Survivor "Vital Signs" (1984): Track by Track!

This week, Jason and Dee crank up the volume and take you back to 1984 as they dive deep into Survivor’s multi-platinum classic “Vital Signs.” Track by track, they uncover the stories behind the songs, the lineup changes, and the simmering drama that shaped one of the 80s’ most iconic bands. Along the way, they chart the band’s pop-culture footprint — from heart-pounding training montages in Rocky III and Rocky IV to unforgettable anthems in The Karate Kid.But it’s not just nostalgia. Jason and Dee debate the album’s lasting influence, the genius behind its production, and ultimately square off with a question every 80s music fan has asked: which album truly defines the era — Survivor’s “Vital Signs” or Chicago’s “17”? Strap in for stories, trivia, and more than a few surprises in this high-energy trip through one of the decade’s defining records.
