This will permanently be a classic episode. Sometimes I wish we could have at least 3 Hudson valley squares episodes every week and no other content. The staff on your shows all have their own perfect unique personalities. Butch is a fucking trip. Every episode with him on is a for sure classic!

best show in a while. the squares are back. 🙂it's not a party without the girls.🤗

I'm from Poland and I just couldn't believe my ears and eyes. KAT is an amazing band and our country's pride. If you check out the album Bastard you'll get your socks blown clean off. Great music.

2:01 The episode not even started and I was all over the floor... Karen is such a addition to the show... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow, Lynne with the surprises this week in her honorable mentions. The Cure, The Smiths and Elvis Costello! Nice! Never thought I'd hear those three artists mentioned in a row on a Hudson Valley Squares episode.

This show was a stone groove my people, you are the most righteous! Great show and love the Trading Places quotes!

I can’t believe that Ryan mentioned KAT ❤❤❤. That was so cool 😊

Hilarious show! You guys are great, your show brought back some fond memories of the 80s , good times 👍

You've topped them all with this episode. I laughed out loud around 8 times. Karen and Lynne are so awesome and since Craig, Rob and Ralph have become regulars joining Butch, Ryan and the mighty Pete Pardo, this was the best HVS ever. Killer topic and lots of laughs.

My first comment on this show, Just wanted to say Love Lynne!!! Love this show I never miss it. Keep up the great work Pete and Co, I'm from New Zealand!! Just wanted to say love love love Yngwie Malmsteen - Trilogy Album my favourate of that year in Metal. Great to see the passion from you guys and girls keep going!!

I’ve watched every single episode of the Hudson Valley Squares and pretty much all panel shows on Sea of Tranquility and this is the funniest, wildest most brilliant episode of them all. Out loud laughing throughout wouldn’t have cared if it had gone on for three hours. Loved every second of it. A credit to you all. The most entertaining thing in television. Chef’s kiss good. Thanks all Hope to see some of you in Middletown October next year all the way from Perth Australia

This episode was Classic 🤙🏽

This was my favorite episode you guys have done. Love it

Never thought I'd hear Dayglow Abortions on here, I've got that vinyl the artwork is wicked and it's a fun heavy album. That Whiplash show must have been awesome, they are pretty brutal I love that Power and Pain album with the goofy drawing on cover 100% authentic NJ thrash!

Funny that Dayglo Abortions were mentionned. I'm actually going to see them play on the 1st (next week) 🤘 in a tacky little bar here in Trois-Rivières (Qc).

Fun show this week, very enjoyable! Manilla Road - The Deluge Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus Crimson Glory - Crimson Glory Iron Maiden - Somewhere in Time (favourite Maiden album) Fates Warning - Awaken The Guardian Honourable mentions to Tankard - Zombie Attack, Cirith Ungol - One Foot in Hell, and Flotsam and Jetsam - Doomsday for the Deceiver!

Some that weren't mention but still worth it. Heir Apparent - Graceful Inheritance. Crimson Glory - Crimson Glory

the masculine feminine dynamic of butch johns and lynn versaci is for me reminiscent of certain romantic comedy movies of tom hanks and meg ryan 💞💕

Great pick with Bangles, Ryan! They are one of the best US bands of the 80s, and their debut album All Over The Place is one of the decade’s best.

Hilarious episode of course! Great to see Lynne back!

i agree with Robert in that Rage for Order is the best Queensryche album. Operation: Mindcrime was perfect for the time, but i feel RfO still stands up best to this day with The Warning being a close second. Blasphemy to my 16 year old self, but time changes everything. Great show tonight!

Here’s my top 5 of 1986 Candy Apple Grey- Husker Du November Coming Fire- Samhain Age Of Quarrel- Cro Mags Brighter Than A Thousand Suns- Killing Joke I Against I- Bad Brains

Messiah - Hymn to Abramelin Sepultura - Morbid visions Tankard - Zombie attack Exumer - Possessed by fire Dark angel - Darkness descends

Peter Gabriel So is my favourite 86 album - other than many which have already been mentioned. I also dig Toto Fahrenheit, I actually prefer it over Isolation and even The Seventh one. Might be contrarian but I ignored it for years same as Kingdom of Desire and both are tied for my second favourite Toto album (after the debut)

Karen for the win, Just Screw Allready 🤣🤣🤣

7th ave is my favourite Ratt song off a very underrated album. Great pic, Butch!

Trilogy by Yngwie. This is at his peak of his shredding skills.

This was easily one of the funniest and most unhinged HVS episodes we’ve had in a while.

Great ep. No one has mentioned Racer X - Street Lethal so I gotta. Awesome record. Rage For Order is my favorite though and maybe fav record of all time. Edit: Butch mentioned Racer! Thanks 🙏🏻

I had to go online and look up album releases of 1986. There is so much I don't even remember. Orgasmatron is my favorite rock album from that year. I did get a smiley when I saw the Luther Vandross Give Me the Reason album. Stop to Love was one of the few r&b/soul/pop songs I liked that year. I think it was the way they sang celebrate in the song. 😆

Butch was on point with the Arrested Development reference!!! Always think of GOB! :D

1. W.A.S.P.: Inside the Electric Circus 2. Ozzy Osbourne: The Ultimate Sin 3. King Diamond: Fatal Portrait 4. Richard Thompson: Daring Adventures 5. Cinderella: Night Songs

On the next The Hudson Valley Squares I want to see Lynne wear that outfit from The Ultimate SIn. 😍

1. Metallica - Master of Puppets 2. Queensryche - Rage for Order 3. Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time 4. Megadeth - Peace Sells But Who's Buying? 5. Accept - Russian Roulette 6. Ozzy Osbourne - The Ultimate Sin 7. Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus 8. Samhain - November-Coming-Fire 9. Crimson Glory - Crimson Glory 10. Fates Warning - Awaken The Guardian Honorable mentions: 11. King Diamond - Fatal Portrait 12. Slayer - Reign In Blood 13. Black Sabbath - Seventh Star 14. Misfits - Misfits 15. Jack Starr's Burning Starr - No Turning Back 16. Racer X - Street Lethal 17. Sword - Metalized 18. Judas Priest - Turbo 19. Saxon - Rock The Nations 20. Savatage - Fight for The Rock

I saw the megadeth king diamond tour in Cleveland. we were first in line waiting.gar Samuelson came out bummed a cigarette from me, asked If I had anything else to smoke and took me and my friends to the backstage door smoked three joints with me and my friends took a roll of film with me and my friends.still have the photos

Fresh off the favorite hard rock/metal albums of the 80's segment that Pete is doing this month, I can grab Cinderella's Night Songs- which I believe was my first choice of the month, and climbed up the ranks for having one of my all-time favorite guitar tones on a classic Motley Crue + AC/DC hybrid. Coincidentally, Manilla Road made my top 10 with Open the Gates today and now I can pick another masterpiece of theirs- 1986's The Deluge. Shadows in the Black gives me the heebie jeebies and I'm deeply in love with the shred on this album. One of the most impressive drummers I've heard in my life in a power trio that sounds like a legion. This gets a lot of listens during the rainy season. For my #3 pick of 1986 I'm throwing a curve ball with The Final Frontier by Keel. Not even sure if it's gonna stay that way years from now, but it's a hard rock album from an overlooked band that I first listened to in my teens and one that I've been revisiting a lot in recent years. The debut is arguably heavier, but this one's a delight. Here Today, Gone Tomorrow and others songs like Arm and a Leg, No Pain No Gain and Rock n' Roll Animal are really satisfying. I might've slipped in the past that 5150 was my favorite Van Halen record, despite backlash from Sammy haters. Then there's Judas Priest's Turbo, Megadeth's Peace Sells, Metallica's Master of Puppets, Iron Maiden's Somewhere in Time, Queensryche's Rage for Order, The Ultimate Sin by Ozzy (featuring a Jake E. Lee tour de force) and the phenomenal Tesla debut. All records I enjoy quite a bit. I'm leaving on a cliffhanger so as not to spoil which of these is gonna make my top 10 of the 80's. I'll be writing my usual verbose and excessive paragraphs about those in a few days.

Fates Warning - awaken the guardian Candlemass - Epicus doomicus metallicus Queensryche - rage for order Manilla Road - Deluge Iron Maiden - Somewhere in time

When I was 13 in 1986 my top 5 would have been: Metallica - Master, Slayer - Reign, Destruction - Eternal Devastation, Voivod - Rooar, Kreator - Pleasure to Kill

Great & Fun episode hehe. My Top 5 from 86 1. Metallica : Master of Puppets 2. Sword : Metalized 3. Cinderella : Night Songs 4. Queensryche : Rage for Order 5. Lizzy Borden : Menace to Society

I did indeed see Slayer/Motorhead/Overkill tour in Montreal (Verdun Auditorium) in 1987.

Agree with Butch regarding Loudness. Akiras guitar tone on Thunder and Lightning is out of this world!

Reign in Blood & Master of Puppets...There's no way around those 2 for me. Ozzy's Ultimate Sin was a big deal for me too, as a more "traditional" record for the time. Cheers.

The song F**k Off and Die from RRROOOAAARRR is about Metal Blade (Bryan S.). They were very unhappy with Bryan at the time. In 1986, definitely the key albums from Slayer, Kreator, Nuclear Assault, Dark Angel, Destruction Sepultura, and Sodom

Great year 1. Metallica Master of Puppets 2. Van Halen 5150 3. Tesla Mechanical Resonance 4. Boston Third Stages 5. Megadeth Peace Sells but who’s buying Honorable mentions: Iron Maiden Somewhere in time David Lee Roth Eat Em’ & Smile Cinderella Night Songs Ozzy Osbourne Ultimate Sin
