An Asylum Podcast Pop-Culture Retrospective: 1985

Dateline – The Asylum. The Year… 1985. With 1983 and 1984 being such “powerhouses” in music, 1985 had much to live up to. One of the Kousins (privately) called it “meh” compared to the previous two.  There are some landmark albums from 1985. Some represent the biggest or perhaps most widely known in some artists’ careers. It may not be the most remarkable year in music, but it didn’t stink. Not that anyone said it did. In addition to all the great music, not just hard rock but pop, alternative, and post-punk, the Kousins take on a snippet in time and talk about what 1985 meant to them. Not only is music on the menu for the Kousins, but they also talk about movies, television, sports, and even video games. No “Now Listenings” because there was a lot of music to go through. Calls from Jim From Irwin, Jem From Alabama, Eugene B Sims, Bruno From Sunny South Africa, and a special call from DAC. What was your favorite albums from 1985? What was going on with you in 1985?
