Podcast time: Old faves, new discs

JUNE 08, 2008

It's been a big year for some of our favorite 80s bands. Cyndi Lauper, Night Ranger, Asia, Journey, Madonna, the B-52s and REM have all cranked out new discs. But are they any good?

That's the question we tackle on this week's Stuck in the 80s podcast: New albums from our favorite 80s acts. Click here to listen or click here to get all our shows for free via iTunes.

I'll warn you right now. Co-host Sean Daly agree on little in this show. So be prepared for his lax, Funyun-tainted witchcraft to be constantly clobbered by my always-sound, well-researched theorems.

SUNDAY CHAT: Ah yes, the weekly chat resumes tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern time. Tonight's topics will include: Which landmark 80s albums are missing from your personal collections? And which of the new discs from our favorite bands will you buy this summer? Plus, we can chat about the podcast, the top 10 list of Prince songs and the upcoming Stuck in the 80s convention in Vegas. See you soon.
