Damn Yankees was an American hard rock supergroup, well known for the single High Enough, formed in 1989, consisting of Jack Blades (Night Ranger), Tommy Shaw (Styx), Ted Nugent and drummer Michael Cartellone. Presumably inspired by the musical of the same name, Nugent once also explained that he coined the name because whenever someone asked him how he and Tommy Shaw would sound playing together, he would always reply by saying they would sound like “a bunch of damn Yankees. ” With Tommy Shaw from Alabama, Jack Blades from California, Mike Cartellone from New York, and Ted Nugent from Michigan, it did seem as if the band represented all four corners of the nation.

Just please don't call them "Glam" or I might have to die. Not every 80's & 90's hard rock band was "glam" and Damn Yankees are one of them.

*sigh* why does last.fm display the George Girshwin score for the Damn Yankees Don't Tread album? It is clearly tagged as Artist: Damn Yankees Album: Don't Tread. Not: Original Cast Recording or any crap like that.

I classify them as "Hair Band" or "Hair Metal," and there's nothing wrong with that.

I laugh at the person mentioning one hit, look up facts before you open your mouth and reveal the truth about yourself. * High Enough - (1990 - #2 Mainstream Rock Chart, #3 Billboard Hot 100) * Coming Of Age - (1990 - #1 Mainstream Rock Chart, #60 Billboard Hot 100) * Come Again - (1991 - #5 Mainstream Rock Chart, #50 Billboard Hot 100)
