This week we travel back in time to the radical 80s when the 2nd British Invasion hit the States in the form of New Wave! However, we are exploring the true background of all these big pop hit makers; when they were PUNK! Whether you like this style of music or not, this is a fun exploration of the seedy underground beginning of some of the biggest 80s pop stars. 

This episode features songs with short track lengths and lots of, “No way! I can’t believe that’s ____”! It’s PUNK ROCK people! It’s fun and filthy and is where Kevin started down his path of music fanaticism. These songs are all firmly in the category of “Forgotten”. We hope we introduce to some tunes you may not have heard from these big New Wave hit makers.

Songs this week include:

1. Neon – “Information Of Death” from Obsessions EP (1982)
2. The Cure – “I Dig You” from I’m A Cult Hero (1979)
3. Beastie Boys – “Ode To…” from Polly Wog Stew EP (1982)
4. Joy Division – “Warsaw” from Substance 1977-1980 (1978)
5. The Go-Go’s - “Party Pose” from Return To The Valley Of The Go-Go’s (1979)
6. Generation X – “Ready Steady Go” from Generation X (1978)
7. Bananarama – “No Feelings (Sex Pistols)” from Party Party – The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1983)
