ROCK PLANET

1984

Und auch das Jahr 1984 brachte eine Menge toller Alben zum Vorschein. Zudem betraten ein paar neue Bands die Bühne und sollten sich über die Jahre hinweg Kultstatus erspielen: Queensryche, Warlock, W.A.S.P., Trouble, New Model Army ... was Debütalben anbelangte war das ein extrem starker Jahrgang.
Auf Platz 1 schaffte es jedoch eine Band, die bei mir schon seit ihrem grandiosen "Eye of the Tiger"-Album eine vorherrschende Rolle spielte und nun mit "Vital Signs" ihre - meiner Meinung nach - beste Scheibe ablieferte: SURIVOR. Da hatten selbst Metallica und Maiden keine Chance gegen.

1984 war

für mich zweimal, nein sogar dreimal, Neuanfang bzw. Veränderung - privat, beruflich (ohne Details) und nebenberuflich (hab aufgehört, als DJ nebenher zu arbeiten).
