If you are into classic popmusic and like rambling discussions this is the podcast for you.
I share Brians and Sarah’s love for DM and A-ha and I do agree that Tipping point is the best Tears for Fears album. But I can’t understand why they like Erasure so much. Please make me understand.
I was having a debate with my girlfriend about “the greatest album of all time”. The conversation helped me find this amazing podcast. Informative, entertaining, and very well done… I’m psyched I found Brian and Sarah treasure trove of knowledge; providing trips down memory lane, an appreciation for the 80s, and a chance to learn a whole lot new.
Now about the question that led me here… I would love to see their overall rankings of albums after nearly 10 years of doing this awesome podcast. Th... more
I am re-entering my review. Originally I came for VHxRR and keep checking back for more of info on both Rob and Von, but now I’m going back and listening to older episodes of some of my favorite albums growing up. You both do great research and have such great memories of my favorite music, it makes me want to talk with you about it lol. Keep up the great work and once again, thanks for all your effort here.
Love the passion of the two main hosts! They go into incredible detail with each album and I always learn stuff that I didn’t already know. I’d be interested to hear what they think of The Housemartins.
Love this podcast! They always have fantastic content and great stories about the bands/music that I love. Please keep talking about Erasure, DM, and the PSB!
