Tom Waits - Rain Dogs The Cure - The Head on the Door The Smiths - Meat is Murder Husker Du - New Day Rising Husker Du - Flip Your Wig The Replacements - Tim The Cult - Love (I'm surprsed no one mentioned this one) Sisters of Mercy - First and Last and Always Tears For Fears - Songs From the Big Chair The Pogues - Run, Sodomy & the Lash Prefab Strout - Steve McQueen Killing Joke - Nightime Waterboys - This is the Sea The Style Council - Our Favorite Shop A lot of non-metal and hard rock albums that I'm sure no one on the show likes but 1985 had a lot of great stuff
I fully agree with you on The Cure, The Smiths, The Pogues...and of course the genius of Hounds of Love album by Kate..they're all classic brilliant albums! I just separate genres for this show.
its always weird for me when i watch these panels because i was a complete Thrash guy in high school, but when i graduated in 90 i was losing interest in all the disappointing new releases of the last couple of years. then once grunge and 90s alt rock blew up i completely lost interest in new music and started investigating the previous 40 years of music i never really knew and a lot of my favorite music is new wave and goth and post punk of the early and mid 80s.

I like that a new HVS tradition is roasting Bryce about WASP. Well done everyone! I also like that everyone is going quickly when Chris Alo is not on the show. I hope everyone saves their longest stories for when he comes back. Iron Maiden: Live After Death Tom Waits: Rain Dogs -Marc Ribot is one of my favorite guitarists Rush: Power Windows -for several years now this has been my favorite Rush album
Yeah, if I do another specific year episode again I will ask Pete to let me go last so I don't step on anyone else's picks, good thing that Keeler was the only one that came after me. And it was cool flashing them when others mentioned them so I would not have so many at the end.
1. Squeeze - Cosi Fan Tutti Frutti 2. Shooting Star -Silent Scream 3. Streets-Crimes in Mind 4. Producers-Run For Your Life. 5. Megadeth-Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good
I used to have really bad headaches when I was fourteen, I went across the street to my friends to give him a tape of recorded punk stuff , I didn’t feel good, my head was throbbing so I knocked on the door, and he took the tape. In exchange he gave me a real cassette of hell awaits. I got it home, put it in and, wouldn’t you know, by the time the first side was over,I was okay. So there’s the beginning of my love of slayer.

For those who don't know. The Johansson brothers, that played on Malmsteens -85 album, had a father named Jan Johansson who was a famous jazz pianist. Died in a car crash in 1968 when the brothers were very young. He was very popular at the time of his death. His album "Jazz på svenska" (Jazz in swedish) where he combines old swedish folk music with jazz is still very popular and still sells pretty good.

Pete, the Hudson Valley Squares is more a heavy metal/thrash/ black/doom metal thing of late. I love watching it mainly for the personalities. I like a bit of thrash but don't go more intense than that. (Recently attended the Anthrax gig in London) Iwould love to see maybe a different show like you do with the prog stuff but just on the less heavy stuff. I unashamedly liked hair metal back in 87, I like Southern rock, 70's Glam Rock, some of the bands I know you don't like I do (GnR, Motley Crue, even Pearl Jam) but I still would enjoy seeing them being talked about. I would love to see an alternate show where you might talk about the Doobie Brothers, Great White, Sammy Hagar, Triumph, Thunder, the Scorpions, Journey. All these bands you guys do discuss but I think some of the HV squares are more into the extreme stuff. I grew up on a good diet of Led Zep, ACDC and the Doors. Soft rock, rock, hard rock, starting to get heavy but not going into the extreme.
Butch and I are kindred souls! Thank you my friend for your passion and input!! Love and own first copies of ICON & KING COBRA!! And you mentioned Kick Axe!!! "Vices" hello!!!

Count Ralphus is also a great edition. He's not only heard of every band in existence , but also owns all their albums on vinyl, cassette and CD formats
I looked up the album on RU-vid earlier this year - since it wasn't available on Spotify - after Ryan Skow mentioned it on an earlier show about doom metal. I love it, though!

Hi guys and Karen, Great show. My list from 1985 top 3 Subject to change. This is what I was listening to at the time. However, i would include Savatage Power of the Night in now. It appears Metal Church was reissued under Elektra in 1985. If that is the case that would be number 1. 1. Dokken - Under Lock and Key 2. Accept - Metal Heart 3.Loudness - Thunder in the East.
Surprised and very happy to hear Dead Kennedys mentioned on this show. I'm wearing the Frakenchrist t shirt as I watch. One of the first cassette tapes I bought was give me convenience or give me death, along with Carnivore, the Mentors, DRI , Subhumans and a bunch of other stuff mentioned
Got to see and hangout a couple of times with Jello Biafra and his band The Guantanamo School of Medicine, one night after a show I got Jello to sign like 16 different vinyl for me, every DK album and 7inch and all his side project and spoken word albums, he is a big vinyl collector so he was really cool about signing so many things for me.
@@countralfus6408 I've seen him show some of his collection on a video. He has a huge knowledge of obscure stuff and I wouldn't expect anything less truthfully. His unique vocal style is burned into my brain permanently made a big impact on my young mind.

When I first heard the album Seven Churches, it was on Montreal's CHUM FM metal show on Friday's nights at 11 pm. The host introduced the album like this: "Louder than Venom, faster than Slayer, here's Seven Churches by Possessed." Then, you could hear the theme song from "The Exorcist"... (the host always played the first two songs from each side.) I always think of that quote when I listen to that awesome album (which I bought the next day at 'Rock en Stock').
I’m surprised no one mentioned Manilla Road’s “Open the Gates”, one of their best albums, and I remember being swept away the first time I heard the song “The Ninth Wave”.
Feel the Fire- Overkill Hell Awaits- Slayer Get It While Its Hot- Black Lace Metal Heart- Accept Love You To Pieces- Lizzy Borden Battle At Helms Deep- Attacker
So glad Butch had Stryper included in his honorable mentions (I'd be surprised if he didn't). I loved when he said Karen you can put your hand up to your face all you want. People who never listen to Stryper and dismiss them because of their lyrics are missing out big time. Stryper is my 1st concert and 2nd favorite all time band!
1. Open the gates- Manilla road 2. Marching Out - Yngwie Malmsteen 3. Dokken - Under lock and key Honorable Mentions: Soldiers under command - Stryper Evil Invaders - Razor Legions of the dead - Tyrant The spectre within - Fates warning

Nice to see you include them...The Church have got to be the most underrated band ever, fucking incredible 80s output, love them, have all their vinyl. Has this ch ever mentioned them?
@@seekah1 Thanks! I am only familiar with their 80s albums and i think they all are really strong (especially Starfish which is one of the best 80s alternative albums). They definitely deserve more recognition worldwide!
@@bartivo1233 I remember hunting down all their 80s material on vinyl back in the mid-90s here in NZ obsessively where they were quite common in ex used cond. I had a Goth friend who introduced me to them in those days and I was blown away immediately. They had a healthy crossover audience, I can't remember them touring down here much, even in their glory days. So unique, they never seem to stale.
Dire Straits- Brothers in Arms Dio - Sacred Heart Marillion- Misplaced Childhood Asia- Astra Dokken- Under Lock and Key Rush- Power Windows Kiss- Asylum Iron Maiden- Live After Death Saxon- Innocence Is No Excuse Scorpions- World Wide Live Megadeth- Killing Is My Business…And Business is Good Anthrax- Spreading the Disease Freddie Mercury- Mr. Bad Guy Motley Crue- Theatre of Pain
That English Dogs record is super underrepresented for how good it is, and I'd throw in Warfare - Metal Anarchy for another punk and metal blend! Manilla Road - Open the Gates would be my number one with Walls of Jericho and Marching Out keeping it company.
I recall Deep Purple Perfect Strangers in 1985. Not much more. Asia Astra was a great 1985 album, though released late in the year. Rush power windows was pretty cool too. Fun show.
My top 3 in no order WASP - The Last Command Marillion - Misplaced Childhood Kate Bush - Hounds of Love Honourablle Mentions - Pat Benatar - Seven the Hard Way Gary Moore - Run for Cover Alcatrazz - Disturbing the Peace

I was waiting for Skow to mention Kate as it's such a masterpiece and I know he's a big fan! I need to chase up more of Gary Moore and that Heart album is awesome. I couldn' t really get into BOC after FOUO but the Heaven Forbid album was a return to form somewhat for me. Interesting list.

SOD's Speaking English or Die created a lot of controversy in Quebec after its release. Many TV/radio hosts and politicians took issue with the album title (i.e., that French and other languages were relegated to second class importance). I even heard a very popular radio host having a segment about that album.
Do any of you know where the term "7 Churches" comes from? The Book of Revelation, the last book of the New Testament, chapters 2&3. These chapters contain the letters that were dictated to the Apostle John while he was exiled on Patmos. They were to be sent to 7 specific churches in Asia Minor (modern Turkey) and prophesy the future of the Christian Church, each letter referring to a different era. They lead into a discussion of the Apocalypse. You probably don't care, but I thought it might be interesting to some.
