Top 5 Songs of 1988!
1988 was the year that the Cold War began to thaw, when the Reagan era ended and the Bush era began. It was also the year where the USA lost in Olympic basketball for the first time, Kirk Gibson won the World Series with one swing and Mike Tyson was the baddest man on the planet.
It's hard to believe that 1988 was 35 years ago, but it's even harder to whittle down the music of 1988 to a Top 5 list! Join Jason and Dee as we do our best to choose the best of a year where the King of Pop still reigned but hair bands and hip hop were storming the castle!

Great Show
I enjoyed the Innocent Man track by track podcast. Great job guys!
Great podcast!
Great rapport between the hosts. Great knowledge base… you can tell they care about the content and accuracy, but, most of all, you can tell they are passionate about this side job and love what they do.
And, I’m a Cold War kid so the things they discuss are right in my formative wheelhouse!
Keep it up guys!
