Alright, imagine it's June 1984...The nights are full of questionable weekend decisions, music cranking out of the backs of cars, and probably forgotten mornings. We dive into the glorious chaos of '80s rock with the relisten of these gems.

We're tackling Megadeth's Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! (said in Dave's voice) Then there's Mötley Crüe's Theatre of Pain. And finally, the slick and utterly captivating Ratt's Invasion of Your Privacy.

We will determine if these iconic albums still hold up, or if they're just a relic of a time when MTV played music videos and "rock star" was a viable career path for anyone with a guitar and a questionable liver.

Alright, buckle up, rock fans! Forty years ago, 1985 unleashed some serious hair! We had Night Ranger, seasoned pros on their "7 Wishes" tour – probably wishing for less hairspray and more encores.

Then came Stryper, "Soldiers Under Command," boldly going where no bumblebee-themed band had gone before. Were their guitar picks blessed?

And let's not forget White Lion, fresh out of the den with "Fight to Survive." Talk about a "mane" event waiting to happen!

Do these 80s gems still rock, or are they just a "Memory" of big hair and bigger ballads? The "Say What You Will Podcast" is figuring it out!

This month, we review rock albums from April 1985 to see if they still shred or should’ve stayed on cassette. Expect hot takes, big riffs, and bigger opinions—because while we’re definitely not professionals, we are passionate… and maybe a little tone-deaf.

Dennis, Mark, and Derek talk with renowned rock journalist Steve Rosen, who has contributed to Guitar World and Guitar Player and is the author of the fantastic book Tonechaser. In this podcast episode, Steve shares his journey in rock journalism and recounts his first meeting with Edward in 1977. We take a slightly different approach to discussing the book, leading to some engaging conversation points with Steve.
