Some bands did not fit the hair metal mold, but played along convincingly enough for at least one album.

It's only fitting that we share with you the best rock songs of 1985 the way we did it back then .... with a mixtape.

It's now a half century since these records first started blasting our earbuds. Let's celebrate these records from 1975!

Well that's rad. These 31 rock and metal albums have hit the four decade mark. How many of these 1985 records have you listened to?

Try picking only 25 rock + metal albums from each decade that you would want to ensure your kids listened to. It's a harder exercise than you might think.

There are lots of anniversaries to celebrate with Scorpions, Our Lady Peace and Silverstein all planning special commemorative tours.
