Top 10 Rock Songs from the year 1984! With Peter Kerr of Rock Daydream Nation on Grab A Stack of Rock

GRAB A STACK OF ROCK With Mike and the Mad Metal Man
Episode 67: Top 10 Rock Songs from the year 1984 with Peter Kerr

We are back!  Following three weeks of chilling at the cottage, Grab A Stack of Rock returns with a roar, and a familiar face!

Peter Kerr of Rock Daydream Nation suggested this topic for his return to the show.  1984 was the year I got into rock music.  That coincided with MuchMusic’s premier in Canada.  All of a sudden, there were all these videos!  Kiss, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Helix…and I was there with my VCR, recording everything.  For me personally, this will be a list of nostalgia…but not entirely.  After all, it was Peter who got me into Prince in 2023.  It was Tim Durling and John the Music Nut who got me buying Y&T albums recently.  It remains to be see what will make my final list, because 1984 was a completely epic year for rock music.

Peter Kerr was last on the show back in May when we unboxed the new Arkells album.  An album on which they covered “Dancing in the Dark” by Springsteen…a song released in 1984.  (It’s like poetry; it rhymes!)  Who knows what will be picked?

If you join the show from the start, you will also catch some unboxings.  Don’t miss this show, live, as we always respond to your comments!

Friday August 16 at 7:00 P.M. E.S.T. / 8:00 P.M. Atlantic.   Enjoy on YouTube or on Facebook!

    1. I hope so Henry. I feel terribly unprepared. As you probably know, my wife is sick…I had to spend yesterday at home caring for her. My head is not in the right place right now, but the show MUST go on…I hate cancelling.

  2. This was a fun show to watch on a Saturday morning. Thank u!

    Wasp, Whitesnake and Dio would have been on my list too.
    And what about Saxon Crusader? Hanoi Rocks? Yngwie? BJ? No Helix? Twisted Sister?
    I just loved Queen’s Hammer to Fall.

    1. OH MAN! SEE? I LEFT SO MANY OFF!

      I could do two more shows on this, easily.

      Helix were left off for a reason, which is I am pretty burned out on those guys lately…they are kind of embarassing themselves, playing backyard BBQs and selling crappy 3D printed dolls. However they just announced a new “best of” CD coming this year with a new song on it.

      I thought Twisted was 83, I may be wrong?
