About

San Francisco's Y&T never achieved mainstream fame with a breakout album or single, but it wasn't for a lack of talent or effort. Since 1976, they've released more than ten albums of technically masterful Metal. All the high-end guitar soloing can be off-putting unless you're a guitarist yourself, but if that's the case, Yesterday & Today Live (1990) is required listening.
