1985 was an incredible year for music (and we'll look back at some more of these soon)...the year that saw chart topping songs like "We Are the World" and "Shout", "Take On Me" and "Better Be Good to Me", "Material Girl" and "Money for Nothing"....the year we lost legends like Roger Sessions and Big Joe Turner, and future legends were born like Lana Del Rey and Bruno Mars and J. Cole....the birth of bands like Guns-n-Roses and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the death of bands Pink Floyd and Van Halen (both of whom continued with new singers)...the year of "Brothers in Arms" by Dire Straits, Whitney Houston's debut album, and "No Jacket Required" by Phil Collins dominated the charts....the year of debut albums from supergroup The Highwaymen, LL Cool J, Fine Young Cannibals, jazz guitar legend Stanley Jordan, pop band a-ha, Megadeth, George Strait, Simply Red, Leni Stern, Schooly D, Suzanne Vega, and others.....and so much more!
Today, however, we'll look back at the masterpiece from Sting: His debut solo album, "Dream of the Blue Turtles".
