A (Mostly) 80s Music Podcast: What Difference Does It Make?

A lot to unravel in this episode. Tattoos on Jews, John Cusack or Adam Levine, Stan Ridgway singing inside a pot full of beans and we learn about King Cotton and Roscoe's Rap. It's all inside our KROQ countdown from 1982 as we discuss song 50 to 41.

Simon LeBon may have said being on a boat for Duran Duran's Rio video was a joke but Holly and Dave knew this something to aspire to. We should all look this good whilst sailing. The real joke was the "Sex" song by Berlin. And there was nothing funny about German band Trio singing about not being loved, nor was Sparks being funny while being Eaten By The Monster Of Love. It's all under discussion on this episode of "What Difference Does It Make."
