What album has the biggest U.S. hit for the band often credited as one of "the fathers of crossover thrash"?
Suicidal Tendencies Suicidal Tendencies (also known as S.T. or simply Suicidal) are an American crossover thrash band founded in 1980 in Venice, California by vocalist Mike Muir, who is the only remaining original member of the band. Along with D.R.I. and S.O.D., they are often credited as one of "the fathers of crossover thrash". Their current lineup includes Muir, guitarists Dean Pleasants and Jeff Pogan, bassist Ra Díaz and drummer Dave Lombardo. Notable former members of the band are lead guitarist Rocky George (now in Fishbone), rhythm guitarist Mike Clark (formerly of No Mercy, now in Waking the Dead), bassists Louiche Mayorga (now in Luicidal), Robert Trujillo (now in Metallica) and Stephen "Thundercat" Bruner, and drummers Amery Smith (later of Uncle Slam and the Beastie Boys), Jimmy DeGrasso (formerly or later of Y&T, White Lion, Alice Cooper and Megadeth, now in Ratt) and Brooks Wackerman (now in Avenged Sevenfold).
Metal Health Metal Health is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Quiet Riot. It was released on March 11, 1983, bolstered by the No. 5 hit "Cum On Feel the Noize" and the No. 31 hit "Metal Health". "Metal Health" is notable for being the first heavy metal album to reach the top spot on the "Billboard" 200, replacing the Police's "Synchronicity" at number one in November 1983. The album went on to sell more than six million copies and is considered a classic among heavy metal fans. Some critics, such as AllMusic, describe it as a one-hit wonder, owing to Quiet Riot's relative lack of critical and commercial success with following albums (and subsequent disintegration) towards the end of the 1980s. The title track was ranked No. 35 on VH1's 40 Greatest Metal Songs.
