The 1985 Listening Post - Y&T - Down for the Count

Y&T - Down for the Count


#446/1081
November 9 1985
Y&T
Down for the Count
Genre: Rock
2.75 out of 5



Highlights:
Anytime At All


You know what killed Rock? People singing about how they have to Rock. 
Born to, in the name of, live for, etc. 
That said, this is the most energetic and fun Y&T offering. But it’s also a desperate attempt to mine the AC/DC vein. 
Like they really wanna play to a stadium filled with fist pumpers. So, what does it mean when your biggest sellout is also your most fun and accessible?
I don’t know. I know that I could cruise the California freeways with the top down in 1985, playing this on blast and feel like I owned the world.
