Best Album of 1985

[TeleCat]

Yeah, I was surprised to see Chris Slade behind the drum kit when I saw AC/DC on The Razor's Edge tour (in Koln Germany, the day after returning from Desert Storm-what a homecoming ). Tony Franklin hooked up with John Sykes and Carmine Appice in Blue Murder after his Firm days. I always thought he was a very original bassist the way he would use a lot of slides and vibrato. Mean Business wasn't bad either. I saw them on the first tour and had tickets for the Mean Business tour but Paul Rodgers broke his leg and that tour was cancelled.

^^I could agree with Dire Straits, and then John Mellencamp next. Tom Waits, not a fan and never will be of his....music.

Misplaced Childhood by Marillion is pretty decent. Marillion are bewitching, Fish is great.
