    Who didn't love 1984? But despite 1984 being the apex of the '80s, there are a few forgotten songs we'd love to hear more from, including tunes from Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Billy Ocean, Shalamar and Bananarama. Here are our picks for several "change-up" hits for the year.

80s

I give this an 80 out of 80

Horrible since Dailey left

Found it a couple months ago. Listened to first 275 episodes quickly. It was great with spears and Dailey. After Dailey left it’s borderline unlistenable due to the extreme unlikability of the other hosts.

Never thought the 80’s could be this boring

I like all the topics they cover and it’s nice to have on in the background when I’m doing other things or going to sleep. Unfortunately none of the hosts have an ounce of charisma. They call themselves “stuck in the 80’s,” but they seem like they hate every song and movie they talk about. Definitely better than other podcasts where the hosts are screaming or laughing like hyenas, but definitely needs to liven up a little and stop trying to be too cool to like anything.
