Springsteen for folks who didn’t want to have to deal with the politics, these working-class stiffs stayed on the opposite coast from the Sunset Strip but picked up a lot of its tricks. Working with pop songwriter/professional earworm breeder Desmond Child resulted in two of the biggest and most inescapable sub-Journey rock radio hits: “You Give Love a Bad Name” and “Livin’ on a Prayer.” Its third megahit, “Wanted Dead or Alive,” will be riding on a steel horse through Hell’s loudspeakers forever. Like its title, Slippery When Wet is slick, crass, and absolutely undeniable.
