We reach the end of the 80s Padgham Parade where we began with more success with Phil, Sting & Genesis. Plus more besides including an ex-Beach Boy (THE Beach Boy), Hojo’s last big hit and an underrated gem of an LP. In PART 4; 1986 (part 2); Invisible Touch – Genesis (1:50) No One Is To Blame – Howard Jones (20:35) 1987; …Nothing Like The Sun – Sting (24:00) Remembrance Days – The Dream Academy (32:25) 19...

Step past the neon curtain and into the studio with 80sography-80s music interviews, hosted by Mr 80sography. This isn't a simple nostalgia trip or a parade of greatest hits. Instead, it's a series of conversations that get to the heart of what made the 1980s such a uniquely vibrant and often misunderstood period for music. We bypass the so-called Taste Police to explore the decade's genuine spirit-that potent mix of bold originality, unapologetic individuality, and sheer zestful vitality that defined the sound. Each episode features an in-depth interview, bringing you the artists, producers, session players, and behind-the-scenes figures who shaped the era. You'll hear personal stories, creative insights, and candid reflections that go far beyond the liner notes. The aim is to understand the 'why' and the 'how' behind the music we remember, and perhaps discover some we missed entirely. Tune in for a thoughtful, engaging, and richly detailed audio journey that treats the decade with the depth it deserves. This podcast is for anyone who believes that era was more than just shoulder pads and synthesizers; it was a genuine cultural moment worth examining on its own terms.
