Can’t Get There From Here: The Summer of 1985
Jun 28, 2021
Another summer of formative music for me… You got your REM, your Dead Milkmen, Husker Du, Talking Heads, Eddie Murphy, etc, etc. I honestly can’t say right now which of these songs I was into at the time. But I know one thing for sure – and this project has forced me to come to terms with this fact – I just don’t like Megadeth. Their seminal album “Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying” was released in the summer of 1985 and I felt pressure to include one of the tracks in this playlist but… That voice. I just can’t with Dave Mustaine’s nasal whininess.
So, please enjoy this Megadeth-free “mixtape”:
