Horrible hits of 1983: 10 reasons you almost stopped listening to music altogether
Ever look back in time and wonder, "How did I get through that wretched year?" That's the way Sean Daly and I feel about music from the year 1983.
Oh sure, it was filled like classic tunes like Billie Jean, Let's Dance, Little Red Corvette and more. But for every Maneater (bless you Hall & Oates), there's a dozen stinkers from the likes of Christopher Cross, Phil Collins, Debarge and more.
And so, it is with heavy hearts (possibly from eating too many Lil Smokies) that we present our latest podcast: The Horrible Hits of 1983. I don't want to give away too many surprises (other than this is yet another show that required Rolaids for us just to finish the recording process, thanks to the latest batch of scary snack foods). Suffice to say that if you feel compelled to leave us some scathing feedback after listening ... then it's all Daly's fault because he picked most of the songs this time around.
