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.

The 2025 lineup of The 80s Cruise is now available and includes Adam Ant, Squeeze, Christopher Cross, Men at Work and Andy Bell of Erasure. Listen to this week's show for a special promo code that will give first-time cruisers $200 in cabin credit. For more information, go to www.the80scruise.com.
