You Can't Stop Rock 'n' Roll, Twisted Sister's second album, came out on Atlantic in 1983, with Stuart Epps producing, and it's the sound of a hungry band from Long Island getting ready to break down the door. The classic five were locked in: Dee Snider screaming, Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda trading guitars, Mark Mendoza on bass and A.J. Pero on drums.
This is meat-and-potatoes heavy metal, fat riffs and fist-pumping choruses, dressed up in the lipstick and outrageous threads that made them impossible to miss. "I Am (I'm Me)", "The Kids Are Back" and the title track, a fresh recording of a song first heard on the Son of Homegrown compilation in 1982, were the singles. Critics liked it and the underground loved it, and it set the stage for the big breakthrough with Stay Hungry. It finally went gold in America in 1995.
