In this episode we transition from our discussion of Queen to a few diva voices and then move to a handful of recent dance pop songs that I think should have seen radio airplay.

As we move into our third series of podcasts, in episode 1 we start with a discussion of the origins of Glam Rock and focus on the current standard bearers of the genre, The Struts. Within our discussion we also talk about a couple of 80's hair metal bands, Robert Palmer/Power Station, some movie connections and re-visit the topic of booty charts.

Months in the making, this episode is a continuation of the discussion that ended Episode 3 when we lost connection. At the beginning of the episode we discuss songs that made the Village Voice's Pazz and Pop list in 1997. The final four #1's also lead to a tangent concerning Billboard's 60th Anniversary of the Hot 100 and their list of the biggest songs of the last 6 decades. I also lament on= the methodology changes over the years.

In the last episode one major story was overlooked in our discussion that centered on the 1988 party. That story leads to a deeper look at the music, especially in the top 10. After that we re-visit a duet I introduced in the last episode by U2 and Mary J. Blige. As I expected Jeff and I come from different ends of the spectrum on that one.

In this episode we start to explore the party #1's that we had not previously discussed. We talk about #1's from the last 80's to the late 90's and quickly realize that the discussion elevates to the iconic albums that they came from.

In this episode we discuss some honorable mentions on our favorites side and then go into each of our 5 least favorite of the music party #1's.

This Pod-Castlist is a great memory lane edition and perfect introduction to Beyond Radio Presents, focusing on Tim's annual music party where Jeff and Tim pick their top 5 and bottom 5 from the #1's of the 35 years. A fun overview of 1983-2018, offering some of Tim's music journey and bringing in some other great music.

Here we each present our top 5 songs from the Pod-Castlist and we find a little bit of crossover on our lists. And one of mine which Jeff called generic at first, was elevated in status in his mind.

In the final look at the influences that shaped the Partridge Family music we have a little rock, psychedelia and quasi-country. In the end we bring some bubblegum back into the mix. As I try to relate the Brady Bunch to a choral rock band called The Polyphonic Spree, Jeff hears something completely different, thus cementing the subjective nature of music appreciation.

In what we refer to as a side stage, Tim gives Jeff a primer on 2 major alternative bands from Canada, The Arkells and July Talk.
