Ten is the ninth studio album by American heavy metal band Y&T, released in 1990 by Geffen Records. It was recorded in 1989 and is the last Y&T album released before the band took an 18-month hiatus in 1991. Joey Alves had left the band in 1989 and was replaced on rhythm guitar by Stef Burns, and many of drummer Jimmy DeGrasso’s original tracks were redone by Steve Smith due to producer Mike Stone insisting on bringing in another drummer .
