Join us as we delve into the monumental musical moments from the second half of Playlist 13, starting with the iconic track 'You Shook Me All Night Long' by AC DC. Discover the heart-wrenching story of how the band overcame the loss of their frontman, Bon Scott, and emerged with Brian Johnson to create one of the greatest rock anthems of all time.
Next, we explore Madness's classic hit 'Baggy Trousers', a song that captures the rebellious spirit of British school life and serves as a counter-narrative to the era's bleakness. Dive into the ska rhythms and pop sensibilities that reflect the joyful chaos of youth.
We then shift to Stevie Wonder's 'Master Blaster', an infectious reggae tune honoring Bob Marley and symbolizing hope and rejuvenation. Experience how this track bridges genres and pays tribute to the reggae movement, cementing Wonder's place as a genre-blending musical genius.
Next we're back with more ska innovation as the Specials prove that they too can evolve as we hear the early harkenings of Fun Boy Three with their mariachi horned "Stereotype".
Diana Ross then dances back into our ears with "My Old Piano", connecting her past success with her future as Nile Rogers and Bernard Edwards update her sound. And we end with the best song ever? Well according to Korn. Yes, it's Air Supply and "All Out Of Love". Is it the best rock ballad ever? You decide!
