It seems unfathomable that 1984 and 1991 were only seven years apart, especially when you look at the monumental shifts that had happened to world culture during that time. Nowhere is this more apparent than when you look at the music of 1984 vs the music of 1991. Did we evolve or devolve? Why does the music of 1984 sound more futuristic than in 1991? One thing is for certain, both '84 and '91 were among the greatest years for music ever, with massive chart topping smash hit albums and larger than life bands & artists in their prime. ATTT is pumped to get into the fray of friendly debate over which of these years stands out for great music, and longtime Pals O The Pod Shannon Hurley, Dustin Prince and our special guest Mike Bisch, who flew in all the way from Detroit to join us in this healthy but competitive discussion. Which is better? You decide.The Patreon Thing is still an ongoing project funded by our favorite people on earth.
