Music of the 80s can best be described with one word - adventurous. Music was fast becoming something more than the sum of its parts. MTV and music video was changing what constitutes a rock star in the modern era. Synthesizers and overdriven gated drum sounds pounded listeners' ears into submission and the artists and bands on the cutting edge were just as fascinating to watch as they were to listen to. It's no surprise that many of them went on to have a lasting impact on popular culture well into the 90s and beyond. On a zoom call all the way from Long Island, NY; musician, friend and super mensch Alex Dubovoy joins the pod for a look back at those bands and artists that have left their mark in the ensuing decades and have influenced just about every band and artist you love from the 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s.
