Season 1

Green Day

When they went into the studio to make Pyromania, Def Leppard were just another meat and potatoes rock band with two flop albums and a silly name. But producer Mutt Lange had a dream of stadium-filling choruses, whomping drum tracking, and turning these Sheffield wannabes into pop-rock gods. VH1 tells the tale of how one guitar player and thousands of overdubs later, a masterpiece was born.

Bob Marley & the Wailers

Bon Jovi

Meat Loaf From Iceland to Italy, rock fans around the world almost immediately understood the power of Bat Out of Hell. But it took a while for America to get to the heart of Meat Loaf's rock musical, which ultimately put some much-needed body fluids back into rock ‘n' roll. Here were seven turbo-charged songs - nay, arias - about things that made sense to anyone who'd ever lived through prom night.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Red Hot Chili Peppers were the world's greatest party band - except the world didn't know it yet. All that changed with Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Inspired by sobriety, a new guitarist, and maybe a ghost or two, the veteran group's 1991 crossover success redefined the California sound. Ultimate Albums celebrates the sexy insanity of the disc's popfunknroll.
