Speaker 1 (00:03):
And welcome back. Well, we hope you love those singles
from the seventies and the eighties. Now, Harley and I
are going to take a look at our favorite albums
from the seventies and eighties. Harley, let's kick it off
with you. What were some of your favorite albums during
this time?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Oh? My god? Where to begin? Well, like I did
last time, I will begin with Michael Jackson because frankly,
he was the legend of the time. You know, you
can't go past the eighties without mentioning Thriller. That was
just the album of the eighties in my opinion. I
(00:41):
love that album. I still listen to it today. Yeah,
there was something special there.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
See, I've got Bad. I've got Bad from Michael Jackson
on my list because I was so shocked when Smooth
Criminal wasn't on the History album because yeah, that to
me is my favorite Michael Jackson track, and I love
Bad as an album.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I know like that. I think that shocked me as well.
At the time. It's like, why wouldn't you include that
on there? It's like, what was It's one of my
all time favorites as well. Yeah, that is a weird choice,
but I had to sort of just go through and
double check some stuff because I had mentioned Princess Purple Rain,
(01:29):
and I was thinking some of the and I was
getting confused about what's on what album and stuff as well.
So I just took a moment then to kind of
go through the discography and realized, oh crap, there's like
twice as many as I realized that we're actually in
the eighties. So yeah, Purple Rain is brilliant. And I
(01:53):
was trying to think of the name of this album,
and yep, sure enough, it was still in the eighties.
Around the world, I love that album.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I don't know if many people give it as much
attention or credit now compared to all the others, but yeah,
around the world in a day, it's a really good album.
Controversy was one of the early ones.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I really liked.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Parade of course, has tracks like kiss and all that
you know people will love. And if you've seen his
film Under the Cherry Moon, that album is basically the
soundtrack for that movie. Sign of the Times I thought
came in the nineties, but no, that came out in
(02:38):
nineteen eighty seven apparently, And I really love that album.
There's some great tracks that came off Sign of the Times.
I can't believe that was still nineteen eighty seven. But
one that's really important for me as a kid loving
superheroes was the Batman soundtrack from the Tim Burton film
because it was all Prince songs and I still listened
(02:59):
to play and sing those songs myself to this very day,
over and over. Yeah. I know you're going to mention
a Madonna album as well.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I'm actually not because mine was in the nineties. I
realized the Madonna album.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Oh that's right, Yeah, that's right. Yeah. So yeah, that's
what makes it hard, like I have to double check
everything to think when was the release of the Yeah,
you know, but Madonna's first album. I think that's still special, Like,
you know, the the four album had all those great
(03:41):
hits like like a Virgin and Material Girl and Angel
and the Gambler, such great songs. But at the same time,
that first album of hers, the self titled one, that
I think is just really good as an album in
and of its own right, So that one has a
(04:03):
special place for me. Again, I'll mention Fleetwood Mac because
you know, there were so many great tracks from them,
But the Rumors album has always been like kind of
legendary and been a favorite of mine. I'm going to
mention the Pointer sister's album Breakout, which had you know,
(04:26):
the tracks I really loved when I was little, like
Hit Jump and Neutron Dance. I love that so much,
so I think that album definitely gets a special place
in remembering the seventies and eighties. See where I had
a hard time earlier in trying to figure out what
(04:47):
Aretha Franklin songs do, I mention I'm gonna pick two
of her albums. One from the seventies Lady Sings the Blues.
A lot of her great appear on that album, and
also in these sort of early to mid eighties, she
had just an album entitled Aretha, and that also includes
(05:11):
the jumping Jack Flash, the song which I love so much.
I'm going to mention one that probably no one remembers,
and it was a band called Get Wet with the
album called get Wet, and I guess you can imagine
where they got the title from, because you know, it
(05:34):
was that day they.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Were talking about.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Yessah, you know, but you know, and I didn't mention
in the singles thing. They had probably only a couple
of singles released off the album, but the album itself
is really good, really interesting stuff. They kind of I
don't know, I think they're they're vibe. The album came
(06:01):
out in nineteen eighty and then they I think they
were a couple who got married and then broke up,
so they goes to the band. So one album. But
it's a really interesting album, and like I encourage people
to go and just check it out. It's something different.
So of the time, it was maybe even a little
(06:23):
bit before its time, coming out in nineteen eighty, it
was like a new trendforming or something. But yeah, check
out and get Wet by Get Wet Now. I loved
the Wiz movie as a kid, with Michael Jackson, Dana
Ross and you know all these great African American celebrities, singers, dancers, performers,
(06:48):
just doing amazing stuff, which you know was a film
version of a stage play. So I recommend if you
can get access to either soundtrack of the stage like
the broad Away production whatever it was, or the film.
There are great tracks in the Wiz that has to
(07:09):
just go on record. There Who I thought, I want
to me I mentioned Shakespeare's sister when we're talking about
you know, great singles of the seventies and eighties. So yeah,
their first album was called Sacred Heart, and yeah, definitely
worth a listen. You might even, you know, if you
(07:29):
don't kind of remember them properly if you hear the album.
There's a couple of songs I think you'll suddenly realize, oh,
I remember hearing that. I think there's something special coming
out of that act. And I'll end it again on
Cyndi Lauper. It's hard not to like anything she did
in the eighties. Really. Her first album, She's So Unusual,
(07:52):
was just brilliant, so many great and memorable tracks on there.
Her second album, I almost feel like gets overlooked sometimes,
but there's some of my favorite tracks on there. It's
called True Colors with you know. True Colors was released
from the album as well. And I loved her album
A Night to Remember, which I think came out at
(08:14):
about eighty nine, and that's the one where she did
the cover of Roy Orbison's I Drove All Night. But
like all the tracks on there are brilliant and you
could tell she was developing and changing her kind of
style at the time. So it's a nice kind of Yeah,
sneak peek. It's seeing where she's come from, where she's going,
(08:35):
what is she going on too? Because she she really
does evolve over time. So yeah, those are my picks.
And I know I've like totally forgotten, neglected and overlooked
so many great acts and albums. That's they're the ones
I could I could bring to mind properly, So I
know you've got the pressure ones to mention though.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, I'm going to start with Bad from Michael Jackson,
which had Man in the Mirror and also Smooth Criminal
on it. Man in the Mirror was another one of
those tracks that I fell in love with the first
time I heard it, and I heard it at I
don't know if you remember this. Do you remember Triple
Am used to do the Triple Am sky Show, which
was like a big fireworks thing over Albert Park Lake. Okay,
(09:23):
we used to be out where I lived when I
was growing up. We used to be able to see
the fireworks from Albert Park Lake from our We were
up on a hill so we could see it and
we used to have the music on that was playing
there because I used to play it on the radio
at the same time, and I remember hearing Man in
the Mirror, and I was like, I already liked Smooth Criminal.
(09:45):
I was like, oh my goodness, Like I'm falling more
and more in love with Michael Jackson's music. Like it was.
It was just one of those tracks, and I remember
getting bad on vinyl and just loved that album. There's
one that kind of I don't know whether this is
cheating or not, but the Pet Shop Boys brought out
(10:09):
an album in nineteen eighty eight and then I and
then again nineteen eighty nine where they'd had a lot
of singles that weren't on albums like early on in
their career, so they brought out an album called it Introspective,
and then they brought out Introspective Further Listening, which was
(10:29):
more of the tracks that they had recorded during the
eighties but not made onto albums. And it's just got
amazing tracks like I'm Always on my Mind, I Want
a Dog, I Get Excited, You Get excited to Don Juan,
the sound of an atom splitting, what keeps man Kind Alive? Yeah,
(10:54):
just so many great Pet Shop Boys tracks. And it's
funny because back in the eighties I wasn't into the
Pet Shop Boys. It was only later in life when
I was at UNI, like I knew tracks like always
on my Mind. But when I was at Uni, I
somebody lent me an album called Alternative Pet Shop Boys,
(11:15):
which I think was a double album, and it was
kind of a best of but reworkings and rare versions
of some of their bigger tracks. And then I went
on too a big Pet Shop Boys Deep Dive because
I fell in love with that album. But yeah, Introspective,
if you've never heard that, I think it's one of
(11:36):
the most perfect, perfect electro albums that you're ever likely
see here now, one of the big ones. And this
is another one that I remember from when I was
a kid because my dad used to listen to the
album over and over, and I think later in life
I've probably learned to love it even more. A Bat
(11:58):
out of Hell by meat Low. It's hard to believe
that's actually a seventies album that came out in nineteen
seventy seven, but just so many amazing tracks on that album,
Bat out of Hell, you took the words right out
of my mouth. And the one that I really really love,
Paradise by the Dashboard Light. It's a weird album because
(12:22):
it's only seven songs long, but some of those songs
go for like nearly twenty minutes. Yeah, if you take
a listen to the songs like all wrapped Up with
No Place to Go, that track in itself goes for
about fourteen fifteen minutes. So yeah, I don't know. It's
just one of those albums that I know a lot
(12:43):
of people in Australia these days laugh when they hear
meat Loaf because of the disaster that happened at the
AFL Grand Final, But when you go back and listen
to his music, he was actually a very very gifted musician.
I know a lot of that was from Jim Steinman,
who he worked with, who was his song writer, but
just an amazing musician, not only vocally but also with
(13:06):
the the tracks that they were that they were putting
together as well. I'm alsto going to go for another
one that is probably not the band's most popular album,
but it's an album that I've always really loved. And
(13:28):
I was talking to you before, Harley about off air,
where I was saying that I was a kiss tragic
when I was a kid. My first day at at
primary school, I was decked out in my Kiss T shirt,
I had my Kiss lunchbox, and my mom had had
to stop me from wearing Kiss makeup to school on
my first day. But they had an album come out
(13:49):
in ninety They had an album come out in nineteen
eighty seven called Crazy Nights, which when I was a kid,
I just absolutely adored. I know it came out a
little bit later on when I was at primary school,
but I loved Crazy Crazy Nights. I loved I'll fight
Hell to Hold You, and I got in trouble for
singing I want to Bang Bang You at school. I
(14:12):
didn't know what it meant, but yeah it was. It
was on Crazy Nights. But yeah, just it's one of
those albums where it's kind of funny because if you
talk to people about what their favorite Kiss albums are,
they go back to like Lick It Up or something
like that. But there's just something I just love about
(14:35):
Crazy Nights. I think it's a kind of underrated album
that we don't talk about probably as often as we should.
Let's have a look on my list here.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah, I found that as well. Like I mentioned when
I was talking about Prince, there's he released so many
albums from like nineteen seventy eight to nineteen eighty nine
was like yearly, maybe sometimes two in a year, like
it was quite prolific, which is why I couldn't believe
that some of it was in the timeframe we're looking at.
(15:12):
I thought, surely that would have had to have come later,
because it sounded a kind of like a later thing
as well.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
So, and it's so easy then for things to get overlooked.
Maybe people just remember certain singles because a lot of
these albums when they're released in quick succession and only
have a couple of kind of singles from them, and
maybe only one or two of those is really big
and memorable. So especially when you've got a group like
Kiss like, you know how big they are and so
(15:41):
much to be remembered for. Yeah, a lot of stuff
will get overlooked quite unfairly.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Yeah. Another one I've got here as well, Slippery When
Wet of course by bon Jovi. That was the album
that came out that kind of introduced me to bon Jovi,
I guess you could say. And the album that we
talked about before that actually came out on the day
that I was born, The Wall by Pink Floyd, just
(16:10):
an absolutely amazing album. I got the pleasure of seeing
Roger Waters play live a few years ago, and apart
from doing a couple of his own singles, he pretty
much went back over the Pink Floyd back catalog and
just being able to hear songs like again, this is
another one of those albums where MY favorite track is
(16:31):
probably not the track that a lot of other people
would consider their favorite track, but I love Comfortably Numb
and being able to hear him play that live was
just absolutely amazing. But I'll leave it there because there
are so many eighties we haven't even got into Guns
and Roses and ACDC and all of that that I
(16:54):
love as well.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
And I just realized I forgot to write on my
list what I mentioned in our singles like Janet Jackson's
Rhythm Nation and you know, perfect album right there. But
that's the last thing I'm going to mention.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
So yeah, yeah, like there's so much other stuff as well,
like lou Reid, David Bowie. There's so much that. Yeah,
there's so much in there that I'd love to talk about,
even iggy pop, but yeah, we might We'll leave that
for another day. I think we should do more deep
dives so we might do deep dives into some of
those artists and and have a look at things like
(17:31):
best single and best album cut and best album and
stuff like that. So I think that's going to be a.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Right yeah, let us let us know when the socials,
what you guys you know, want us to kind of
deep dive into. Is it a specific artist, a genre
of music, you know, era something, so yeah, let us know, definitely.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
But we're going to take a listen now to some
of the tracks that we've just talked about off some
of our favorite albums. So sit back and enjoy it.
And welcome back. Well, we hope you love those singles
from the seventies and the eighties. Now, Harley and I
are going to take a look at our favorite albums
from the seventies and eighties. Harley, let's kick it off
with you. What were some of your favorite albums during
this time?
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Oh? My god? Where to begin? Well, like I did

just the album of the eighties in my opinion. I
(00:41):
love that album. I still listen to it today. Yeah,
there was something special there.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
See, I've got Bad. I've got Bad from Michael Jackson
on my list because I was so shocked when Smooth
Criminal wasn't on the History album because yeah, that to
me is my favorite Michael Jackson track, and I love
Bad as an album.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I know like that. I think that shocked me as well.
At the time. It's like, why wouldn't you include that
on there? It's like, what was It's one of my
all time favorites as well. Yeah, that is a weird choice,
but I had to sort of just go through and
double check some stuff because I had mentioned Princess Purple Rain,

Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I don't know if many people give it as much

around the world in a day, it's a really good album.
Controversy was one of the early ones.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I really liked.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Parade of course, has tracks like kiss and all that
you know people will love. And if you've seen his

to play and sing those songs myself to this very day,
over and over. Yeah. I know you're going to mention
a Madonna album as well.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
I'm actually not because mine was in the nineties. I
realized the Madonna album.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Oh that's right, Yeah, that's right. Yeah. So yeah, that's
what makes it hard, like I have to double check
everything to think when was the release of the Yeah,
you know, but Madonna's first album. I think that's still special, Like,

eighty seven called Crazy Nights, which when I was a kid,
I just absolutely adored. I know it came out a
little bit later on when I was at primary school,
but I loved Crazy Crazy Nights. I loved I'll fight
Hell to Hold You, and I got in trouble for
singing I want to Bang Bang You at school. I
(14:12):
didn't know what it meant, but yeah it was. It
was on Crazy Nights. But yeah, just it's one of
those albums where it's kind of funny because if you
talk to people about what their favorite Kiss albums are,
they go back to like Lick It Up or something
like that. But there's just something I just love about
(14:35):
Crazy Nights. I think it's a kind of underrated album
that we don't talk about probably as often as we should.
Let's have a look on my list here.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah, I found that as well. Like I mentioned when
I was talking about Prince, there's he released so many
albums from like nineteen seventy eight to nineteen eighty nine
was like yearly, maybe sometimes two in a year, like
it was quite prolific, which is why I couldn't believe
that some of it was in the timeframe we're looking at.
(15:12):
I thought, surely that would have had to have come later,
because it sounded a kind of like a later thing
as well.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
So, and it's so easy then for things to get overlooked.
Maybe people just remember certain singles because a lot of
these albums when they're released in quick succession and only
have a couple of kind of singles from them, and
maybe only one or two of those is really big
and memorable. So especially when you've got a group like
Kiss like, you know how big they are and so
(15:41):
much to be remembered for. Yeah, a lot of stuff
will get overlooked quite unfairly.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Yeah. Another one I've got here as well, Slippery When
Wet of course by bon Jovi. That was the album
that came out that kind of introduced me to bon Jovi,
I guess you could say. And the album that we
talked about before that actually came out on the day
that I was born, The Wall by Pink Floyd, just
(16:10):
an absolutely amazing album. I got the pleasure of seeing
Roger Waters play live a few years ago, and apart
from doing a couple of his own singles, he pretty
much went back over the Pink Floyd back catalog and
just being able to hear songs like again, this is
another one of those albums where MY favorite track is
(16:31):
probably not the track that a lot of other people
would consider their favorite track, but I love Comfortably Numb
and being able to hear him play that live was
just absolutely amazing. But I'll leave it there because there
are so many eighties we haven't even got into Guns
and Roses and ACDC and all of that that I
(16:54):
love as well.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
And I just realized I forgot to write on my
list what I mentioned in our singles like Janet Jackson's
Rhythm Nation and you know, perfect album right there. But
that's the last thing I'm going to mention.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
So yeah, yeah, like there's so much other stuff as well,
like lou Reid, David Bowie. There's so much that. Yeah,
there's so much in there that I'd love to talk about,
even iggy pop, but yeah, we might We'll leave that
for another day. I think we should do more deep
dives so we might do deep dives into some of
those artists and and have a look at things like
(17:31):
best single and best album cut and best album and
stuff like that. So I think that's going to be a.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Right yeah, let us let us know when the socials,
what you guys you know, want us to kind of
deep dive into. Is it a specific artist, a genre
of music, you know, era something, so yeah, let us know, definitely.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
But we're going to take a listen now to some
of the tracks that we've just talked about off some
of our favorite albums. So sit back and enjoy it.
