in Atlanta with the Hell Hounds, which included both Mauro Magellan (drums) and Rick Price (bass, formerly of the Brains). With Baird essentially joining the Hell Hounds, the Georgia Satellites were reborn and American record labels started taking notice of the band. Mainstream popularity and hiatus (1986–1993) In 1986, the group signed with Elektra Records and reunited with Glixman to record their debut full-length album at Cheshire Sound Studios in Atlanta. The album, Georgia Satellites, was their most successful LP, featuring the track "Keep Your Hands to Yourself". The song reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, kept from the top spot by Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer". It went into heavy rotation on MTV. Other lesser-known songs included "Battleship Chains" (No. 86), written by Terry Anderson and "Can't Stand the Pain", but the Satellites never had another top 40 hit.

The lead single, "Open All Night" (backed with "Dunk 'n' Dine"), failed to chart. A third studio album, In the Land of Salvation and Sin, was released in 1989, which included re-recordings of "Six Years Gone" and "Crazy" from the 1985 EP. Although it received positive reviews, it also failed to do well commercially, and Baird left the band in 1990 to pursue a solo career. Of his departure, Baird said, "It came about by my inability to turn in really good shows." He elaborated, saying, "I developed a very shitty attitude about the band. So, one morning I woke up and fired myself. We were together for 10 years and we weren't able to inspire each other anymore. It's like any relationship that starts getting too old. There was just certain things that started getting lackadaisical." The band's 1993 compilation Let It Rock: The Best of the Georgia Satellites included a selection of the best tracks from the
