Data Insight
Nine tracks, all Snider, and the two that broke the band are the two he wrote as slogans. It is the only album of theirs that sold in millions and the credit on it is exactly the same as on the first record.
Stay Hungry came out on Atlantic in May 1984 and turned two of its nine songs into permanent radio fixtures.
