Someone must have gotten confused. Master of Puppets didn't come out until 1986.

1984 was a good year. Many drunken nights attempting to separate sorority girls from their panties. On a personal level, would actually make the top 2 or 3 years of the throbber's lifetime.

Praise be to WHAM for Careless Whisper....go-to panty dropping slow dance tune of that era.

Sometimes it was even someone else's panties.

Coffee is for closers.

1965 is the greatest year in music history. 2nd place is probably a 4 way tie between 66, 67, 69 and 71.

Coach Huff disagrees.

All things considered, 1984 is the greatest year ever in pop culture

It’s the greatest year in UW sports history. Plus Reagan landslide.

Pretty sure The Cult Love tour was in 85 or 86... I saw it live in Seattle.

That tops anything that happened in 1984.

I was at that Paramount show, too! It was May of 1986....my freshman year @ Udub.
The Phoenix was the best song live from The Love Tour.

For jazz the year was 1959. Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, Dave Brubeck's Time Out and John Coltrane's Giant Steps.

But only Yella and I would care about that.

I still have my Electric poster rolled up in the garage somewhere. Does anyone here own that black boxed set the Cult put out years ago?

Love and Electric are both good albums. I saw the Cult twice - once they were opening for Metallica in 1989, and then I saw them when they did the Electric 13 tour. They put on a great live show. Having Metallica come on after you is a good way to look like a half-assed shit band, but they held their own as I recall.

My buddy and I saw the Cult in the Arena early in the show Ian tossed his tambourine into the crowd. My buddy got his mitts on it, as did three or four others.

A tug of war scrum began. Instead of helping win the instrument, I kept the second band of would be tuffs off my friend, who gave me shit later for not knocking the initial wave off the tambourine. CSB
