Vision Quest Soundtrack (1985): Track by Track with 3 Bonus Tracks!
Surely You Can't Be Serious PodcastShow Notes
This week, Jason and Dee kick off the first round of an epic soundtrack battle as they put the 1985 Vision Questsoundtrack under the microscope. Featuring an eclectic mix of forgotten gems, future classics, exclusive soundtrack cuts, and a few songs that deserved far more attention, this album is much more than just a companion to the movie.
Track by track, the guys explore contributions from Madonna, Journey, Sammy Hagar, Don Henley, The Style Council, Red Rider, Foreigner, Dio, and more, uncovering the stories behind the music and debating which songs still hit nearly 40 years later.
But they're not stopping there. As a bonus, Jason and Dee also break down the three memorable songs featured in the film that didn't make the official soundtrack album, asking whether they should have replaced some of the tracks that did.
Does Vision Quest deserve a spot among the greatest movie soundtracks of the 1980s? And can it survive next week's head-to-head showdown against the legendary 1986 Pretty in Pink soundtrack?
Cue up the cassette, press play, and let the soundtrack battle begin.
