Although they were a successful band in the 80’s, Ratt does not seem to get a lot of respect these days. As one of the Pop Metal stars of their day, Ratt was not about singing socially conscious music but rather fun party music. Granted, their look and style is somewhat maligned these days, but as cycles go it is possible that their style of music could get celebrated again.

I loved their album covers. marianne Gravatte was a playboy playmate of the year and her out of the cellar cover is a classic.
