This week, I am joined by Jim Santora, author of The Underrated Rock Book, as we build the ultimate 80’s hard rock playlist—packed with underrated gems, arena anthems, and guitar-driven classics from the decade that helped define the genre.

Whether you're into hair metal, riff-heavy deep cuts, or high-energy rock radio staples, this playlist has something for every hard rock fan. We explored multiple directions while staying true to the raw, unapologetic spirit of '80s rock.

Turn it up and relive the glory days of hard rock!
