The most notable of this time is an actual record, Blind Before I Stop. Depending on who you talk to, it was either his worst album since Midnight At The Lost And Found (which I think was an excellent album in it's own right), or a album which was surprisingly not a hit. I think the latter. It's a good album, but loses some of the crudentials that made his previous album, Bad Attitude (one of the other albums that came out during that time, although I don't know if it came out within your requested time frame), which was billed as Meat's "undiscovered gem." Bad Attitude features Modern Girl, Sailor To A Siren, and Surf's Up, while Blind features Getting Away With Murder, Rock And Roll Mercenaries, the title track, Rock And Roll Hero, and Masculine.
He also had a greatest hits CD that didn't make it to the US shores (in which I live in), called Prime Cuts. That has 11 of his hits from Bat Out Of Hell to Blind Before I Stop. I'm going to try to get an import of this one if I can.
I hope this helps.
