    699: Changing Up The Hits of 1984

    Who didn't love 1984? But despite 1984 being the apex of the '80s, there are a few forgotten songs we'd love to hear more from, including tunes from Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Billy Ocean, Shalamar and Bananarama. Here are our picks for several "change-up" hits for the year.

Fan of the 80s ,

Gone Downhill

The first 200 or so episodes are brilliant, the banter between Steve and Sean is as much fun as the topics. The last few months though has seen a change in the co-host and the sound quality has diminished dramatically. Such a shame as i used to be an avid fan but can no longer bare to listen.

No Catchy Title For A Review

Only a couple of listens in but I’m hooked on this podcast. The 80’s New York show was delightful and the Xanadu episode was the very definition of ‘niche’

Happy memories

This is a really interesting podcast, especially for us younger people who didnt experience the 80's.
For the people who did experience 80's this podcast will bring back all your memories when leather was the fashion, cheesy yet great movies, cool glam, punk rock bands with classic hits and ballads. This was the Age that made you feel alive.
