EP 36: RUSH, Saxon and Kix - albums in 1985. Do they hold up today?
Alright, history buffs and music fanatics, let's fire up the DeLorean and punch in "Summer of '85." The year is 2025, and we're looking back exactly 40 years to a time when mid-July meant blazing sun, sandy toes, and car stereos absolutely blaring. And what was on those stereos, you ask? A trio of albums that were practically stapled to every boombox and walkman: Kix's Midnight Dynamite, Rush's Power Windows, and Saxon's Innocence is No Excuse.
Now, four decades later, a burning question arises: were these albums genuinely good, timeless masterpieces that deserve their place in the rock 'n' roll hall of fame? Or, were we perhaps just a little too "hydrated" on those '85 beach days to truly discern musical genius from… well, good vibes? We're not here to judge (much), but one thing's for sure: they definitely laid down the soundtrack for a whole lot of summer shenanigans.
So, queue up your preferred streaming service, dust off those old cassettes, and decide for yourself. Were these the real deal, or just a symptom of peak '80s nostalgia?
We also reviewed the big Back To The Beginning concert and all the talent paying tribute to Black Sabbath...or was it Ozzy.
