Crazy World (1990)
The Scorpions are undisputed titans of hard rock and heavy metal, having sold over 100 million records worldwide since their formation in 1965. Their discography spans decades of sonic evolution, from early psychedelic and progressive rock to the high-octane "hair metal" and legendary power ballads of the 1980s and 90s.
