Great show. I was working in a record store during the Jacksons Victory record. Yeah, it sold millions. But they were presold to the stores. We literally couldn't give them away. The label would not accept returns.
ugh... what a nightmare
Yes - Big Generator
Foreigner - Agent Provocateur
REO Speedwagon - Life As We Know It
Heart - S/T
Toto - Isolation
Queen - Hot Space / A Kind Of Magic
What a fun episode once again! 😅 Enjoying these covers shows, my absolute highlights of the week 🤘
Actually, the most dated eighties thing at all is The Contrarians theme... Just saying
Sting- "Bring On The Night" live album from 1985.
Robert Plant- "Shaken N Stirred" from 1985.
Rush- "A Show Of Hands" live album from 1989.
One of my first albums as a kid. John Cougar Mellencamp's Uh-huh. 😂
I'd include:
- Yes: Big Generator
- Genesis: Invisible Touch
- ELO: Balance of Power
- Foreigner: Agent Provocateur
- Ian Anderson: Walk Into the Light
- Thomas Dolby: The Flat Earth
- The Moody Blues: The Other Side of Life
- Emerson, Lake & Powell: ST
- Blondie: Eat to the Beat
I know this is from 1979 but screams 1980s. If I gave it a brief glance, I would have thought of it as a cover of a synth pop band around 1983-'84.
- Prince: Purple Rain
- Too many album covers by hair metal bands, especially the band logos and of course the appearance of the band members themselves.
- King Crimson: Beat
- King Crimson: Three of a Perfect Pair
I like the cover to Discipline (doesn't look one bit dated) but these two, not so much, both looks dated '80s.
- David Bowie: Never Let Me Down
- Joe Satriani: Surfing With the Alien
- 3: To the Power of Three
Perfect Timing- McAuley-Schenker Group....that hair!
Manowar - Fighting The World
Stryper - Soldiers Under Command
Krokus- The Blitz
Ratt- Out of the Cellar
Ratt- Invasion of Your Privacy
Great White - Once Bitten
(and all those covers featuring some hot girl that had nothing to do with the music or band.)
Kilroy Was Here- Styx
Flaunt It- Sigue Sigue Sputnik
Pleasure Victim- Berlin
Tell It To My Heart- Taylor Dayne
The Age of Plastic- The Buggles
Better Than Heaven- Stacy Q
Michael Bolton- S/ T
October- U2
Freedom of Choice- Devo
Like A Virgin- Madonna
Rolling Stones Still Life Live
Y & T - Down For The Count
Saxon - Innocence Is No Excuse
Cinderella - Night Songs
Rush - Power Windows
Emerson Lake and Powell - S/T
Michael Bolton - Everybody's Crazy
Cheap Trick - The Doctor
Foghat - In The Mood For Something Rude
Extreme - S/T
King Crimson - all 3 80s albums
Power Play and Animal Grace by April Wine
Even Zappa couldn't escape the 80 s look with "Broadway the Hard Way" and " Man from Utopia". Obscure but SO 80 s: (Ornette Colman bassist( Jamaldeen Tacuma's " Show Stopper".
I suspect the Broadway the Hard Way cover was a nod to Zappa's appearance on Miami Vice.
All Madonna’s from the 80s. Great episode!
The Rick Medlocke and Blackfoot album from 1987. Medlocke, looks like David Lee Roth's long-lost brother on the cover.
Starship - No Protection, the black and white shots on the back cover are better. They used those for the It's Not Over Till It's Over picture sleeve too.
Jefferson Airplane - 1989 Self Titled, Grace Slick looks like Elaine from Seinfeld.
Henry Lee Summer's hit song was I Wish I Had a Girl
Good show really enjoyed it should have looked up some stuff to put on but too much fun watching
Kane Roberts was a lead guitar player for Alice Cooper.
The covers (Skunk/4us) of the Dutch band Doe Maar. Man it was like they invented the color combination of pink and green.
They were huge in The Netherland and their look/asthetic had a big impact over here in the early 80's. Not my cup of tea but pretty good reaggea ska punk pop.
Every one of Tim Feehan's 1980s albums...
Scandal The Warrior, The Motels Shock and
ELO Balance of Power.
Blondie - The Hunter
Yes - 90125 and Big Generator
Neil Young - Trans
Dennis DeYoung - Desert Moon
The Who - It's Hard
Gamma - 3
Van Zant - Van Zant
TNT - Knights of the New Thunder
Night Ranger - Big Life
So many I thought of was mentioned. To add a few more:
Roger Waters - Radio K. A. O. S.
REO Speedwagon - Life As We Know It
Jefferson Starship - Modern Times
Earth, Wind and Fire - Electric Universe
The Moody Blues - The Other Side of Life
Good one, Jame. That Kenny G album cover makes Billy Squier look masculine. The 80s album covers that come to mind now are:
Most of INXS' covers before Listen Like Thieves
Mr. Mister - Welcome to the Real World
Most Duran Duran albums (Especially Rio)
Wham - Fantastic, Make It Big, Music From the Edge of Heaven
Journey - Escape
Robert Plant's first three albums (Especially Shaken-n-Stirred)
Def Leppard's first three albums (Especially All Through the Night)
Outfield - Play Deep (I was thinking about that one too!)
U2 - October
Great show guys, some great choices! I waited until the end to push enter with my choices, figured no one would pick Platinum Blonde, it was my first choice! lol Great pick Grant, I'm keeping it on my list! lol Here is a some of mine, some of which I love the album and even like the covers but definitely dated to the 80's.
Platinum Blonde - Alien Shores ( 1985 )
Thompson Twins - Into the Gap ( 1984 )
Helix - Long Way to Heaven ( 1985 )
Men Without Hats - Pop Goes the World ( 1987 )
David Lee Roth - Crazy From The Heat ( 1985 )
Jermaine Jackson - Let Me Tickle Your Fancy ( 1982 )
Poison - Look What The Cat Dragged In ( 1986 )
A Flock of Seagulls - Dream Come True ( 1986 )

Twisted Sister - Under the Blade ( 1982 )
King Diamond - Conspiracy ( 1989 )
Devo - Oh No!, it's Devo ( 1982 )
etc etc etc.
Kiss - Asylum, Cheap Trick - The Doctor and Motley Crue - Theater of Pain were the first ones that popped in my mind.
I have the four POVs posted on my room at school. Persistence of Vision, Pillar of Virtue, Price of Victory, Point of View.
No wonder Pat Metheny dislikes Kenny G 😂
My pick, anything by Nitro
the Janet Jackson singles from "Control", Jesse Johnson's Revue S/T and "Shockadelica", and of course, "Theatre of Pain"
Ramones - Pleasant Dreams
Dokken under lock and key
George Harrison Cloud Nine
You guys should do a funny album arts/covers one.
I love billy squires early music, but i want to believe Rock me tonight video ruined his career, even if it didnt, cuz its so hilarous. . I never get sick of it. Im gonna watch it now, just to crack up again. Classic
I love those two Piper albums! Great stuff!
Huey Lewis and the News - Sports, Dixie Dregs - Free Fall
All the Grim Reaper and Angel Witch album covers from the 80’s
im convinced all the live performances - in spinal tap were based on grim reapers see you in hell video lol
just an fyi, richard marx RULES!!!!!!
Excellent songwriter, his album Rush Street (1991) borders on heavy metal on some tracks...
he's a legend, sure the record company pushed the ballads but he's made some quality records. he's ventured a little too far into current pop trends on some of his recent records but overall he's had a great career!!@@LarryFleetwood8675
J. Geils Band Your Getting Even, I’m Getting Odd.
Supertramp: Brother Where You Bound
Yes: 90125
I don't know if this is the worst album cover of all time or one that is just dated to the eighties or both you decide: Pop Goes The World by Men Without Hats.
OH MY THE FASHION WAS HORRIBLE ITS SO FUNNY
Until it comes around again and everybody thinks it's just brilliant!
