Featuring forgotten and overlooked new wave/powerpop music of the early to mid 80's.

    Forgotten 80's Vol 46: RPM- The Best Band You've Never Heard!

    Forgotten 80's Vol 46: RPM- The Best Band You've Never Heard!

    Why this group didn't hit it big in the 80's with this LP, "Phonongenic", I'll never know. The track "Man Overboard" should've been a huge hit, but basically no one ever heard it.

    Their record company failed to promote them properly, and they fell through the cracks.

    Band member Jimmy Lee Sloas went on to become a sought after studio bassist/producers, and worked with many artists in the country/rock/ and Christian industries, even forming his own band and releasing a CD. (Dogs Of Peace)


    The tracks featured are:

    01- Man Overboard
    02- Piece Of Glass
    03- The Curtain's Gonna Fall
    04- Head In The Sand

    01- Heaven

    Forgotten 80's Vol 44: Huang Chung

    Forgotten 80's Vol 44: Huang Chung

    Wang Chung's first album was recorded under the name "Huang Chung". They changed the spelling on subsequent albums.

    Their first album is hard to find on cd, but it's worth it if you can grab it. Some nice forgotten gems from the 80's.

    The songs included are:
    01- China
    02- Chinese Girls
    03- Hold Back The Tears
    04- Dancing

    Forgotten 80's Vol 43- Randy Bishop & The Underdogs

    Forgotten 80's Vol 43- Randy Bishop & The Underdogs

    A truly FORGOTTEN powerpop/rock gem from the 80's. I can't even find what this guy's up to now. It's such a common name, searching the net is fruitless! If you have any idea what he's up to now, send me an e-mail.

    This is a transfer from vinyl, not available on CD.

    The songs on this podcast are:

    01- Two Hearts On The Loose
    02- Underdog
    03- If I Was A Fool

    Forgotten 80's Volume 42- Before They Were The Cars..

    Before they were the Cars, they were called Cap''n Swing. I've unearthed a few demos they recorded under that name. I'm just guessing at the titles! You can hear the beginnings of that signature Cars sound in these recordings.

    01- Strawberry Moonlight
    02- Come Back Down
    03- Goes On Sleeping
    04- Twilight Superman
