Editor's note

Icon's melodic hard rock from late-'80s Los Angeles

A band that formed in 1989 and scored a top 10 hit with 'Hungry for Love'.

For the full late-'80s vibe, start with 'Hungry for Love.' 'World War' holds up as a solid deep cut from that era.

Icon arrived right when melodic hard rock was peaking in Los Angeles, and their self-titled debut landed at number 27 on the Billboard 200. The single 'Hungry for Love' broke into the top 10, giving the scene another radio-ready anthem. Songs like 'World War' and 'Shot At My Heart' show the guitar-driven, hook-heavy sound that defined their corner of the Sunset Strip.

The band formed in 1989 and released their debut that same year. After drummer Pat Torpey left in 1993, they put out 'Night of the Crime' in 1994 before going on a long hiatus. They returned with new albums in 2008 and 2017.
