Whitesnake, “Slide It In” (Geffen, 1984)
A lot of this is already heading toward the band’s eventual destiny as bloated, synth-driven power-easy-listening arena swill, but the best cuts are such a perfect distillation of thunderously dead-from-the-neck-up heavy cock-rock that they trump even Spinal Tap’s parody/tribute. And these guys are ex-Deep Purple/Rainbow, so you know it sounds huge. Picture the musical equivalent of the “Dilldozer” from “Idiocracy.”
