Damn Yankees were an American SuperGroup formed in 1989. The members were:

*Tommy Shaw (Music/{{Styx}}) - Guitars and vocals
*Jack Blades (Music/NightRanger) - Bass and vocals
*Music/TedNugent - Guitars and vocals
*Michael Cartellone (Music/{{Accept}}) - Drums and vocals

They released two albums in the early nineties:

*''[[SelfTitledAlbum Damn Yankees]]'' (1990)
*''Don't Tread'' (1992)

!!Damn tropes:

*FifteenMinutesOfFame: "Fifteen Minutes Of Fame" is a rather cynical take on this.
*IntercourseWithYou: Many of their songs including "Coming of Age", "Bad Reputation", "Mystified" and "Come Again".
*TheJailBaitWait: Suggested in "Coming of Age" in that the subject of the song is either just about to or has just "come of age".
*PowerBallad: "High Enough" and "Where You Goin' Now". "Come Again" starts like this but eventually kicks into a much higher gear.
*TheRunaway: "Runaway" obviously, about a sixteen year old who runs away from a small town to a big city but finds it's not all she was hoping for.
*SelfTitledAlbum/TitleDrop: The first album is called ''Damn Yankees'' and has a song on it also called "Damn Yankees"
*ShoutOut: "Runaway" mentions ''Series/TheTwilightZone'' and "Rock City" mentions [[Music/LedZeppelin Jimmy Page]].
*TruckDriversGearChange - "Where You Goin Now".
