Hey! Remember the 80's?
Join your hosts, Joe Christopher and Kari Race, as they discuss all the outrageous hits, and those deeper hits, from the 80's! Which songs still hold up today, which songs should be left in the 80's, and which ones are hidden gems? We'll cover the well-known hits from the decade (Ghostbusters, anyone?), and even songs that you haven't heard in 30 years (paging Karla Bonoff). Dust off your Members Only jacket, crack open a Pepsi Free, and join us for segments like "Just a Bit Outside" and "Coming Around Again" and more! Chime in on Facebook at www.facebook.com/hrt80s or on Twitter @hrt80s.
Hey! Remember the 80's?
Episode 272 - Billboard Flashback
Join Kari and Joe for a journey through the March 16, 1985 issue of Billboard. You opera fans who've been waiting 272 episodes for a mention of Madame Butterfly are in luck! Then, get ready to hear about wild 80s personalities like Doctor G and Lee Abrams, before partying out of bounds with WLIR and getting an invitation to dance with a chart triple threat.
We're also going just a bit outside with entries from Welsh rockers that would later become electronic superstars, California bros who were still cruisin well past their curfew, and a teen star that wanted to grow up fast.
