Stevie Ray Vaughan

It may have been harder to find, but those keeping the blues alive in rock in the '80s were doing it well.

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?

The '80s were filled with artists finding ways to pair up and breaking down genre barriers in the process.

These acts truly shook things up when they took the stage!

'Where's the beef?' Right here, as 1984 was stacked with great music.

Who needs to moonwalk when you can just rock?

An absolutely insane amount of great music.

Mike McCready was about to quit music before bluesman changed his mind.
