In this video I talk about the first record I ever bought with my own money — The Big Prize by Honeymoon Suite. Released in 1986, this album became a huge part of my early music journey and helped shape my love for rock music. And Ryan joined me to add his perspective as a massive Honeymoon Suite fan.
We share the story of how we first discovered the album, and why it meant so much at the time. We also go track-by-track through the record and talk about the songs that made The Big Prize such a memorable album, while also RANKING the songs from #10 to #1.
If you grew up with 80s rock, you might remember classics like “Feel It Again,” “What Does It Take,” and “Bad Attitude.” Check out the video and find out what other songs you need to know from The Big Prize.
