Ep29A: The Police

Author: DDDC January 29, 2023 Duration: 1:21:48
As one of the post-punk bands to most successfully make the transition to pop super-stardom, it seems wholly appropriate that the last deep dive of the season focus on the Police. Rob's highschool buddy, Tony, joins in on the fun. PLUS: it's time to vote for your favorite albums of 1979. Get your list submitted by February 16th.

Join Rob and Joseph as they chronologically discuss all the notable albums of the punk/new wave movement. From the messy, anarchic noise of the early 70’s proto-punk rockers to the tired, polished death-rattles of the mid-80’s corporate synth-poppers, no stone goes unturned in their quest to fully examine the birth, life and death of “the wave” that produced some of the most beloved songs in modern popular music.
