We dissect the Grammy Awards where Kenny Rogers and Phil Collins stole the show, and Whitney Houston's Grammy-winning record. Our conversation takes a serious turn as we honor the courage of those who participated in the People's Power Revolution in the Philippines. We also reminisce about the Eurovision Song Contest and the influence of Bob Geldof's honorary UK knighthood. From the Monkeys' iconic tour to the Conspiracy of Hope benefit concert, we cover a wide range of musical events that shaped this era.

What's a trip to the 80s without a deep dive into punk, hardcore, and rock music? We uncover the stories behind the break-up of influential bands such as The Boomtown Rats, Black Flag, Culture Club, and ELO, and discuss the legacy they left behind. We navigate through the world of music, from the tunes of the Five, Six, Seven, Eights and Cowboy Junkies to the drama of band break-ups, such as Thin Lizzy's. So, come take a ride with us down memory lane to the rhythms of the 80s, full of laughs, reflection, and good old nostalgia.
