    The vintage strat sitting idle, in a safe pla ce gaining value. Pup plays mostly lap steel these days.

    Pup enjoys Segovia and Parkening one day... old-school country the next...rockabilly the next. Pup listens to a lot of music fer fucks sake

    Learning To Crawl - The Pretenders
    Really hard to vote against Hot For Teacher...Saw Pretenders in 84...my GF’s favorite, got ticks, she couldn’t get off work, so I took some freshman sorority chick...fabulous concert, better post-game...CSB...not much of an evening in Pup terms, but one can aspire...

    My City Was Gone is the GOAT of right winger hijacking a lefties chit.

    He worked out a deal with Chrissie Hynd to pay a shitload of money every year to an animal rights organization to use that song.

    Learning to Crawl also covered this song righteously...

    I’m not a huge Van Halen phanboi. That is an objectively great album.

    Unforgettable Fire & Ride the Lightning close & tied second. I’d forgotten “Bad” was on UFire, love that song.

    Perfect album. No filler, here.

    Any one of pups many unmemorable nights out would be a signature win of a lifetime for you boofies. Ive stuffed the weenie in a ''curvy' chick's chops a few times over the years....that would be a conquest of of a lifetime for any one of yous, in your imaginations of course.

    Ok guys, re-lube your palms...Picture that middle finger in ms Aruba's ass. Pup is so good he can soil a pucker. Slow down J, dont squirt yet. Pup finished the blow with Isabella and actually sunk the weenie in her the 2nd time around, but in her butt. Still never cheated in my mind. Same...didnt smell the shit like I have most often after a good poundins to the penny. Ok J, let er fly
    It was a long time ago, but one thing cannot be disputed...she wasn’t “curvy”, yet...

    No I'm not voting for Dokken.

    I remember laughing when someone told me this guy named Dio was amazing and I kept laughing through about the first 40 seconds of "The Last In Line". No more laughing; dude was incredible. But no, not him either.

    And, there's at least a couple songs on Heartbeat City I could do without, but "Drive", "Magic", and "You Might Think" were all big, and each has stood the test of time. So I think my vote still goes for The Cars.

    side note, have you ever seen Cyndi Lauper's first appearance on The Tonight Show in March '84? I had heard "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" plenty of times by then, starting late '83, but this was the first time I ever heard "Time After Time" and I remember thinking this chick is funny, smart, and a hell of a performer - there's a grainy 17 minute Youtube video easily found.

    Tim after Tim is a really good song.

    and, since I'm apparently on 80's power ballad sing-alongs right now, Agent Provocateur was released in December '84, so it counts.

    Huff the Lightning is right on par with Master of Puppets. The latter is just a touch better.

    Rather easily. And not really one of their top-3 albums.

    People that hate the synths on 1984 can fuck the fuck off.
    Eh. I always thought Jump was their lamest hit this side of Dance the Night Away. I'm more of a Hot for Teacher kind of guy.

    Any album with Panama on it is a big time winner

    Hard agree. I can see why 1984 would win here. It's not better than Ride, but it was the "fun" hard rock album of the middle 80's, and half this bored got laid to Panama. Probably not as many got laid to Creeping Death. I got laid to both, of course. And no, you can't have his name.

    Johnny Marr’s ‘jangly’ guitar work swayed my vote.

    Debated 1984 and Ride the Huffning. Three bid year IMO.
