version featuring a bad ass guitar intro from Steve Vai.

Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name
Happy 30th Anniversary to Bon Jovi's breakout album: Slippery When Wet. Although, I'm not a big Bon Jovi (though I don't know why since their music is right up my alley). The album features many signature songs including You Give Love A Bad Name, Livin' On A Prayer, Raise Your Hands, I'd Die For You, and Dead or Alive. The album was also the first to feature songwriting from the brilliant, legendary songwriter and producer Desmond Child who co-wrote You Give Love A Bad Name, Livin' On A Prayer, I'd Die For You, and would later co-write Bad Medicine and Born To Be My Baby for the follow up New Jersey. The album was also the first to be produced by legendary producer Bruce Fairbairn who later produced the follow up New Jersey.
