I can't listen to one of my favorite albums of the 80s -- Invisible Touch by Genesis -- without thinking of a girlfriend back in '87 who captured my heart then ripped so many holes in it that I can now effectively use it to strain freshly cooked pasta.

Why the Genesis association? I saw Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks on the Invisible Touch tour back at Orlando's aging Citrus Bowl in February 1987 with this particular girlfriend. Horrible seats, lousy weather, bad concert. And two weeks later, she was in love with another guy and I'd never be the same again.

To this day, hearing "Throwing It All Away" or "In Too Deep" sends me in a chasm of melancholy and angst.

This week's Stuck in the 80s podcast honors the album "Invisible Touch" -- dubbing it one of the definitive albums of the 80s -- and tries to finally put closure on one of the worst breakups of my life. Click here to listen. Or click here to subscribe to all our shows for free on iTunes.
