Our Steelheart albums ranked list looks back at the album discography of a great glam metal band formed in the early 1990s. While the decade of the 1980s had its share of glam metal bands like Motley Crue, Poison, and more, the 90s bands started to veer more towards an alternative sound. That was the story of Steelheart whose sound as well as it’s lineup changed dramatically throughout the years. The one constant has always been Steelheart’s legendary phenomanal vocalist Michael Matijevic. If you have never heard him sing, you must check out these great Steelheart albums.
