"Wings" by Tyketto

Hailing from New York, Danny Vaughn's post-Waysted band, Tyketto, arrived on the pop metal and hairband scene just a little too late. Had it been released earlier, their debut album from 1991, "Don't Come Easy," could have been remembered as a classic along with late 80s albums by Bon Jovi, Poison, and Warrant.

The band released a fairly decent track to start their career, "Forever Young," but it failed to chart and didn't bring sufficient attention to the band. This meant that better cuts on the album, including "Seasons," "Sail Away," and the terrific ballad "Standing Alone," got far less attention than they deserved.

Tyketto's sophomore record, "Strength In Numbers," was dropped, but ultimately picked up by another label in 1994. Vaughn has one of the best voices in rock--he's released solo records and other projects such as From The Inside. Unfortunately, none have given him the wider recognition he deserves. A reunited Tyketto continues to make new records and tour today.

"Wings" might have been a better choice to introduce this band to the world. It is a much stronger song, and far more memorable.
