1988 – L.A. GUNS release their full-length and self-titled studio album. On this memorable L.A. GUNS album, Phil Lewis is the vocalist and Tracii Guns is the lead guitarist. A significant album of Hard Rock from the 80’s, indeed.

2015 – Journey Greatest Hits sits at #94 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart. This album has spent a whopping 336 non-consecutive weeks on Billboard’s Top 200! Whoa! Um… maybe Journey should be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, one of these days?
