Records that completely derailed a singer's career?
Inspired by Todd in the Shadows' new series TRAINWRECKORDS:

Oh that is TOOOO easy . :D LOL!
80s Rocker Billy Squier (Yes it's spelled right) was having a
great career between 1980 - 1984...UNTIL the song "Rock Me Tonite".
Now. There's nothing wrong with the song itself. It's he absolutely
laughable video he made for it (and for that matter agreed to be in.)
Picture a (then) 33/24 year old man n a torn pin shirt and more awful 80s wear, 'strutting' around like a teenager in a bedroom that has no girlfriend. On top of that, just scene after scene of rock video cliche's, guaranteed to leave you falling down laughing. It reached #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 but his next single "All Night Long" (not the Lionel Richie song) only reached #75. He never made the top 40 or top 50 again.

He later fired his manager. He also does 'NOT' perform this song in concerts.
