'Eye of the Tiger' Trends For The Wrong Reasons

So "Eye of the Tiger" was trending earlier today, presumably because Nikki Haley announced her run for President. So she used the song at a campaign rally, just like so many other politicians before her. So whatever. The song should be trending because it is flat awesome - and the album of the same name is too, from one track to the next.

I found a copy of Survivor's Eye of the Tiger on vinyl a couple weeks ago at a local antique store. The vinyl is in really great condition and it was like $12.

I feel like Eye of the Tiger has one of the best covers ever, especially if you love the Cincinnati Bengals like me! The cover looks like it could hang in Paycor stadium for goodness sakes. Plus, Eye of the Tiger is severely underrated as an album. Yes, the title single is amazing. I mean, it was used in Rocky for goodness sakes! So many of the songs on Eye of the Tiger are filled with great hooks. Yes there are synthesizers that some would say make the album dated, but these sort of make me love the songs even more. Songs like "Children of the Night" are classic to me.
