"Leave it Alone," Living Colour (1993)

Hard, heavy rock that makes me feel great

Peak: #4 on the alternative chart

Y’all, Living Colour rocks so hard. Whether they’re coming at us with a glam-rock kiss-off like “Glamour Boys” or a headbanging ass-kicker like “Cult of Personality,” they are here to blow us away. Their musicianship — driven by lead guitarist and primary songwriter Vernon Reid — cannot be touched. Their songs are smart, electrifying, and played with panache. And then there’s lead singer Corey Glover, who can embody a character while hitting big notes. (No wonder he spent several years playing Judas Iscariot in a touring production of Jesus Christ Superstar.)

If you’re in the mood to punch the air with your fist, then I recommend you check out “Leave It Alone,” the lead single from their third album, Stain. `
