Send us Fan Mail Just in time for your July 4th weekend! October 1983 records include one from our Patron subscribers! Was this the genesis of the rise of Genesis or the genesis of the decline of Genesis? Should it be "Color by Numbers" in the US? Was Lionel Richie's "Can't Slow Down" a "Thriller lite"? Nick Heyward?

Step back into the neon glow of the 80s with 80s Music Exposed!-80s Albums Reviewed. Hosts Chris and Henry, alongside their social media director Megan, aren't just playing the greatest hits. They're on a detailed, chronological mission, reviewing five albums from each specific month of the decade. This podcast digs deep into the sonic time capsule, from chart-topping pop and hair metal to forgotten new wave and early hip-hop records. Each episode is a conversation that wrestles these albums from their original context into our modern listening experience, asking the essential question: do these records still hold up? You'll get thoughtful commentary, personal anecdotes, and a healthy dose of debate as the trio determines which albums are worth rediscovering and which might be best left in the past. It's more than nostalgia; it's a critical and often humorous reappraisal of an entire era's musical output, one month at a time. For anyone who lived through the era or is just curious about its vast landscape, this show provides the context and deep cuts you won't find on a standard playlist. Tune in to hear if your favorites pass the test.
