Sure, sure Heart joined the long list of corporate whore rockers, well deserving of rockers' disdain for the band.

However, in the 70s (and 1980's Bebe Le Strange) Heart mixed mellow moments with hard hitting rock-outs on their full lengths. For this playlist, The Mighty Decibel has compiled the best rock tracks from the band's early (and best) material.

Kick it out!!!!

Welcome to The Mighty Decibel's 20th entry in its Discography Review series.

This outing we look at the six record career of Toronto's fave bar band ... Goddo. So, yeah, a little obscure, but well worth your time to check out.

Let that lizard loose!!!

We continue our 'The Year In Metal" series moving into the 90s ... not a great decade for the fortunes of heavy metal.

This 1991 episode shows that no specific heavy sub-genre was leading the pack, instead we have as diverse a grouping as you'll ever find in our ever growing series. From extreme metal to folk metal, from punk to hard rock, from boogie rock to grindcore ... it's all represented in this ode to 1991.

Don't worry though, metal will arise after the 90s!!!
