Episode #10: Uneasy Riders; The strange, distinctive, and different hits of the 70s and 80s


Listen Later

This week, Roger looks at the hits he calls Uneasy Riders. These are hit songs that stand out from the crowd for one reason or another. If you're thinking of the Disco Ducks, the Convoys, the Pac-Man Fevers, and the Rock Me Amadeuses of the world, you're right. But there are so many more, so many that the Old Man has done tournaments to determine the Uneasiest Riders of all. He's already finished the 70s tourney, and you can look at parts of it here: https://bobbyglovescasey.blogspot.com/2018/03/the-old-mans-ultimate-grand.html https://bobbyglovescasey.blogspot.com/2018/04/the-old-mans-ultimate-grand.html https://bobbyglovescasey.blogspot.com/2018/04/the-third-group-of-32-songs-in-our.html https://bobbyglovescasey.blogspot.com/2018/06/you-can-call-this-sex-and-drugs-and.html https://bobbyglovescasey.blogspot.com/2018/07/the-fifth-set-of-first-round-matchups.html https://bobbyglovescasey.blogspot.com/2018/08/the-old-mans-70s-grand-championship.html https://bobbyglovescasey.blogspot.com/2018/09/the-old-mans-ultimate-70s-uneasy-rider.html https://bobbyglovescasey.blogspot.com/2018/11/the-old-mans-ultimate-70s-at40-uneasy.html https://bobbyglovescasey.blogspot.com/2019/08/the-omusurt-final.html But the 80s tournament is in the early days, so you can get in on the process as it happens. Exciting! And there's a YouTube of course https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDWLXjsOJPQm_lRRvpWmxMFSyjDBJEFOR So listen. It's a fun journey, and it won't bite. One of the songs might, though.
