I'm torn between "Psychic....Powerless....Another Man's Sac" by The Butthole Surfers and "Rum Sodomy & The Lash" by The Pogues. :lol:

Air Supply didn't release an album in '85?

BTW, I believe Reckless was released in 1984.

I'd say "Bucky Fellini" by The Dead Milkmen, but that might have been '87, I think. I used to crack up at this song:

"Know what you are? You're a bunch of.... Ar-ar-ar-ar-ar-ART FAGS!" :P (They apparently edited that out in the link above)

If we're talking 1984... no one has mentioned "Purple Rain"?? Aw, c'mon. Without that album/song, what else would you karaoke to at last call in the pool halls?? ..."Private Dancer"? ...I don't think so! :lol:

Bryan Adams capitalized on the momentum of Cuts Like a Knife with 1984's Reckless, a virtually flawless collection of melodic hard rock which would dominate radio for years to come. "Run to You" was a brilliant lead-off single which remains one of Adams' best songs ever, but its success still pales in comparison to follow-up smashes such as "Summer of '69," "It's only Love," (a duet with Tina Turner), and the ballad to end all ballads, "Heaven." Although some songs haven't aged very well (especially the overtly cheesy "Kids Wanna Rock"), these weak links are easily eclipsed by further highlights such as the cool rock of "One Night Love Affair" and the irrepressible pop chorus of "Somebody."

Plan on getting maggoty tonight but I suddenly have an ear ache and I'm feeling fluish. Might sit at home and decide after work whether to drink at home or go out and drink. 60+ hour weeks catch up to you.

Actually they did. It was self titled and it was pretty good. :D

They did a cover of a Springsteen tune on it.

Well, I did this for a joke. DavePC is doing a fine job on the serious polls, so please make a genuine 1984 poll Dave.

I am ready to hit the beer. I have 3 games I need to watch: Wazzu @ UCLA 1130A, Seattle @ Green Gay at 130P and JAX @ NE at 5.

Maggoty? Consider me maggoty hammered by 12N my time.

PS- there was no better album in 1984 than Born in the USA. Ok, maybe Reckless, but no fuckin Dokken that's for sure.

PPS- Dave, IMO you shouldn't include Journey CD's in your polls..it is obvious they will always win. Look at the 1980 poll. NO WAY Departure is the best album of 1980.

Master of Puppets (1984) - Metallica


1984 (1984) - Van Halen
The Unforgettable Fire (1984) - U2

Heartbeat City (1984) - Cars

Born in the USA (1984) - Bruce Springsteen

LOL! "Tooth And Nail" !!! My first intro to Dokken in 1984... Had that on vinyl, and I played the heck out of that album. One of their heaviest!

Check the claw, dude -- it goes right along with your avatar, and is probably from the same creature. :P Actually, I think that's the mythical sea monster known as the Krakken! :P

Reckless blows Born In The USA out of the water. It's like comparing a water bong to a one-hitter. :shock: :lol: :twisted: The 3 games you mentioned are all very good. Unfortunately, work mandates that I miss the Wazzou/Bruins game. :cry: :x I'll be getting hammered for the others, though. :D And I think Departure is a gay album...don't like one song. Though WITS is good live.
