Monsters of Rock is a heavy metal/hard rock compilation album released by Razor & Tie, which includes 16 hits of the 1980s "hair metal" scene (except for .38 Special's 1981 hit "Hold on Loosely"), many of which charted in either the Top 10 or Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. A 2 disc version was also released, heavily promoted by TV commercials and containing 35 songs (except for Cheap Trick's "Surrender", which was released in 1978).
The single-disc version was eventually certified platinum by the RIAA in 2001.
