Down for the Count is the seventh studio album by American hard rock/heavy metal band Y&T, released in 1985 through A&M Records. 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.
