Episode 17 - 1980 Part 1

aaaand WE'RE BACK!! Marty and Kris are back in the house to unfurl 1980 and break down the good, the bad, and the ugly. We talk "moanin cat blues" (0:05) Marty talks tectonic plates shifting (4:34) and body shames Vince Neil (11:14). We then have a conversation about the synthesizer and how it influenced the decade and the genres and bands it created (13:00). To cap it off, We get down to Kris' pick, Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders raucous and gritty debut, Pretenders (43:00). 

Thanks to everyone sticking it out thru the madness. We're going to start releasing episodes on a more regular basis now that we've made some upgrades to our home recording setups. We've got some fun stuff lined up for upcoming episodes. Hit us up at [email protected] and, if you feel so inclined, check out our patreon at patreon.com/albumoftheyear. Thanks again!
