Thank you for taking the time to cover some Magnum songs. Glad you enjoyed the music the band made. Appreciate the time and the support over the years. With the passing of Tony Clarkin last week, it makes it all the more poignant. Thank you.
Thanks Al - coming from a Magnum bass player, that means so much!! We really appreciate your feedback, and we may have mentioned them again in 1986 too 👌
Some fine picks once again. Three of my top five were on your top twelve list. 1 Helloween Walls of Jericho 2 Anthrax Spreading the Disease 3 Exodus Bonded by Blood 4 Saxon Innocence is no Excuse 5 Yngwie Malmsteen Marching Out Honorable Mentions Loudness Thunder in the East Megadeth Killing is my Business…
Magnum, Mama's Boys, Anthrax ,Ratt and UFO my top five but some great gigs too seeing Mama's Boys and Magnum at The Dominion Theater plus Knebworth and Donington and was a big lover of ECT especially seeing Chariot. Good year, such a mix. Great podcast again guys.
Great show as always! This is the first time there have been quite a few in your top 12 I'm not familiar with, so will check them all out. Maybe because I got into metal in 1991!
Awesome!!! I picked up Marillion Misplaced Childhood the other day at local record store, it was so good...keep in mind I was 9 in 1985. Great show as usual!!!
Another great podcast. Misplaced Childhood era was my introduction to Marilion. As much as I love Speak English or Die, no way would that album be released today. As for my favourite album not mentioned (I'm aware there's only so much time dedicated to favourite albums before losing your audience) - Trouble - The Skull Exodus - Bonded by Blood Possessed - Seven Churches Megadeth - Killing is my Business Look forward to the next one 🤟🏻
From your choices I’d go 1.RATT 2. Dokken 3. KISS 4.Saxon and 5. AC/DC. Surprised Theatre Of Pain didn’t sneak in as an honourable mention. I think it’s aged quite well. Great show again guys 💪
Dokken's Under Lock and Key would be my favorite metal album from 85; well-produced quality songs, stellar vocals and superior guitar work. Ratt's Invasion of Your Privacy is brilliant too, the pinnacle of sleazy LA metal. And DIO's Sacred Heart will always hold a special place in my heart. The title track and Rock and Roll Children are among his best songs.
1. Savatage - Power of The Night 2. Fates Warning - The Spectre Within 3. Helloween - Walls of Jericho 4. Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion 5. Megadeth - Killing Is My Business 6. Accept - Metal Heart 7. Blue Oyster Cult - Club Ninja 8. Virgin Steele - Noble Savage 9. Universe - Universe 10. Loudness - Thunder In The East 11. Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force - Marching Out 12. Slayer - Hell Awaits 13. Overkill - Feel The Fire 14. Dio - Sacred Heart 15. Ratt - Invasion of Your Privacy
My top albums for 85 are misplaced childhood spreading the disease 7800 degrees Fahrenheit run for cover and 2 that aren't mentioned theatre of pain by motley crue and Asia with astra
Jammo strikes again! Mama’s Boys were absolutely brilliant. My first proper gig. Saved me from the priesthood. I actually told Pat that once… not a bad track on that album. Tommy’s illness was probably what stopped them breaking big. Recorded the video for Madhouse off the telly. Great craic.. Ratt were awesome back then. Loved them. And FINALLY you put Dokken in a list. Brilliant band. Brilliant album. Putting that Kiss album on there? nooooo! 😂😂😂 I’d have put Sacred Heart on there even though it’s not the best Dio album and believe it or not, a bit of God on there with Stryper Soldiers Under Command - loved that at the time!
Another great episode. Loved alot of these albums at the time. Saw Magnum at Ayr Pavillion. Always remember the start of the show where Bob had a monks habit on with dry ice being blown through it with white lights shining from behind - it looked amazing. I played drums in a band at that point and persuaded the rest of the guys to do a cover of How Far Jerusalem. Such a great track! I had been a Saxon fan since I was 10 and this was the first year I saw them live. It was a brilliant gig. That shift in image though...........NOOOO!! 1985 was the year that I was starting to shift in my tastes more heavily towards Thrash and as such I think that the one album that is conspicuous by it's absence from your list is Bonded by Blood by Exodus. Possibly the album that defined Bay Area Thrash.
Fantastic show guys . That Dokken album's their best.. Go to RUclips and fund the live album / film of Dokken Live From The East 2016 and a really beefed up / fatter Dokken sound that will appeal

Dude… my band supported Magnum in 1988… blew them off the stage obvs… 😂😂😂
Awesome stuff. Gotta love Magnum - British institution !
What was your band called?
Fantastic show guys . That Dokken album's their best.. Go to RUclips and fund the live album / film of Dokken Live From The East 2016 and a really beefed up / fatter Dokken sound that will appeal
Gary Moore's Run For Cover deserves better than also ran lads - COME ON! His best album I reckon.
On the list for some future love my friend !
