Down for the Count is the seventh studio album by American heavy metal band Y&T, released in 1985 through A&M Records. The album marks the band's change to a lighter sound to find success in the hair metal scene.[2] It contains the band's biggest hit "Summertime Girls", which charted at #55 on the Billboard Hot 100. This song had initially appeared as the lone studio track on the band's live album, Open Fire, released earlier in the year. The album itself peaked at #91 on the Billboard 200 on December 14, 1985. This was the last album to feature the original lineup of Meniketti, Alves, Kennemore and Haze, as Haze would depart the following year.
AllMusic reviewer Eduardo Rivadavia gave the album two stars out of five, and criticized the band for "[joining] the perm-haired masses then issuing like dandruff out of the California dust to redefine the meaning of the word "dumb".[1]
