Madonna's unassuming debut has stood the test of time and been called one of the most best albums of the 80s. We take a look at the making of this album and what was happening in that two year window between when disco ended and the 80s music sound was fully formed, when this album came out.

This episode, we talk about the brief window that was the New Romantics era and what that was. Then we go into Duran Duran and their first two albums that were borne out of it.

We follow George's meteoric solo career, duet with Aretha, his record breaking Faith album, working with supermodels on Freedom 90 and his lawsuit and ugly break up with Sony Music. Plus snippets of his best music.

We listen to tracks from one of the best selling soundtracks of the 80s, Pretty In Pink. Featuring songs like If You Leave be OMD, the soundtrack was seminal moment for artists like New Order, Suzanne Vega, INXS, and a reemerging Psychedelic Furs. Join us for a listen and a talk.
