EP 42: 1985 Year In Review of Rock
Episode 43
Saturday, 20 December, 2025
Gather ‘round the Yule log, grab a stiff eggnog (you’ll need it), and join us for our final broadcast of the year! We’re unwrapping the sonic gift that was 1985—though, much like that itchy sweater from your aunt, some of these albums should have come with a gift receipt. In this holiday special, we dive deep into the year of big hair, bigger synths, and some truly questionable career choices. 🎁 What’s Under the Tree: The "Naughty or Nice" List (Top 5 Albums): We reveal our top picks from 1985. Since we both ended up with almost the exact same list, we had a sobering realization: either we’re soulmates, or 1985 was a barren wasteland of "meh" that made us cling to the few good records like a life raft. The 1985 Bracket Challenge: We put the heavy hitters head-to-head in a single-elimination tournament. It’s like March Madness, but with more spandex and higher vocal registers. The 1985 Ultimate Band Draft: Forget the 12 Days of Christmas; we’re talking about the Ultimate Free Agency Draft. We built the greatest supergroups 1985 could possibly assemble. Who’s the frontman? Who’s on the skins? Who gets coal in their stocking? Rock Jeopardy: We test our festive wits in a round of 1985 trivia. Spoiler alert: our brains are about as fried as a Christmas ham.
