At a time when the charts were ruled by pop-metal acts, Dokken was a major attraction throughout the 1980s. With vocalist Don Dokken's captivating stage presence and guitarist George Lynch's high-energy style, the two rockers combined their talents, creating a number of best-selling albums.

Dokken was signed to Elektra Records in 1984 and released Tooth and Nail, which featured the hit songs "Into the Fire," "Just Got Lucky," and "Alone Again." With heavy MTV and radio airplay, Dokken found they were topping the charts worldwide, and Tooth and Nail eventually sold over 1 million copies in the U.S. alone. Following a tour with the Scorpions, the group recorded Under Lock and Key in 1985, which had similar success due to the hits "In My Dreams" and "It's Not Love." In 1987, the band released Back For The Attack, which featured a track they had written as the subtitle for the film Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors. The coinciding music video, which included scenes of the band interacting with the movie's characters, was their most popular ever, and Back For The Attack became Dokken's third record to reach platinum status. The album's subsequent tour resulted in a live compilation, Beast From The East, which was released shortly before the band broke up in 1988 due to Don Dokken's and Lynch's creative differences.

On May 13, 2008, Dokken released their first studio album in four years titled Lightning Strikes Again, which was met with increased commercial success and became the band's highest charting album in 13 years debuting at #133 in the United States. Currently, Dokken is power housing through each show to continue to give you the band's signature sound.
