1985: Rush, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, Robert Plant & More | The Album Years (Part 2)

In the second part of our deep dive into 1985, we discuss which established artists stayed relevant and which ones struggled to adapt to the new musical landscapes of the 1980s. Amongst those discussed are podcast favourites Joni Mitchell, Roy Harper and Miles Davis, while the zeitgeist conscious guises adopted by Rush and Robert Plant also go under the microscope. Meanwhile, Brian Eno continued to innovate by creating the very first album made specifically for the shiny new compact disc format. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:00:18 Robert Wyatt - Old Rottenhat 00:01:03 Brian Eno - Thursday Afternoon 00:04:20 Pete Townshend - White City: A Novel 00:06:15 American Music Club - The Restless Stranger 00:07:29 Roy Harper & Jimmy Page - Whatever Happened To Jugula? 00:12:45 John Cale - Artificial Intelligence / Nico The Faction - Camera Obscura 00:19:26 Miles Davis - You’re Under Arrest / Joni Mitchell - Dog Eat Dog 00:25:50 Rush - Power Windows 00:31:42 Robert Plant - Shaken ’n’ Stirred Listen to The Album Years on Spotify/Apple Podcasts: Check out The Album Years website:
