In Rock We Trust by Y&T
In Rock We Trust is an album by Y&T, released in 1984. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Don't Stop Runnin”, on 1 list with a best position of #295.
In Rock We Trust, Y&T's sixth studio album, came out on A&M in 1984, and the title is less a slogan than a creed for the Oakland, California outfit that started out as Yesterday & Today. Tom Allom produced, and the classic lineup is intact: Dave Meniketti on lead vocals and guitar, Joey Alves on guitar, Phil Kennemore on bass and Leonard Haze on drums, with Kennemore and Haze chipping in on vocals. It's hard rock built for the arena, two guitars sparring over a rhythm section that hits like a freight train, and "Don't Stop Runnin'" and "Lipstick and Leather" deliver exactly what their titles promise.
It climbed to 46 on the Billboard 200, their highest-charting album up to then. A 2006 remaster sold through the band's website added a studio take of "Go for the Throat", a song that had never been on a Y&T album before; it had turned up live on 1985's Open Fire and as the B-side to "All American Boy".
