W.A.S.P. (first album)

Released on August 17, 1984, W.A.S.P. was the eponymous first album by the L.A. hard rock band fronted by Blackie Lawless. Similar to Motley Crue in presentation, they were a little heavier than the Crue in sound. They had some catchy songs, but never caught on with the general public like some of their Sunset Strip brethren did, maybe because Blackie's vocals weren't very "pop". This album in particular had two great earworms, I Wanna Be Somebody and L.O.V.E. Machine.
