1982! As Synth Pop Reigns, Rap, Dance and Metal Take Big Steps Forward


Listen Later

We've reached the Year of the Synthesizer. It's everywhere in 1982, from new wave-leaning rock to sleek R&B, and in every instance, it's creating a new sound of pop. The digital age is fully in place, and Hall of Songs is here to chronicle all of it and select our top-12 songs of the year. 

But while keyboards and drum machines create the rhythms of some of the year's biggest songs, a number of genres are making major moves toward the forefront. In this episode we'll also hear metal, rap, dance hall and country.

After listening, go to hallofsongs.com and vote for the songs that you think are the best of the best. Ever.
