<p>I really enjoy this series. <br></br>It's a great comparison to what I thought is essential to someone else's purchasing habit.</p>
<p>For example, here is what I got out of it so far.<br></br>1985 was a terrible year for me in all of its aspects (as we established in my previous reply), and the music part wasn't spared of that experience either.

<p>I really enjoy this series. <br/>It's a great comparison to what I thought is essential to someone else's purchasing habit.</p>
<p>For example, here is what I got out of it so far.<br/>1985 was a terrible year for me in all of its aspects (as we established in my previous reply), and the music part wasn't spared of that experience either. I did sort part of my CD collection by Year. (Not recommending it to anyone). So, I can tell you that, 1985 has fewer CDs in my grouping than any other year in the '80s. Whereas you posted more releases than for '84 or '86. Hmm, interesting. Also, while you went wide in range of music styles, we didn't have much in common. Perhaps, because of it.</p>
<p>Contrary to 1985, you reduced the number of your entries for 1986 and focused them a lot closer to my "liking". Hmm again. I'm really looking forward to 1987. I mean sooner or later, I expect the road to our collections are going to split drastically, but for now, we are "on the same page".</p>
<p>Again, there are few albums, I'm not familiar with in their entirety, but at least I heard a few songs from all of them, and know the artists. And here is my ranking of the albums I don't own anymore, (or perhaps I never did), but I have listened to them at one point in time and I'll try to reflect on my memory to rank them accordingly:</p>
<p>1. Bon Jovi - <span>Slippery When Wet<br/></span><span>2. Honeymoon Suite - The Big Prize<br/></span><span>3. Boston - Third Stage<br/></span><span>4. Metallica - Master Of Puppets<br/></span><span>5. W.A.S.P. - Inside The Electric Circus<br/></span><span>6. Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who’s Buying?</span></p>

<p>Brief Thoughts: This album didn’t perform all that well. But I still think it’s pretty good. Dance is really good as are the non-charting singles Slip of the Lip and Body Talk. The production is good as well. One side note, I thought for many years that Way Cool Jr. was from this album, but I was wrong. For what it’s worth, I don’t like that song.</p>

<p>I Wasn’t Born Yesterday</p>
<p>Brief Thoughts: This was Daryl Hall’s second solo album. Everyone remembers Dreamtime as it was quite a hit. But I don’t remember the second single Foolish Pride at all. I also don’t remember Someone Like You being played on the radio, but that is now in my top five for songs that he has written. This version is not my favorite though. That would be the live version from VH1 Behind The Music. Other than that, this one sorta fades to the background for me.</p>

<p>Brief Thoughts: I do like this album better than the debut, but I still feel like Dave was trying to find his voice. The opening bass riff to Peace Sells is quite cool and I do believe it was used by MTV as the intro to their news bit. Other than that, the album still lacks something that got me into them.</p>

<p>Brief Thoughts: As history would tell us, Slippery When Wet put Bon Jovi on the map. It was huge. Sold huge. Two huge singles. Just huge. Wanted Dead Or Alive is a terrific rock song. I even like the sappy Never Say Goodbye. But the funny thing is, I never reach for this to play anymore. I would reach for 7800 or These Days if I was wanting to spin Bon Jovi. Strange.</p>

<p>You Don’t Remember, I’ll Never Forget<br/>Liar<br/>Queen In Love</p>
<p>Brief Thoughts: I am not a huge fan of pure shredding. I typically prefer melodic playing, like that of Neal Schon. But there is no argument as far as Malmsteen’s ability. You Don’t Remember, I’ll Never Forget and Queen In Love received substantial airplay on MTV. You may not remember that, but I will never forget it. They are both excellent songs. Nothing bad at all here, but those two songs stand above the others for me.</p>
