Dave and Milt revisit the rock chart for the week ending Oct. 6, 1984âafter initially and repeatedly calling it 1983 and later admitting the error. After banter about ice cream habits, a contrived Willy Wonka competition show, and brief history/pop-culture notes (Richard Nobleâs 633 mph âThrust 2â land-speed record, Carl Yastrzemskiâs final at-bat, Lech WaĹÄsaâs Nobel Prize, The Big Chill, and AfterMASH), they count down the rock Top 10: Krokus âMidnite Maniac,â Billy Idol âFlesh for Fantasy,â Survivor âI Canât Hold Back,â Honeymoon Suite âNew Girl Now,â U2 âPride (In the Name of Love),â Lindsey Buckingham âGo Insane,â Bruce Springsteen âCover Me,â David Bowie âBlue Jean,â The Fixx âAre We Ourselves,â and John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band âOn the Dark Side.â They discuss trivia (Miami Vice placement, Bowieâs Jazzinâ for Blue Jean film, Bono lyric correction, Springsteen dance remix), play a âblue/bluesâ quiz, pick U2 as winner, and swap out Survivor and Buckingham for Twisted Sister âI Wanna Rockâ and KISS âHeavenâs on Fire,â then plug social channels and a future âFreedom Rockâ episode invite.
