"I Want Everything" by Tesla

Taking their name from the scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla, this California hard rock band rose to fame in the late 80s. Their first chart appearance was in 1987 when their cover of "Little Suzi" reached #91. The band would score the biggest hit of their career with another cover song, "Signs," which reached #8 in 1991.

Tesla certainly could make their own hits, too. Several of their power ballads hit the charts, including "Love Song" (#10), "The Way It Is" (#55), and "What You Give" (#86). The latter ended the band's time on the charts, but it did not signal the end of their prolific music-making career.

"I Want Everything" comes from Tesla's latest, their 2019 album entitled "Shock." Listeners might note some similarities to the sounds made famous by the 80s counterparts Def Leppard. That's because Phil Collen helped write and produce the record.
