Ratt is an American hard rock band that had significant commercial success in the 1980s. The band is best known for songs such as "Round and Round," "Wanted Man," and "Lay It Down".
Ratt has been recognized as instrumental in the formation of the early 1980s Los Angeles hard rock and glam metal scene.
After a well-received, self-titled independent EP, the band signed with Atlantic Records and immediately started writing and recording what would be its first proper album "Out of the Cellar".
Released in March 1984, the breakthrough album was critically praised by both fans and critics alike at the time of its release.
Milton Berle's guest appearance, dressed in his Uncle Miltie drag character, in the video for "Round and Round" helped draw even more attention to the band.
Out of the Cellar combined the then-prevalent Van Halen and Aerosmith influenced bravado elements with the then-novel muted, staccato guitar-picking style of Judas Priest.
The album scored much radio and MTV play with the blockbuster anthem "Round and Round" (which peaked at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100).

Hair Nation A-Z is an easy series of caches along KY 3 between Prestonsburg and Inez honoring those unforgettable(?) 80's heavy metal bands with even more unforgettable hair.
The highway is generally not heavily traveled, but can be very busy at times. There is plenty of parking room near each cache so be sure to get your vehicle completely off the road and use extreme caution when exiting and entering the highway.
If you have children with you, make sure you keep an extra eye on them.
Have fun and Rock on.
