Skyscraper by David Lee Roth
Skyscraper is an album by David Lee Roth, released in 1988. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 13 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Just Like Paradise”, on 13 lists with a best position of #197.
Skyscraper, David Lee Roth's second full-length solo album, came out on January 21, 1988, hot on the heels of the Eat 'Em and Smile Tour, which had been a hit with fans and critics alike through 1986 and 1987. Three years out of Van Halen, Diamond Dave took the producer's credit himself, and the record sounds like a man with no intention of toning anything down: big, glossy hard rock with the same wild, grinning energy he brought to the stage.
"Just Like Paradise" was the hit, one of his solo successes of the late '80s alongside "California Girls" and "Yankee Rose".
