1983 was a defining year for rock music, blending the power of arena rock, the rise of heavy metal, and the futuristic sounds of new wave. On The Big Fat American Rock Show, host Zach Martin takes listeners on a journey through the biggest rock anthems of the year, featuring Quiet Riot, Journey, Def Leppard, Judas Priest, Dio, ZZ Top, The Rolling Stones, Yes, Billy Idol, and Mötley Crüe.
From the hard-hitting energy of "Cum On Feel the Noize" and "Rock of Ages" to the metal mastery of "Holy Diver" and "Rainbow in the Dark", this episode captures the raw power, innovation, and spirit of '83. As rock ruled the airwaves, MTV changed the way we saw music, and pop culture saw Return of the Jedi, the first cell phones, and the dawn of the Nintendo era.
