@TheMetalDog@bstrange Loads of great non metal released in 1984, too, including two of the most fun songs I know ... "Girls With Guns" and "Run Runaway."
Also a good year for Canadians. Honeymoon Suite's debut came out in 1984, as well as Triumph's Thunder Seven, Bryan Adams's Reckless and Kim Mitchell's Akimbo Alogo. Been 40 years and I still haven't mastered the opening riff to "Go For Soda."
