Growin' Up Rock

We’re keeping the 1986 nostalgia train rolling by spotlighting six songs each that just don’t measure up—even though the albums they came from totally do. It’s proof that great albums can still have clunkers, and that “Desert Island Albums” are rarer than we think. Expect surprises, debates, and plenty of ’86 music memories. WE NEED YOUR HELP!!
