Brian Redd and the Tuesday Night Music Show crew delve into music history and the risks bands take with new sounds. A deep dive into the Yes album 90125 explores why its use of new technology—like the Fairlight CMI and Trevor Horn's production—made it groundbreaking, yet divisive for long-time progressive rock fans.

This segment connects the idea of musical experimentation to Diane Warren's songwriting process, particularly her use of a Linn drum machine to write “Rhythm of the Night.” The group concludes by debating the earliest use of a synthesizer riff in a pop song, touching on Del Shannon's “Runaway” and the Musitron.
