Pyromania was the first album I ever owned, purchase for me for my birthday by a friend in elementary school. I still know all the songs and went through the track list in my head. I was pretty sure it was Rock! Rock! (Till You drop), but then remembered Rock of Ages and I knew that was a musical.

This should have been very gettable as Thousand Island is pretty much russian dressing and isn't there a thousand islands bridge? I knew Buffalo dressing is more a sauce and is nothing like russian dressing, but went with it anyway. I went to school in Rochester, so this is shameful.
