Big hair, bigger choruses, and three of the anthems that set the tone for a whole decade of metal. Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It", Cinderella's "Nobody's Fool" and Ratt's "Round and Round" arrive together in the 1980s metal mix, with bass, lead guitar, alt lead, rhythm guitar and piano parts between them, plus a chord chart on every track.
Dee Snider built "We're Not Gonna Take It" on the melody of the Christmas carol "O Come, All Ye Faithful", which is a large part of why the chorus sticks on a first listen and why the chord chart makes such a forgiving first climb. Tom Keifer's "Nobody's Fool" pulls the other way: a power ballad from 1986's Night Songs that leans on its piano as hard as it leans on its guitars. "Round and Round" came out of the way Stephen Pearcy, Robbin Crosby and Warren DeMartini wrote together, two guitarists bouncing riffs back and forth, and that twin-guitar design is exactly what the lead, alt lead and rhythm parts split between them.
