Speaker 1 (00:25):
Hello listeners. Yes, it is time for another episode of
Subculture and Harley. This time around, it is a very
special episode of Subculture because we're heading back to the
nineteen seventies and the nineteen eighties.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yes, we're getting very indulgent here having a look back
at a great time that well, they're kind of the
two decades that get celebrated a lot, aren't they. We
kind of keep going through these phases of let's bring
back the seventies and then let's bring back the eighties
fashion wise, music wise, There's there's a whole lot of

(01:00):
influence that goes on around it, around, particularly with these
two decades. So why not it's worth a look back.
But there's a reason for it. Why don't you tell them? Yeah,
we had a little bit of a talk.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Well later on, I should, Yeah, I should introduce ourselves first.
I'm Dave g and NASAs Ali. We are here for
a nineteen seventies nineteen eighties inspired episode of Subculture because
we have a very special guest today, Sharicurry from The
Runaways is going to be joining us a little bit
later on, and during that chat we kind of really
got into the nineteen seventies and nineteen eighties music, and

(01:36):
we talked a little bit about the artists that inspired
the Runaways, and we also spoke about the artists who
have been inspired by the Runaways. So we thought today
on the show, we would do a little bit of
a deep dive into the Runaways and take a look
at each member of the band. We thought, after we've
chat to Shari, we would keep the seventies and eighties
vibe going. Harley and I are going to talk about

(01:58):
our favorite night seventies and nineteen eighties tracks and also albums.
And that was a lot of fun to put together,
wasn't it.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, it was a lot of fun. I think some
of the fun came afterwards realizing, oh, I totally forgot
this album or this single. Damn it, Why didn't I
mention that that should have been an obvious one.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Definitely, And the funny bit was after after we did hours,
I actually teamed up with Nick Gardner, who, as far
as I'm concerned, is one of the best music journalists
that we have in this country, and I thought it'd
be interesting to get his best albums from the seventies
and eighties as well, because he's got a very, very
alternative view, and as him and I were talking, started

(02:42):
to think about a whole bunch of other tracks that
you and I had completely forgotten about as well. So
he talks about some of those albums. But yeah, it's
just a big celebration today of the seventies and the eighties,
and we should kick it off by delving into an
artist that the Runaways have all said, and as you

(03:05):
hear later on, Shari Curry says, was such a big
influence on all of them. We're going to kick off
today's show with stumbling in by Susie Quatro. As Shari
says during the interview, until they put Susie Quatro in
the Hall of Fame, she's not interested in being there.
So yeah, let's kick off today's show. Harley was stumbling

(03:27):
in by Susie Quatro, A lie.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
And so again.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
On the table, stumbling, I love there's a blame.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Now and then.

Speaker 6 (03:53):
Okay, just stumbling.

Speaker 7 (03:58):

Speaker 8 (05:20):
You were so young, Oh.

Speaker 10 (05:24):

Speaker 15 (05:53):

Speaker 8 (05:57):
I love It's a lie.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
So it begins, she lay in our hearts on the table.
Stumble it is, I love it is a plane.

Speaker 12 (06:16):
Running with it.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
Now there by line the gadget stumble, it is.

Speaker 5 (06:27):
Stubble, it is.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Stumble, it is she.

Speaker 6 (06:35):
Laying her hearts on the table.

Speaker 7 (06:38):
Stumble.

Speaker 15 (06:39):
It is.

Speaker 8 (06:41):
All stumbling, a stumbling.

Speaker 14 (06:49):
Now it is filight catches stumbled.

Speaker 8 (06:54):
It is all stumbling.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
And that, of course was Susie Cotro there. Well, we
thought we would start the episode, so we're going to
have to recurry on a little bit later that we
would actually start the episode by doing a little bit
of a deep dive into where each of the members
of the Runaways went. Because Harley, the Runaways are actually
only around from nineteen seventy five to nineteen seventy nine,
but they had four albums in that time period.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, I know, pretty prolific. This has kind of when
while we were recording our kind of favorite albums and
stuff from the seventies and eighties, I was just realizing
Prince was very similar. He was quite prolifically, you know,
releasing multiple albums, like at least one a year, but

(08:05):
sometimes a couple in the year. And I think who
else was like that. I think Credom's clear Water Revival
looks like they had several albums in the space of
a year. I'm like, what.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, So the first member of the Runaways that we're
going to look at what happened to them post breakup
is of course Joan Jet, who many would probably deemed
to be the most successful away from the band. Now,
she was rejected by twenty three record labels for doing
solo work after the Runaways, so she decided she would

(08:38):
team up with producer Kenny Laguna and form Black Heart Records.
So from then on, all of her albums, along with
her solo and her Black Hearts albums, have all come
out through Black Heart Records, and of course She's had
massive hits with tracks like I Love rock and Roll,
Crimson Clover, Bad Reputation. She also co starred in the

(09:01):
nineteen eighty seven film Light of Day with Michael J. Fox,
and was in the two thousand Broadway production of The
Rocky Horror Show. She recently was also voted in as
one of the one hundred Greatest Guitarists of all Time
by Rolling Stone magazine, and in twenty fifteen, she and
the Black Hearts were inducted into the Rock and Roll

(09:24):
Hall of Fame. So definitely Joan Jet has kicked on
since the Runaways.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah, absolutely. I mean even if maybe you're not super
familiar with her music, you probably know her name. That's
just a testament as like Lake as she she has,
so it's very easy to look up and find that
body of work she's done. And so yeah, I didn't
know she did the Rocky Horror either. That was pretty impressive.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah, And of course some people here in Australia will
remember Joan Kerner premier Joan Kerner. I played her on
The Late Show in a parody as well, so, but.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
She didn't think I could play her. It was just
a mistaken identity.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Thing.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
That's that's still my best reference for Joan Jets. I've
been the wrong person. It was John Kurner.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Well, let's sit back now and enjoy.

Speaker 16 (10:21):
I love rock and roll by Joan jet.

Speaker 17 (10:35):
About the rest of the ship's a bit about seventy.

Speaker 10 (10:48):
From and I could tell it belong and.

Speaker 18 (10:56):
It was with me, yeah, me, and I could tell
it wouldn't belong.

Speaker 8 (11:01):
And he was with Meami again, my.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
Cow and smile.

Speaker 18 (11:19):
So I got up and as it was Mad, that
don't matter, it's it because it's all the same.

Speaker 10 (11:28):
So take your home where we got be alone.

Speaker 18 (11:35):
The next we're moving on, it was with me, yeah, me,
Next we're moving on?

Speaker 15 (11:42):
It was with me, how.

Speaker 8 (12:12):
Where we may.

Speaker 10 (12:16):
Next we're moving on?

Speaker 18 (12:18):
It was mad jamm and we'll be moving on and
singing as some mold song with me singing.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
So the next member of the band that we're going
to take a look at right now from the Runaways,
of course, is Sandy West. Now she continued her association
with John Orcock. Once the Runaways disbanded. She formed the
Sandy West Band and they kind of toured a lot
around California during the eighties and the nineties. She also

(13:36):
became a session worker in studios with John f Enwhistle
from The Who, and became a famous drum teacher. And
if you listen later on, she Ree actually mentions that
her son is her drummer. Now, her son was actually
taught by Sandy the drama from the Runaways, so there's
a little bit of a link there as well. Now. Sadly,

(14:00):
West died from lung cancer in October two thousand and six,
and there was a memorial tribute concert held for her
in Los Angeles which featured the Sandy West Band, she Recurry,
the Bengals, the Donners and Vinny a Piece, amongst a
whole heap of others. So even though Sandy probably didn't
have the career that Joan Jet had outside of it,

(14:24):
her drumming has certainly become something that a lot of
female drummers have learnt from and strive to try and
be like, which is why bands like The Donners and
that paid tribute to her at the memorial concert. But Harley, yeah,
you've got to be doing something right when you've got

(14:45):
other artists looking to emulate you in the industry, don't
you Absolutely?

Speaker 2 (14:51):
And I think from every time you know I've heard
someone speak about her that always said good things and
how Yeah, like they look up to her and what
she accomplished, and I think she's still there was always
someone they wanted to work with following the band and everything.
So yeah, it's quite a testament to who she must

(15:12):
have been.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah. So talking of people that wanted to work with
her after she left the band, we're actually going to
play the Sandy West band track Black Leather, which is
fronted here by Shari Curry. So her runaway's bandmate wanted
to work with her pretty much straight away after she
left the band. So sit back and enjoy this because
this is a little bit of a rarity. It's not

(15:35):
a track that's played very often anymore. But here we
go with black Leather with the from the Sandy West
Band featuring the Sharie Curry.

Speaker 14 (16:24):

Speaker 8 (16:31):

Speaker 19 (16:46):

Speaker 13 (18:52):
I hear an alpho.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
D y.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
And we're going to continue on with our Runaways deep
dive now on subculture by taking a look at Mickey Steele. Now,
of course, Mickey Steele left the Runaways after the breakup
and went on to form another band, which was a
very very popular band. Hally, what do you know about
the Bengals.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
I used to love the Bengals as a kid. It's interesting, Yeah,
you know, sort of doing some research before this. You know,
she's associated well with the Runaways, but before they had
their you know, connection to a big label, she left
the band. So I guess she didn't sit around too

(20:34):
long because the Bengals came along and they were like
big hitters all through the eighties. I got to see
the Bengals actually, so I got to see her in person.
Oh gee, when was that Probably like fifteen years ago,
twenty years ago. I can't remember. It's quite a while now,
but yeah, I wouldn't have missed that for anything. That
was really great.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
Definitely, And of course the modern generation got a little
bit of a reboost of the Bengals as well, because
it was long. Like Gilmore is one of her favorite
bands on Gilmore Girls. So yeah, there was a lot
of references to the Bengals on that show. But we're
gonna sit back now. We're going to take a listen
to Manic Monday featuring Mickey with the Bengals.

Speaker 8 (21:32):
Already.

Speaker 22 (21:33):
I was just in the middle of the stream. I
was kissing Valentina, my Crystaltelli stream.

That's math Sunday.

Speaker 14 (23:51):
I don't have to run day. It's just another manic Monday.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
She worked. Now, we are continuing our Runaways deep dive
right now on Subculture. This time around, we're going to

(24:19):
talk to the Lady of the Hour. We're going to
have Shari Curry on the show in just a little bit.
But first of all, let's have a look at what
happened to her career post the Runaways. Now, she released
a solo album kind of just before the Runaways that
officially broke up, called Beauty's Only Skin Deep, And then

(24:40):
in nineteen eighties, she actually teamed up with her twin
sister Marie for an album as well, And we're going
to play a track off that in just a Moment
with Messing with the Boys, which is also kind of
a weird track because the band in the background is
actually Toto, which is which is kind of weird. So

(25:02):
she also found chart success with a few of her
covers that she did as well, and also got some
acting work as well, with the most notable performance there
being in Foxes with Jodie Foster. Now, because of her
past demons, she re actually became a drug counselor for
addicted teams and during the nineteen nineties and she married

(25:25):
actor Robert Hayes and together they had a son called Jake,
who is now in her band now. The couple divorced
in nineteen ninety seven. Sie still records music. Of course.
Just a few years ago we had her on to
talk about her brand new album, which all comes out
now through Joan Jet's Record labels, so there's another little

(25:48):
tie in there as well. She also went across at
one point and was working with the German based rock
clamb metal band called Shameless for a little while as well.
So she's been doing a lot and something that you
and I saw a little bit of on the weekend
as well, not hers, but somebody else's Theresa So a
well renowned chainsaw carver as well. Harley.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yes, we did see some chainsaw art on the weekend.
Nothing gross, people, It was genuinely carved sculptures from tree
trunks and such. But yeah, I'd love to see her art. Actually,
it's interesting, you know, she brought out Boulevards of Splendor

(26:33):
and I was sort of I've been in the research,
been watching a few things, and apparently she was quite
cut up. She'd been trying to release that for a
long time and there was so many issues stopping it
from coming out, so I think it had been a
long awaited thing. So it's good that she still out

(26:55):
there doing stuff. And you know, despite all the kind
of setback she had, you know, kind of not taking
off in the solo career after the Runaways and then
all the addiction issues, but she turned that into a
positive and started helping other people. I think she's got
an amazing story.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah, definitely, And we're gonna hear a little bit of
that story a little bit later on when SHEI actually
joins us because she's about to do her final ever
Australian tour in the next couple of months, so we're
going to have her on in just a moment to
chat all about that. But before we do that, we've
got some more band members to go through. But first
of all, we are actually going to play the track

(27:37):
that Shari recorded with her twin sister Marie. We're going
to take a listen to Messing with the Boys.

Speaker 23 (27:56):
Coming to me with some desuming that it's like a fool,
We'll copy to Slack and let me top sit back.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
I know what to do the for this thing.

Speaker 24 (28:12):
You can start messing with the most start they told me.

Speaker 8 (28:17):

Speaker 10 (28:19):

Speaker 8 (30:56):
You can stop messing with.

Speaker 5 (30:58):
Your car stop.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
And welcome back to subculture. Well, we're going through the
members of the Runaways right now and looking at where
they ended up post Runaways. The next cab off the
rank is actually Leader Ford, who, like Joan Jett and
She Recurry, has had a pretty successful solo career after
finishing up with the Runaways. She released a few albums

(31:48):
in the nineteen eighties underneath the guidance of manager Sharon Osborne,
and in fact, one of her first singles to chart
was actually a duet with Ozzy Osborne called Close My
Eyes Forever. Now. Leda was actually married to Chris Holmes
of WASP for a little while, and then also to

(32:08):
NITO singer Jim Gillette, who she had two sons with,
and then she kind of took a little bit of
a break, Carlie from recording or anything like that. She
took a break of almost a decade and suddenly came
back onto the music scene when in the summer of
two thousand and eight she started to play at a
few rock festivals, including Rock the Value. She then quickly

(32:33):
followed that up with her first studio album in fourteen years,
called Wicked Wonderland. And then going into the heavy metal world.
Because since then she's been touring as a special guest
with progressive metal band Queens Reich, who we've had of
course on Subculture after Dark, and she actually did a

(32:55):
cover of her Close My Eyes Forever track with Ozzie.
She did a cup of that with the Quiet Queen's
right lead singer Jeff Taate. So she's kind of gone
from punk to rock and now into metal.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Yeah, she's done quite a bit. But then you know,
she's another one who's gonna gone through some hard times
behind the scenes as well. Like you know, she married
Jim Gillette and had the two sons, like you said,
but when they divorced, apparently he stopped her from seeing
those kids, so she didn't get to see her kids
for like ten years or something. And I'm not sure

(33:35):
what the situation is like now, but that's got to
be quite hard to try and live your life, deal
with the separations, you know, the personal issues with the
ex husband, plus you know, being separated from your children
as a mother's got to be quite difficult. So yeah,

(33:55):
that she can push through and then you know, re
create here your career again is pretty impressive.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Definitely well we're going to take a listen now to
lead a forward's duet with Ozzy Osborne Colled close my
eyes forever.

Speaker 14 (34:15):
David, I get to scared sid Tommy on stands Neal Mine.

Speaker 5 (34:31):

Speaker 13 (34:32):

Speaker 14 (34:55):
Jeez it closed my eyes.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
Sometimes it's not to.

Speaker 14 (35:22):
My lack of gallows. It just appeared from my blade.

Speaker 8 (35:39):
Everything just shut, dag and Gray.

Speaker 20 (35:48):
It appears shot.

Speaker 15 (35:57):
Change shot, well, un.

Speaker 8 (36:25):
Just don't you ever trust.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
That I.

Speaker 8 (37:28):
Don't want to sack.

Speaker 5 (37:35):
If I could have some, I'm.

Speaker 13 (37:42):
Like a cat.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
And welcome back to subculture. Well, we're still working our
way through the various Runaways members to see where they
ended up after the Runaways, and we're going to do
the last three together because the last three pretty much
did not go on with music careers after the Runaways.
First of all, there was Vicky Blue Now. After leaving
the Runaways, she shifted to focus into film and television production.

(38:30):
So she has worked as a producer director on television
shows including Entertainment, Tonight, Access, Hollywood, Real Stories, at the
Highway Patrol. She's even produced a documentary on the Runaways
called edge Play. She's also done other music documentaries as well,

(38:51):
including Naked Underleather, which was a documentary about Susie Quatro,
but unfortunately that's only ever done the festival circuit. I
had to look for it online and it's actually never
been released online or anything like that. She's also done
some work on documentaries on the Begs, and she's now

(39:12):
working on an animated series as well. Following up from Vicky,
there is Jackie Fox of course as well. Now she
turned away from just about everything. She went back to
college after she finished with the band and got a
Bachelor of Arts in linguistics. She then later became a
Harvard Law School graduate. So that's a pretty big change

(39:36):
from the music industry.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Alink, especially after the kind of last all of their runaways.

Speaker 6 (39:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
So, she also writes an La Catcare column for Theexaminer
dot com online newspaper. She's also written a novel called
The Well and is currently working on a second novel
right at the moment. Now, what she's probably most notable
for after the Runaways is in July twenty fifteen, after

(40:06):
the death of Fowley, who was the manager of the Runaways.
After his death, Jackie actually revealed that she was raped
by him at a New Year's Eve party in nineteen
seventy five, and she was just sixteen years old at
the time. Shari Curry also spoke up about Foley's actions

(40:28):
towards her as well. And there was a documentary made
a few years ago called look Away, which was about
sexual abuse in the rock industry, and that actually features
a store of the story on what happened to Jackie
Fox on that night. So I guess that kind of
explains that downside of The Runaways as well that people

(40:49):
might not be aware of if they haven't seen the
movie The Runaways from a few years ago.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Yeah, and because they were all so young at the time,
I'm at about fifteen years old, so to be embroiled
in all of this, and you know, they've said in
their own words that you know, they made to feel
like losers if they don't, you know, drink or take
some kind of drugs or something. So they're quite easily

(41:16):
pushed into these things, into this party kind of dynamic,
the rock and royal culture, as they might have said.
And yeah, it probably really was a way to just
influence them and take away their power. There's a lot
of issues that went on behind the scenes, not just
in that regard, but yeah, there's a lot of sadness

(41:40):
the legacy of the Runaways, unfortunately for all the amazing
music they did.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Definitely and the cost. The last member was Laurie mccallistar. Now,
she did have another band after the Runaways called the
Orchards or the Orchards. Sorry, they only had one album,
and I have looked high and low for any of
their music and I cannot find a single thing. So
I'm guessing it was only like a local release tape

(42:07):
or vinyl album because I even asked my dad did
he have a copy in his huge collection, and he
didn't either. So and she officially retired from the music
industry after that release of the album in nineteen eighty
and she became a veterinarian technician and sadly died from
an asthma attack on August twenty fifth, twenty eleven, at

(42:30):
the age of fifty four. So yeah, at the Runaway story,
I guess we can talk a lot about the fact
that they have provided the source for a lot of
the bands that we see today, but they also had
a pretty tragic background as well. So it's been great
to see once like leader Ford and Joan Jet and

(42:53):
she Recurry overcome all of that and be able to
move on with successful careers. Because yeah, like you said before,
for Harley, there's there's a bit of a downside to
the Runaways as well.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Yeah, and you know, we can only hope things are
better now, but you still hear about things going on,
but where you've just got to hope that, you know,
talking about these stories more like use the Runaway as
an example, Like if they're not afraid to speak out
about what happened, let it be a lesson and let

(43:27):
us all kind of like learn from it. You know,
we can make great stuff without having to go through
so much horrible craft as well.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
Definitely, well, we are going to move on now as well.
We're going to celebrate the Runaways and their music. We're
about to play Queens of Noise, and once that track finishes,
I will be joined by Shari Curry and we'll chat
a little bit about her remembering the Runaways, but also
about her brilliant last tour that is about to come

(43:57):
up in just a couple of months time. So yes,
let's celebrate the music of the Runaways. Hollie, Let's play
queens of Noise.

Speaker 18 (44:13):
With a bunch of rough and doza frol rock and
mom you off if you get to.

Speaker 14 (45:26):
Let go and a bed al with me that way
keep wherever.

Speaker 10 (45:32):
You see uh start to say.

Speaker 8 (45:37):
You gave me an an answer. Now I got the answer.

Speaker 12 (45:43):
Oh yeah, pease a noise, come and get it voice?

Please a noise.

Speaker 26 (46:00):
Nine, just wanna sauce. Squeeze a nice come and get

(46:35):

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Well, listeners, you might remember a few years ago I
raved and raved and raved on this show about how
good she recurries last tour of Australia was. It was
one of the most awesome contents I've ever been to
here in Melbourne, and I know the crowd the same way. Well,
Sharia's coming back for her final ever tour of Australia.
So we thought today we would actually get her on

(47:06):
the phone to chat a little bit about this amazing
tour that is coming up. Welcome to the show, Sharie.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
Oh, David's so good to talk to you.

Speaker 15 (47:16):
Yay.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
We like I said, Sari, your last tour here of Australia.
So many people loved those shows, and myself included. I
was at the Melbourne show and it was just a special,
special night. So how are you feeling now coming back
to Australia and doing your final ever tour? How does
that feel for you?

Speaker 27 (47:40):
Well, you know what, because I'm bringing my son this
time and he's going to be on drums and Sandy
West she helped Jake when he first started as a
drummer as well, and it's almost it's almost like Sandy's
on stage with me when Jake is behind the drums
and he's such a chalented guy. And of course he's

(48:00):
got his band Maudlin Strangers where he is the front
guy and he's a fantastic guitar player that's toured with
me over the years. But to have him on drums
and have his band Modlin Strangers backing me as well
as Nick Mayberry who is from Australia and he is
just amazing, and so to have him on lead guitar

(48:23):
and to have these young guys backing me, it just
brings a whole new excitement to the show, a little
different from last time. You know, the guys who are
a little more my age. That's so much fun to
have these just these awesome you I want to say kids.

(48:45):
But you know, one of the guitar player that's going
to be with us is Jake's guitar player, and he's
I think he's twenty one, really young, good looking, So
all the girls will have their eye candy, like you're
coming to see some old folks playing you know, runaway songs.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
It's really going to be a blast.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
Does that almost feel like you're passing the torch in
a sense as well, that you're passing that torch now
down onto your son as well.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
Absolutely, and that is why I'm so happy that he
wanted to do this with me.

Speaker 27 (49:23):
Of course, after the movie came out, Jake was my
rhythm guitar player for a lot of the tours that
I did, but he never went abroad with me. But
now he and his band they're backing me during this
these final shows, and to me nowadays I mean, David,
it's not easy. It's not the way it was in

(49:45):
the seventies when the runaways were happening. It's very difficult
to be seen. There's so many bands, great bands that
I don't think are ever really even given a shot.
So to be able to have Jake and his incredible
talent and his talented musicians with me makes me feel

(50:07):
like I'm doing something very positive for the audience and
for music in general.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
I know, the whole landscape now has changed. I mean
here in Australia now we don't have any television shows
that have live bands on them at all to play
their music, and I think that is a huge loss.
But why do you think that is that it's changed
so much these days that it's actually more difficult for
a band to get hurt, especially in the day of
social media. Because I agree with you, but I find

(50:36):
it's such a weird algorithm that that is the case.

Speaker 27 (50:41):
Well, you know, and I think once I get back
from Australia, I mean, I'm really going to be donating
my time by scouting, which I think that they start doing.
You know, back in the day, there were scouts out
there that were looking for great bands now, it's more

(51:01):
like the industry has gotten very lazy. And also when
you've got TV shows like The Voice or American Idol
or I know you've had shows like that as well,
I think it makes it's almost unreachable for I don't
think Mick Jagger or even Bob Dylan would have won

(51:21):
any of these shows because they you know, they're they're
unique in a way. But I think that they've put
an awful lot of pressure on these very young kids
and sometimes not so young to be just exceptional in
your vocal talent or you know what I mean. It's

(51:42):
and I think so many superstars will not be a
part of our lives in music unfortunately, just simply because
they give up. They give up when they see these
amazing singers that are really pretty unreachable for the majority
of people that were really born to do this. And

(52:03):
like I was born to do this, and there's you know,
I'm not a great singer. I become a good singer,
but I'm not one of these that that is just unreachable.
And I know you understand that your listeners will understand
what I mean. I just feel like we haven't done
in any favors to do these kids that have really

(52:28):
been born to do this by having shows like that.
But I'm amazed that you don't have shows anymore out
there in Australia. Why, I don't know why you would
Why why wouldn't you?

Speaker 19 (52:38):
Well, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (52:39):
We used to have a show called Hey, Hey, It's Saturday,
and they used to have live bands on every Yeah,
every week there was live bands on there. And of
course we had the Classic Countdown Show as well, which
we all grew up watching. But all of the tonight
live kind of shows that are gone here in Australia
now it's all being replaced by reality television. So yeah,

(53:00):
we do get the voice and we get Australia's got
talent and stuff like that, but we just don't have
those shows anymore. Like I used to host a show
called Crosswired, where it was literally live bands coming in
and playing for three hours, but all of that's gone
these days.

Speaker 27 (53:17):
Well, you know, what what comes around goes around, And
that's what I'm really hoping and praying for, because I
really I don't listen to new music anymore simply because
I mean, I'm not into rap. I'm not into you know,
some of these you know, this genre of music that
I can't relate to. I mean, I listened to classic

(53:39):
rock and you know, songs from the from the seventies
and the eighties, which I just think was fantastic. And
that's too bad. It's too bad that we've kind of
let go of what really made music so terrific. But
it will, it will come around again, I promise you.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
David will.

Speaker 25 (53:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
But the thing I have noticed, and I think it's great,
and you'll notice that you'll show as well, is that
these days you get three or four generations of fans
at a show. I noticed, like, I'm getting older now,
I'm nearing fifty. But when I go along to see
bands that I grow up loving, I go along and
there's thirteen and fourteen year old kids there, there's thirty

(54:17):
year olds, there's fifty year olds, and there's seventy year
olds all there in the audience. And I guess, how
do you feel as an artist seeing that when you've
got four generations of music fans in the audience.

Speaker 19 (54:29):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 3 (54:31):
Well, it's fantastic.

Speaker 27 (54:34):
Especially with the Runaways movie, it really opened up a
whole new generation of young kids to our music and
also Guardians of the Galaxy. I mean, how they not
used cherry bomb in that film. That was also a
true gift to me and the Runaways. But I'm looking

(54:55):
so forward because every time I do these tours. You
are absolutely right, you do see generations. Kids there are
very young and kids my age and I'm sixty five,
but you know what, I still feel like I'm in
my thirties.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
So it's just kind of like it just feels right.

Speaker 27 (55:16):
It just feels right, and we appreciate just real simple,
fun rock and roll that everyone can play.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
And everyone can sing.

Speaker 27 (55:24):
And that's what I love about The Runaways music is
that anyone can pick up guitar and play it and
anyone can sing it. And I think that that's why
the Runaways have lasted and become really a new cool
genre for kids nowadays.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
Definitely, And of course you've got such an amazing back
catalog of music as well. How do you go about
picking a set list for a final tour?

Speaker 27 (55:53):
Well, I ask the fans what they want to hear,
and because that's what I'm doing this for, I'm the
only one that does the Runaways songs. And of course
Joan and Leda have gone on with their careers, and
but you know, there is an audience for the Runaways,
so it really is an honor and a privilege to

(56:17):
allow people to have that feeling of nostalgia. And you know,
when I listened to some of the bands that I
grew up with, you know, it's it's it just brings
you back to better times when you know the world
was your oyster. And I think that that's what the
Runaways music does for a lot of a lot of people,
a lot of people that want to buy tickets and

(56:40):
come and see me play. And I'm so grateful and
I appreciate it so much.

Speaker 1 (56:46):
And I also noticed when I was at your show
in Melbourne, I was talking to some of the other
fans and there were a lot of people there who
like me, The Runaways music was meant so much when
we were teenagers because it kind of caps it how
we feeling at the time as well. Do you find
that a lot of people do reach out to you
and say that music still speaks to them after all

(57:06):
of these years.

Speaker 27 (57:08):
Oh yes, absolutely, And and it makes me so proud
because it was a tough time. You know, we were
so young, and even my son when he was sixteen.
My twin sister was married to Steve lucat There of Toto,
so their son, Trevor lucat There is an amazing musician
and when and he asked Jake to tour with him

(57:30):
when Jake was sixteen, and I said, how would you
like your no fast or slow?

Speaker 3 (57:36):
No way?

Speaker 27 (57:38):
And I really realized then just how young we were,
and we did blaze that trail. But you know, Susie Quadro,
I have to always give kudos to her, because if
it wasn't for Susie, I don't think there ever would
have been the Runaways. I know there wouldn't have been
a Jones Jet. And I really hope one day Susie

(57:59):
gets to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame. People always talk about, you know, don't you
think the Runaway should be inducted, And I always say, no,
not if Susie's not inducted first.

Speaker 3 (58:11):
And if that ever did happen, if that ever happened
where they wanted.

Speaker 27 (58:14):
To induct us, I would of course accept graciously, but
then I would hand my award to Susie Quatro because
I'm just that kind of person that knows that without
her none of this would have been possible.

Speaker 1 (58:26):
Definitely, SERI. I know we are fast running out of
time and I could talk to you all day, but
we better wrap that up because I know you've got
other interviews to go to. So I guess to finish off,
what would you like to say to your Australian fans
out there who have already bought tickets to come along
to these shows?

Speaker 27 (58:44):
Oh my gosh, thank you. Thank you for almost fifty years,
some of these fans, almost fifty years of support, and
I am so grateful and I feel very blessed, so
blessed that I was able to be a part of
a group that was a trailblazing group and we just

(59:08):
didn't realize it at the time.

Speaker 3 (59:10):
We just didn't.

Speaker 27 (59:11):
So I looked so forward to meeting everyone at shaking
their hands and saying thank you so much, because without them,
I wouldn't be coming to Australia.

Speaker 3 (59:21):
So thank you, Say you Bullo food Day are the threes?

Speaker 11 (59:27):
The Girl next.

Speaker 28 (59:42):

Nice pose of teenage.

Trapstone make you smile, give you something to them?

Speaker 11 (01:00:56):
F have you on?

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
Rap You Tell You're Sorry, and Welcome back to the show.

(01:01:22):
We're going to continue our look now at the nineteen
seventies and the nineteen eighties music scene by having a
look at some of our favorite singles for that time period. Harley,
tell us a little bit about some of your favorite
singles from the nineteen seventies and the nineteen eighties time period.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
I mean, this is about five shows worth all in itself. Geez,
there is so much and I won't even have remembered
like a quarter of the things. I love a singles
from this time period. But Michael Jackson was one of
my biggest influences when I was little, so you want
to bet that you know just about everything he recorded

(01:02:07):
and released as a single. Wanted to jump on this list,
but I'm going to narrow it down to a couple
of special ones. Smooth Criminal. That song just always comes
back to me as something really special and human nature.
That's my other of the sort of top two Michael

(01:02:29):
Jackson singles. But I will also mention Billy Jean Thriller
and Off the Wall. There's a reason this man was
so successful and titled the King of Pop. There's absolute magic.
But if I was going to really narrow it down,
Smooth Criminal and Human Nature are the other top two there.
She's eighties as well. It was such a big period

(01:02:52):
of like.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
Yeah, and Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson's going to appear on
my best album's list too.

Speaker 2 (01:02:58):
So yeah, they're saying it's kind of head and arrow
this stuff down. And you know, he was with his
brothers in the Jacksons during the seventies as well and eighties,
so I have to mention can you Feel It? Because
that's just a great song. They also had Heartbreak Hotel
and Show the Way to Go. I keep remembering those

(01:03:20):
couple of songs, but can you Feel It, especially as
the one that kind of always comes up. Now if
I can move away from the Jacksons for two minutes,
and I just remembered I didn't mention any of Janet
Jackson's See this list could go on forever. Oh my god. Yeah,

(01:03:42):
I kind of remember discovering Janet Jackson a bit later
than I expected to, well not really later, but you
know at the time, I didn't really know about her
first album, but when I did learn about her first album, well,
I say first album, the first of her ones that

(01:04:03):
she counts these days. There were two albums she recorded
when her father was her manager, and she likes to
not count those as part of her repertoire. But there's
a great song on her first album called the Pleasure Principle,
so that that's a special one. And then in eighty
nine she released the Rhythm Nation album, which, like everything

(01:04:27):
on that is magical as far as I'm concerned. So
a lot of great single that is ad album. Yeah,
But yeah, as for a single, I mean, so much
of what was on that album came out as a
single and it was all great stuff. So I don't
know how to narrow that down. And you know, this

(01:04:47):
is what I said was going to happen. It suddenly
makes me think of something else because she and the
Jackson's discovered Paula Abdul, and within a year Paula Abdul
released her album. I think that was about eighty nine
as well, So I could rattle off a few of those,
but I would have to check the ear was correct

(01:05:08):
on that. But let's go to Prince, another big hitter
of the kind of seventies eighties era. I'm going to
go for singles. I'm going to have to say stuff
like when Doves Cry. You know, when we get to albums,
I'll mention Purple Rain. But it's a great song in

(01:05:29):
its own right. But off that album Let's Go Crazy,
I love that song. So that's that's kind of like
one of my top picks there. And we kind of
briefly spoke off air about you know, ah, where where

(01:05:49):
did the Madonna songs we like fit into all this?
I really love her first album. So there's quite a
few off that I can mention, but there's one that
sort of falls in between albums because of this other
thing she did and a movie as well. So from
there into the Groove, I want to mention that one

(01:06:11):
in particular. Yeah, yeah, Jesus, list is going to go
on and on, you know, Okay, I finally got away
from you know, those big few Fleetwood Mac Dreams, Go
Your Own Way and Rhianna and some of my favorites there.

Speaker 1 (01:06:31):
One of my one of my best friends in high
school was actually named after the track Rhianna.

Speaker 2 (01:06:38):
Let me Guess what her name was. Her name was Steve.

Speaker 1 (01:06:46):
I've got I've got to share this as well. I
love this about Fleetwood Mac. Someone was saying recently about
how about how Taylor Swift writes the best revenge songs
and and payback songs, and somebody pointed out, well, hang
on a minute, you can you can say that that

(01:07:07):
that she writes great revenge songs. But there's only one
artist in history, and that is Stevie Nicks, who wrote
revenge songs about her partner's infidelity while he was in
the band and made him stand beside her while she
was singing songs about what a prick he was.

Speaker 2 (01:07:27):
Yeah, there's a lot of stories about what was going
on in that band and all the inter relationships. It's like, geez,
it's amazing some of the stuff that comes up. But
we could do some weird deep dives into all of this,
couldn't we probably?

Speaker 3 (01:07:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (01:07:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:07:44):
Stevie Nicks, on her own though, just released so many
good songs, you know, Gypsy and all that, So this
could turn into the biggest rabbit hole. This might have
been a mistake.

Speaker 19 (01:07:57):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
I loved the Pointer sisters as well. They had so
many good songs, and they even actually one worth pointing out.
I mean, I loved Neutron Dance and Jump when I
was a little kid. Those two songs will forever live
in my heart. I've got the greatest hits of theirs
that still gets played very frequently. But there's one I'm

(01:08:25):
going to point out, which is kind of and the
odd one. It was kind of like they took up
this challenge of like, you know, people were saying black
artists they don't know how to do like a country music,
so they took up the challenge and did basically a
country album, and they're always remembered for the song fairy Tale,
So yeah, there is something about that song. I'm just like,

(01:08:49):
I'm not a big country person myself, but when that
song comes on, I just love it for some reason.

Speaker 19 (01:08:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:57):
So yeah, I'm going to point that one out. Aretha Franklin.
She's amazing, and so she spans from like the sixties onward,
so there's a lot of stuff you can pull out. Geez,
where to go from there. I think the one I
want to mention is an odd choice because it's a

(01:09:20):
cover of someone else's song, and that is Jumpin' Jack Flash.
I love the way she does that song.

Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
And you know, Woopy Goldberg did the film Jumping Jack
Flash and this was a track from the soundtrack, So
I think that really deserves a mention. Creden's clear Water Revival.
Just for a bit of a change, how about I
love the track? I heard it through the grapevine and

(01:09:51):
Who'll Stop the Rain. I had to make sure that
they fill in the right era as well, because they
released like seven albums in two years, and I'm like,
how does this work? And that was like sixty eight
and sixty nine, so I had to make sure it
was nineteen seventy. Any song I picked one that you know,

(01:10:14):
how about one of those one hit wonder songs? I
want to say Mickey by Tony Basil. Oh, yes, yeah,
it's one of those ones. It just it never kind
of dies. It's like it's been played to death over
the years. But you know what, you just join in
and get pumped whenever it's on. It doesn't matter especially

(01:10:36):
and bring it on, yes exactly. Things like that, Just
like you know, there are movies and things like that
that come up and just bring life back to old
songs as well. There was an anime I watched it

(01:10:56):
was kind of an ongoing series a few years ago,
and I think one of the is it one of
the songs that either appeared in or it may have
been a theme tune or a closing theme tune at
one stage, I think it was, and it was a
cover of a song from the eighties. So that song

(01:11:17):
had to make it onto this chart because I love
it and it's alone by heart ah, yes, yeah, yeah.
And you know what problemed me to think of that
one as well was the fact that we've been talking about,
you know, the Runaways, so based on that, we have

(01:11:37):
to mention Cherrybomb by the Runaways because that song will
always just stand out for me as something special. I
don't know if you know the Arthur movies that Yeah,
so I love those movies so much as a kid
and rediscovered them as an adult. And I know they

(01:12:00):
tried to do a remake with Russell Brand or whatever
his name is, which just a terrible idea. But from
the first ever movie, Christopher Cross did the theme tune.
It was Arthur's theme or yeah, you know, you'll recognize
it if you hear it. Sometimes people don't recognize it

(01:12:22):
by the name Arthur's theme. But you know, if you
get caught between the Moon and New York City, you
know that it's a great sort of lyric and I
love the way he sings as well. He did a
lot of great stuff.

Speaker 19 (01:12:34):
This here.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
I told you this list is going to go on.
A group called Fox did a song called sis a
single Bed, and maybe we should try and play that
one at some point because it's a funny little track.
I don't know how many people remember it, and I
didn't really know about it until a friend I used

(01:12:56):
to ride on the bus with mention it to me
one day when I was, you know, trying to do
singing and stuff myself, and she said, oh, here's a
couple of songs from like the seventies and eighties you
should try and do. And she mentioned these couple of songs,
and that one will for a stay in my head.
It's a funny song. So yeah, if no one's heard it,

(01:13:17):
look look for a Fox and their songs A single Bed.
Oh yeah, what about Pink Floyd another brick in the wall?

Speaker 1 (01:13:27):
Yeah, well that's going to feature in my that that's
actually going to feature in my albums, because did you
realize that album was released on my on the day
I was born.

Speaker 2 (01:13:40):
Oh was it.

Speaker 1 (01:13:40):
Thirtieth or November nineteen seventy nine, yep, on the day
I was born.

Speaker 2 (01:13:46):
Wow, I had no concept. You've been marked by the wall.
You are the brick. I was gonna mention George Benson
had tracks like Breezing, give Me the Night and Turn
Your Love Around is yeah, I love those tracks. He

(01:14:08):
was brilliant. I know someone I didn't add to my
list but I meant to was Stevie Wonder.

Speaker 1 (01:14:15):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:14:17):
I mean I don't even know how I narrow down
what tracks to do for him. I mean, God, maybe
Master Blaster or.

Speaker 3 (01:14:29):
Ah.

Speaker 2 (01:14:30):
Yeah, that's an impossible task right there. I think everything
he's done is being brilliant. I've got the Bengals, I
mean Eternal Flame I think was that the one written
by Prince.

Speaker 1 (01:14:45):
I think it was. Yeah, so which was Territory?

Speaker 2 (01:14:53):
Yes, my ta geez, why did you mention that? I
had her into my head the other day too, and
it's like, oh my god, Yeah, the jeepest Creeper is this?
I told you, this list is going to go on
and on. Look Sly and the family Stone want to
take you higher. That's a great one I mentioned af

(01:15:13):
Air that you know Shakespeare's Sister. Well, we're talking about
you know, acts that have a weird little backstory and
you know things you may not know. But yeah, the
first Shakespeare's Sister album came out in eighty nine with
the There was a single on there called Your History,

(01:15:34):
and that's what I know them. For them, we'll say
them because really it was just Chibone Fey, who came
out of Banana Rama, who started this act as Shakespeare's sister,
but then she would frequently have her friend Marcella Detroit
in the tracks, and then by the second album it

(01:15:54):
was the pair of them as a duo. So there's
a whole kind of rabbit hole in and of itself there.
But to fit within the eighties Your History is pretty
much any one I can fit in there. I think
our grips like Die Straights and oh jeez, what about

(01:16:15):
oh Air? Supply they were formed in Melbourne? I think,
weren't they?

Speaker 1 (01:16:19):
Yeah they were yep.

Speaker 19 (01:16:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
So I'll say like all out of Love is one
I always go back to for them, And one that's
kind of like a rabbit hole in and of itself
is to mention Cyndi Lauper. I love those early albums,
but I'm gonna say narrow it down, but I'm going
to list a few tracks here. Change of Heart, she

(01:16:46):
Bop her cover of I Drove All Night, the Royal
Abison classic Hole in My Heart that goes all the
way to China time after time, and the Goonies are
good enough. Those are my favorite of the like the
eighties tracks, I think, but I'm going to shut up

(01:17:06):
and let you say something for once.

Speaker 1 (01:17:08):
Yeah, mine's a bit the same like my musical tastes
in the eighties and was all over the place. Like
basically my musical tastes early on started with what my
dad was listening to. And my dad was really heavy
into into rock music and hard rock music and if
you include Black Sabbath as metal and metal as well.

(01:17:30):
But I first thought, there's two tracks that I fell
in love with when I was a kid, where where
music stopped being just background noise for me and actually
became something that I was really passionate about. That first
track was def Leopard's Rocket. I remember my dad was

(01:17:51):
watching a I don't know whether it was Countdown or
something like that it was, I know it was a
television show that and my dad was watching it and
the video clip came on for yeah, that's right, kids,
video clips used to be on television. Rocket by Deaf
Leopard came on, and it just hit me like there

(01:18:12):
was something about that track that I just instantly fell
in love with and yeah, like I was asking my dad, oh,
if you've got any def Leopard on vinyl, and I'm
showing my age here. Yeah, he had it on vinyl,
and like, so we pulled that out and listen to that.
The other one was and I still remember this.

Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
Oh my god, you just mentioned vinyl and they just
triggered stuff in my head. I'm just like, you know what,
before you go on, I'm going to mention one more so,
the bridge I loved as a child, and I have
looked up since it's from a Belgian artist named Plastic
Bertram and that's what.

Speaker 1 (01:18:54):
Yeah, all right, please go on. So the other track,
the other track that made me sit up and take
notice of music was Electric Blue by ice House and
I remember this still to this day. I was homesick
from school and ice House was on Ray Martin's Midday
show and they play Electric Blue, and as soon as

(01:19:15):
I was better, I was off down to the local
music shop to buy ice houses. Uh, I think that
would have been vinyl. It could have been a cassette,
but I think that was probably vinyl a copy of that,
because I absolutely loved it. But there's some tracks as well.

Speaker 2 (01:19:33):
Wasn't that the song that was on the soundtrack for
Short Circuit? I think so, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's all
how I remember it. I think, yeah, yeah, Now.

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
These are these other ones are kind of tracks that
didn't fit into my best Album's list because there's a
few tracks that I've left out of my that of
tracks I love. I've left them out of my singles
list because I wanted to talk about them on my
album's list later on. But so these are just kind
of tracks that I go back to time and time

(01:20:05):
again to listen to an almost fire Man in Motion
by John Parr. I don't remember that song.

Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
I kind of like, I can't remember the track properly,
but I do remember knowing about it.

Speaker 19 (01:20:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:20:24):
Another one that it was a It was a the
video clip that kind of drew me into it, and
that's Sarah. You know, I'm sure you know the song, Sarah, Yeah, yeah,
absolutely so yeah, that was another one. Of those ones

(01:20:46):
where I was watching television and the video clip came
on and I saw it was Starship, but it was
so different to what Starship had ever done previously. So yeah,
definitely Sarah by Starship is another one.

Speaker 2 (01:21:00):
That because that propped into my head earlier as well,
and I'm like, who performed that? I'm glad you mentioned it.

Speaker 1 (01:21:09):
Yeah, So some other ones as well for me that
that really kind of stuck out for me was Down
on the Border by the Little River Band when John
Farnham was the lead singer, Because yeah, so that's another
one that really stuck at Lamal Never Ending Story. I

(01:21:35):
absolutely loved. Yeah, I absolutely loved that film when it
came out, and that one just really really stuck with me.
Two from One Band here. I was a really big
fan of Genesis when they first were around, so Invisible

(01:21:55):
Touch and Land of Confusion were both tracks that I
really really a door that were around at that time.
And there was also some Phil Collins tracks in there
as well, because I can remember listening to my dad
listening to Phil Collins in the car as well. But
I think that's probably there was one that I was

(01:22:17):
trying to think of and I've been like I've completely
forgotten the name of the track, but it was it
was like a jungle kind of track where I thought
it was called Tarzan and I was looking up I
was looking it up before, but all I could find
was actually it was actually like some of the pop
songs that were called Tarzan, but it was it kind

(01:22:39):
of had that bit in the middle of the song
where it was like.

Speaker 2 (01:22:41):
Oh like that, like it's a jungle boy. I think
it was called that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:22:47):
Yes, yeah, that's another one that I really remember from
from the eighties as well. But even Abba Abba was very.

Speaker 2 (01:22:57):
I didn't even think of Abba geez. Yeah. See this
list can go on.

Speaker 1 (01:23:03):
Yeah, so like my my I think my parents thought
that Fernando was my favorite song, but I really really
loved some of the tracks where the guys actually sang
as well, but vaulle vous and stuff like that, like
some of the some of the other singles. So yeah,
that's probably for me for something.

Speaker 2 (01:23:22):
You know what you just when you mentioned jungle Boy
made me think of Walk the Dinosaur. Do you remember
that one?

Speaker 19 (01:23:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:23:30):
I love There was also some Belinda Carlo Carlile as well,
but I wasn't one hundred percent sure if that was
if that was nineties or not, but I know there
was a few.

Speaker 2 (01:23:45):
Yeah, Heaven is a Place on Earth and Summer Ring.
I think they may have just made it to eighty nine.
I'm not sure, it's very close, but yeah, I loved
Belinda Carlile.

Speaker 1 (01:23:57):
And another one I probably should also mention as well
was because I was my dad was in the heart
big time. I really remember. All I want to do
is make love to you by heart of course. Yeah, so,
which was another brilliant track. But yeah, I'll skip off
the singles now. We'll play some of the singles that

(01:24:18):
we've talked about, and then we'll come back and talk
about albums, because there's a lot of the singles that
I love from the eighties that really just come from
the albums that I love during that period. So let's
take a break and listen to some of these singles,
and then we'll be back in a moment and we'll
talk about some of the albums that we fell in
love with during that period as well.

Speaker 5 (01:25:00):
But when.

Speaker 8 (01:25:02):

Speaker 1 (01:31:25):
After almost twelve billion streams on social networks and numerous
number one hits under their belt, five finger Death Punchers
celebrating their twentieth anniversary with the release of a brand
new album called Best Of Volume One, a collection of
re recorded versions of the band's most iconic chart topping
hits available everywhere right now. The move to rerecord these

(01:31:49):
tracks came in response to the recent sale of the
band's original master recordings by their former label, an action
made without their knowledge or the opportunity to reclaim their work.
Not to be defeated, the band decided that they were
going to re record their most iconic tracks and give
it to you the public with their Best Of Volume One.

(01:32:09):
It'll be available right across all the streaming platforms and
will also be released worldwide in physic with physical CDs
and vinyl formats. There are also a whole bunch of
merch copies as well going out there, so make sure
you check Five Finger Death Punch's website for more information
on how to grab a copy of Best Of Volume One. Well, listeners,

(01:32:31):
we are going to continue our look now at nineteen
seventies and nineteen eighties music. We have got Nick Gardner,
who has been on this show before. He is one
of the most trusted music journalists that I know. And
if Nick doesn't know something about music that it's not
worth knowing. Nick of course presents his own show called
Built for Speed on Southern FM in Melbourne, and we

(01:32:54):
thought today we would actually get him on the phone
and hear his thoughts about the top album of the
seventies and the eighties. So welcome to the program, Nick, Hi, Dave,
and maybe thanks for a very flattering your production.

Speaker 19 (01:33:07):
I have maybe thanks for that.

Speaker 1 (01:33:11):
So Nick, we're doing this very special day to day
on the show because we of course have Sharik Curry
as a guest on the show from The Runaways. I
was wondering if before we got to your top list,
tell us your thoughts on the Runaways, because of course
they have been such an influential band. Apart from the
fact I are only around for four years, they've had

(01:33:32):
such a a push towards pop culture and everything in
today's society, of course with the Christian Stewart movie a
few years ago, but also they're a band that's that's
really spoken to artists like the Super Jesus and Lash
and the Donners in the modern day landscape. So what

(01:33:54):
are your thoughts on The Runaways and what they've done
for the music industry in particular, Yeah.

Speaker 25 (01:34:00):
Hugely influential band, and I think probably underrated in a
lot of ways. They've got some really good hard rock music,
and they were kind of musically between hard rock and punk,
and they've collaborated with bands in both those genres. I
think they might have done some stuff with John Lydon

(01:34:21):
as well said, or Steve Jones, and as a movie
showed interesting personalities and got together in a pretty vomatile
time and now receiving the kind of accolades and respect
that they were doing.

Speaker 1 (01:34:38):
We've been as well, I said before. We've all been
talking about our favorite nineteen seventies and nineteen eighties tracks
and albums on the show today, So let's get into
your list of your top albums for that period.

Speaker 25 (01:34:52):
Have you look at the nineteen seventies, of course, it
was an amazing time for music, the diversity of genres
that came out of First up, you had the big
rock bands from the sixth were inventive and diverse in
sound that had all sorts of influences. Then you had

(01:35:15):
different subgenres developing in the seventies of metal, hard rock,
glam punk, new wave, reggae, disco, and power pomphenomenal time.

Speaker 3 (01:35:28):
For music and.

Speaker 25 (01:35:29):
All those Millennials and gen zs. When you listen to
an old gray gen X saying how good the seventies were, well,
they're actually right. They were at a really amazing time
and in a lot of ways more familiar to people
broadly because there were kind of central hubs of like

(01:35:50):
countdown on certain TV shows and radio stations that probably
more people across a spectrum society listened to say, there
was kind of a broader knowledge of a lot of
the music, whereas it's very fragmented now. There's still just
as much good stuff, but everyone's sort of in their little,
sort of gata community of preferred music. But in terms

(01:36:14):
of favorite albums, of course, as I mentioned, just find
at the top five, just a few mentions. I was
saying that some of the really big bands of the
sixties put out some of the best work in the
early seventies. Two really good examples were Who Were Who's
Next from nineteen seventy one, which is a remarkable still

(01:36:36):
sounds really inventive and fresh when you listen to it
now you think it couldn't be from fifty five years ago.

Speaker 19 (01:36:44):
And also, of course the classic.

Speaker 25 (01:36:45):
Rolling Stones album Exile on Main Street from nineteen seventy two,
and also in there you had Rabi a Birdman in
that nineteen seventy seven with one of Australia's earliest punk
albums and absolutely rocks today.

Speaker 19 (01:37:02):
The album Radios appear.

Speaker 25 (01:37:04):
Just having a look at my first of top five
of the nineteen seventies, and this is leaving out a
ton of really great influential stuff.

Speaker 19 (01:37:12):
And I don't examin a Bowie album in here, but
I do like his stuff.

Speaker 25 (01:37:17):
The number five six Pistols, never mind the Bollocks had
to be in the top five, just revolutionized music and
such a corrosive sound. I remember hearing that the first
time and I thought my brother was playing. I thought
he was playing some Daraleks from Doctor Who Was That
they'd sort of done an episode where they grabbed electric guitars.

(01:37:37):
Just a phenomenal sound and had a sort of corrosive
political consciousness and attitude as well. That just really shook
up the music business and still has that impact today.
On a completely different note, At number four, I had
Neil Young's After the gold Rush, which took those sort

(01:37:59):
of pastoral, kind of folky influences that are really emphasized
on the Harvest album, but combined it with that darker
I suppose Vietnam Watergate eras sort of cynicism and sensibility,
and yeah, it was sort of gloomier songs, but melodic

(01:38:19):
as well and really affecting and track the track I
reckon it's his strongest album, number three. And this might
be a bit controversial amongst Zeppelin fans, but I've led
Zeppelin three from nineteen seventy probably stands up as my
favorite Zeppelin album, as they had lots of great displayed
up hard rock songs on there, like the Immigrant Song

(01:38:41):
and Celebration Day, but also experimented with some different sounds.
They expanded their sort of folky stylings on that and
did some unusual kind of production and studio tricks and
has I reckon what probably my favorite Zeppelin song since
I've Been Loving You, which is a great kind of

(01:39:01):
bluesy epic that probably my all time favorite guitar solo
from Jimmy Page on that one at number two. Not
this one's not normally in your sort of rolling Stone
pitch for kind of lists of the greatest albums of
all time, but in terms of the nineteen seventies. This
is one of my absolute favorites, and I'm kind of

(01:39:24):
cheating a bit here, I must admit I've got the
complete Budhacarn album of Cheap Trek.

Speaker 19 (01:39:31):
Now, admittedly the original Boudacard album.

Speaker 25 (01:39:34):
This one actually came out in nineteen ninety five, but
this was a concert from nineteen seventy eight. The original
Blood of Botacan just had about half the concert and
then they sort of filled that out with a double CD.
So I'm going to treat a bit and have the
complete Bootacan, which is Cheap Trick's real greatest hits when

(01:39:55):
they're at their absolute peak, and they were sensation alive
and the tracks, most of the tracks sand better live
of the non record, and they just defined power up
in the late seventies, combining those big sort of ACDC
style risk with the Beatlesque melodies and their own sort
of wacky sense of humor. Number one an album that

(01:40:17):
Rolling Stone Magazine whacked into the nineteen eighties in their
list from many years ago. But I'm going to have
it as a seventies album because it came out in
nineteen seventy nine, and that's London calling. But the clash
of Gods my number one album of the nineteen seventies,
just a bit like the sort of punk white album

(01:40:40):
I think it was, might have been a triple disc
in the original vinyl version and covers an amazing range
of musical styles, some punk tarn't rock, but also sort
of reggae and scar and all sorts of different sounds.
I think they have been a bit trained the real

(01:41:03):
sort of music, I suppose Fishy Andado's and are probably
a bit constrained by the limitations of the paint template.
Then they just unleashed with this one and crowded by
the most amazing albums of all time, and then Why
Money the number one album of the seventies.

Speaker 1 (01:41:20):
Which also got a real boost as well when they
did the Friends London episode as well, which was one
of the most watched episodes of Friends of course, with
London Calling playing as the cast were running across London Bridge,
and I think a lot of younger generation people back
then discovered them for the first time because of that.

Speaker 25 (01:41:40):
Yeah, absolutely think, well, that's a really sort of raw
and different sound, and so yeah, that can happen with
the use of different media these days, like we saw
with Kate Bush in Stranger Things.

Speaker 1 (01:41:55):
Yeah, definitely, yep, And I'm sure a lot of people
are eagerly anticipating eating the new season of Stranger Things
because they've promised even more nineteen eighties music, which leads
us to the next part of your list, the nineteen
eighties albums.

Speaker 25 (01:42:11):
Yeah, absolutely, And of course the ninet eighties were starkly
different from the the seventies in a lot of ways.
It's remarkable to think about how much of a cultural
change there was over that period, given that if you
have a look at people from about two thousand and
fifteen or two thousand and five, it's not much different

(01:42:35):
to how they look today as fashions and cultural style.

Speaker 1 (01:42:41):
Yeah, it's interesting like that as well. We were having
a discussion with a musician. Yeah, we were having a
discussion with a musician on our show a few weeks
ago that said that it's kind of weird where we
are now because it's forty years since the eighties, which
for most of the artists during the eighties was the
same period of time that had come from World War Two.

(01:43:03):
So it's like, it's so weird nowadays that the eighties
or forty years ago.

Speaker 25 (01:43:08):
Yeah, it's interesting that we've had such technological change in
up people, but in terms of sort of popular culture
and the way people look that it seems to slow
down the.

Speaker 19 (01:43:19):
Extent to which that changes.

Speaker 1 (01:43:21):
Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 25 (01:43:23):
Of course the eighties, different sounds emerged. A lot of
it was of course early on music was influenced by
new waves and kind of keyboards coming into music a
lot more, and different sort of vocal styles and new
romantic as well, and a sort of dance pop. It

(01:43:45):
became sort of, I suppose that the standard model from
a lot of eighties music. I had to say at
the time, that's why I really got into the alternative stuff.
I was thinking, what the hell is going on? Like
it's had a sticky kind of feel a lot of
the aes, and I really disliked some of the real

(01:44:06):
mainstream production techniques that gated. Read the drums, which sounded
sort of cannon shot drum sound and sort of wimpy
electric keyboards. It sounded like they weren't plugged in. And Yeah,
but felt back even into some of those mainstream tracks

(01:44:26):
now you think actually they were actually pretty good, some
pretty decent songwriting, and of course there was this vast
kind of underground reservoir of alternative music that was siloed
off from the mainstream, where you said the phenomenal range
of artists just doing really adventive things, and that's where

(01:44:48):
obviously a lot of my third albums come from. I'll
just mention again a few runners out before I get
into top five. One you and I were talking about
the other day, and this is a big mainstream band,
The Bengals first album called all Over the Place from
nineteen eighty four, completely very much overlooked because they followed

(01:45:09):
it up with Manic Monday and walked like an Egyptian,
which would big hits.

Speaker 19 (01:45:13):
But I think this is a much better record.

Speaker 25 (01:45:15):
It's a very much like a Beatles album from about
nineteen sixty five.

Speaker 1 (01:45:20):
Yeah, And of course there's a very very strong Runaways
connection there as well, with Mickey going from the Runaways
to the Bengals.

Speaker 19 (01:45:28):
Yeah, I had that crossover of talent there.

Speaker 25 (01:45:32):
Of course, Guns and Hoses became probably the biggest man
in the world during the nineteen eighties and really kind
of not so much heralded, but it ensured that main
kind of breakthrough into the mainstream of metal. Suddenly metal
was the biggest thing in the world in the late eighties,
which felt a bit odd, but it was good to

(01:45:55):
see and probably still the strongest album I reckan of
that sort late eighties metal appetite for destruction. The Smiths,
of course, were sort of the emblematic British band of
the nineteen eighties and divisive in a lot of ways
and still are in quite a few ways, but really

(01:46:16):
defined a sort of a very witty kind of Oscar
Wild influenced lyrical style and brought back some of the
sort of jangly pop sounds of the late nineteen sixties
with Johnny Maher's great guitar work. Just a couple of
months frog into the top top five. Of course, we
had the jam who were hugely successful, sort of emerged

(01:46:40):
from punk into new wave and lots of great records,
particularly Sound Effects is a big favorite of mine, and
You too, maybe the biggest band of the eighties the
first I reckon. The first four albums are actually still
really strong and come up really well and really nice
mixture of some pop sensibilities but also a bit of

(01:47:01):
punk and new wave in there as well, and different
sort of guitar sounds from the edge and great vocals
from I do like the Boy album of nineteen still
track the track my favorite there, but also unforgettable buyers
great as well, and public. Kennedy of course redefined rap

(01:47:24):
and hip hop with It takes a nunch oft of billions.
Really inventive record too, but just.

Speaker 3 (01:47:31):
My top five.

Speaker 25 (01:47:33):
Probably the sort of Transatlantic equivalent of the Smiths over
in the US was ram in terms of defining a
particular alternative music sound at the time, and their album
Murmur from nineteen eighty three is probably still comes up
as as again track the track the best one of

(01:47:54):
the nineteen eighties, great atmospheric record and great songwriting. I
had at number five, number four an album that not
too many people would have heard of. It's Johnson by
the Pontiac Brothers, and they were a and who are
kind of influenced by the Rolling Stones and punk at
the same time, so that their sound is a bit

(01:48:17):
like that, a little bit of cowpunk in there, I suppose.
But Johnson from nineteen eighty eight is just a great
hard rock record from start to finish, really good. Risks
and Tunes has guest appearance from Ian mclagant, who is
a keyboardist with the band of Faces, Rod Stewart's old band,
so it brings that a bit of a classic rock

(01:48:40):
and these sort of rollicking piadow sound to that record
and definitely worth checking out. I haven't heard of those
guys are the Pontiac Brothers. The number three you had
the Stone Roses and their self titled debut album which
they never bet it the follow it was sort of
a of the guitar workout, not much more, and they

(01:49:02):
weren't great live, We're going to say when I saw
them in about ninety five, but that first album, which
combines eighties alternative and nineteen sixties psychedelia with great tunes
and interesting guitar work from John Squire, still stands up
as a great record. Another one that's pretty well known

(01:49:24):
from that period. I had at number two the Pixies
with Too Little and you could have picked Surfer Rosa
or a few other Pixies albums, but I think this
still stands up as their strongest one, with cracks like
making Going to Heaven and Here Comes Your Man at
this sensational record with that Faint Blacks exen Chrispy and

(01:49:49):
the sound, but really influenced a lot of bands. But
at number one, For me, the man who in many
ways defined the nineteen eighties is the Replacements, who were
again influenced by the Rolling Stones and probably the Sex

(01:50:11):
Pistols in terms of their rebellious attitude, and they combined
also a bit of classic rock with more of a
funk found. Their first album from about nineteen eighty one
was kind of like a mix of Black Flag and
the Ramones. But then, as we mentioned with the Clash,
they broke out of the template and lead singer and

(01:50:34):
guitarists and songwriter Paul wester Berg to shape what an
amazing kind of Paul McCartney esque songwriting talent he was
on their subsequent albums, and probably my favorite of their's
is tim from nineteen eighty five, which was their first
album on a major label. They had this big groundswell

(01:50:54):
of support from alterned to music fans and the mainstream
record companies picked them up and yeah, I think put
out their best record. It's kind of ragged heart rock
and post punk and power pop, but also with moving
ballots and a few sort of snarky novelty tracks as well,
but a bit of a quiet taste, but one that

(01:51:17):
I certainly a quiet and you know just about all
their stuff, and if my money, that probably wouldn't necessarily
be on those people's list of best hospit Tim by
the Replacements stands up as my favorite of the nineteen eighties.

Speaker 1 (01:51:34):
Well, that is an absolutely brilliant listen, Nick, it was
funny when you were reading out some of those bands
and the albums and the tracks for those albums. It
took me back to a compilation album that I'd bought
when I was a kid called Techno Sucks, and it
had the Pixies and it had guns and roses and
the Stone Roses on it, and yeah, it's just it

(01:51:57):
was a weird time of music for the eighties because,
of course, as you said, it was like just about
every genre was living together, but there was seen to
be this this real divide when techno music came in
that kind of like really pushed the rock bands to
start doing pompilations like Techno Sucks.

Speaker 25 (01:52:16):
It was a weird Yeah, there's a weird use that
we're spends the media about divisiveness recently, but it was
a strange sense of the separation between genres. Remember when
I Smith collaborted with one DMC and various sort of
middle bands collaborated rap artists. I was like, oh my god,

(01:52:38):
this is unbelievable. Yeah, there you've got this sort of
hybrid of all sorts of different styles.

Speaker 1 (01:52:46):
Definitely.

Speaker 19 (01:52:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:52:47):
You think of bands like Lincoln Park and body Count
and artists like that where they've really incorporated different different
genres into their music, and that's definitely been a move forward. Well, Nick,
I want to say thank you for coming on the
show today and giving us those lists because they are
absolutely brilliant list and I'm sure a lot of our
listeners out there are going to go out and hunt

(01:53:09):
down some of that music and hopefully we'll get you
back on the show now that we're we're back doing
music lists and things like that, because we know that
you love to put a good list together.

Speaker 19 (01:53:19):
I do love a.

Speaker 1 (01:53:22):
All right mate, Well, we're going to play some of
the tracks now from some of those albums that you
just mentioned, So thank you so much, and we'll get
you back on the show very very soon.

Speaker 1 (01:58:55):
Spos and welcome back. Well, we hope you love those

(01:59:18):
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 (01:59:32):
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

(01:59:53):
love that album. I still listen to it today. Yeah,
there was something special there.

Speaker 1 (02:00:00):
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 19 (02:00:18):
I know like that.

Speaker 2 (02:00:19):
I think that shocked me as well at the time.
It's like, why wouldn't you include that on there?

Speaker 19 (02:00:24):
It's like, what.

Speaker 2 (02:00:26):
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 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

(02:00:49):
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,
pro Bow Rain is brilliant. And I was trying to
think of the name of this album, and yep, sure
enough it was still in the eighties. Around the world,

(02:01:10):
I love that album. Yeah. 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 earlier ones. I really liked. Parade of course,
has tracks like Kiss and all that you know people

(02:01:36):
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 nineteen eighty seven apparently,
and I really love that album. There's some great tracks
that came off Sign at the Times. I can't believe

(02:01:56):
that was still in 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 to play
and sing those songs myself to this very day, over

(02:02:17):
and over. Yeah, I know you're going to mention a
Madonna album as well.

Speaker 1 (02:02:26):
I'm actually not because mine was in the nineties. I
realized the Madonna album, Oh that's right, Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 19 (02:02:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:02:35):
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 hits like like a Virgin

(02:02:55):
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 special place for me. Again,

(02:03:18):
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, the tracks I really loved when

(02:03:39):
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 Wreatha Franklin songs do. I mention

(02:04:03):
I'm gonna pick two of her albums. One from the seventies,
Lady Sings the Blues. A lot of her great tracks
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 the Jumping Jack Flash, the song

(02:04:27):
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.

Speaker 1 (02:04:43):
Know, it was that day were talking about.

Speaker 2 (02:04:51):
Yes, you know, but you know. And I didn't mention
in the singles th 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

(02:05:13):
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 I encourage people to
go and just check it out. It's something different. So
of the time, it was maybe even a little bit

(02:05:35):
before its time coming out in nineteen eighty, it was
like a new trend forming or something. But yeah, check
out Get Wet by Get Wet.

Speaker 24 (02:05:46):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:05:47):
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 just doing amazing stuff, which you know, was a
film version of a stage play. So I recommend if

(02:06:08):
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
just go on record. There who I thought, I want
to mention it. I mentioned Shakespeare's Sister when we're talking
about you know, great singles of the seventies and eighties.

(02:06:31):
So yeah, their first album was called Sacred Heart, and yeah,
definitely worth a listen. You might even you know, if
you 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

(02:06:54):
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, 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

(02:07:14):
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 about eighty nine, and that's the
one where she did the cover of Roy Orbison's A
Droga All Night. But like all the tracks on there
are brilliant and could tell she was developing and changing

(02:07:38):
her kind of style at the time, so it's a
nice kind of yeah, sneak peek, it's seeing like where
she's come from, where she's going, What is she going
on too? Because 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 and albums. They're the

(02:08:03):
ones I could I could bring to mind properly, so
I know you've got the pressure ones to mention though.

Speaker 1 (02:08:08):
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,

(02:08:35):
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're 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.

(02:08:57):
I was like, oh my goodness, like I'm falling more
and more in love with Michael Jackson's music.

Speaker 19 (02:09:01):
Like it was.

Speaker 1 (02:09:04):
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
an album in nineteen eighty eight and then I and

(02:09:25):
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
more of the tracks that they had recorded during the
eighties but not made onto albums, And it's just got

(02:09:48):
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, just so many great Pet Shop Boys tracks.

(02:10:09):
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,
which I think was a double album, and it was

(02:10:30):
kind of a best of but reworking some rare versions
of some of their bigger tracks, and then I went
on to 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
the most perfect, perfect electro albums that you're ever likely

(02:10:55):
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 learnt to love it even more. Bad out
of Hell by meat Loaf, It's hard to believe that's
actually a seventies album that came out in nineteen seventy seven,

(02:11:19):
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
it's only seven songs long, but some of those songs
go for like nearly twenty minutes. Yeah, if you take

(02:11:42):
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
of people in Australia these days laugh when they hear
meat Loaf because of the disaster that happen and at
the AFL Grand Final, But when you go back and

(02:12:03):
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 songwriter,
but just an amazing musician, not only vocally but also
with the tracks that they were that they were putting

(02:12:23):
together as well. I'm also 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
I was talking to you before Harley about off air

(02:12:44):
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
in ninety They had an album come out in nineteen

(02:13:04):
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
didn't know what it meant, but yeah, it was it

(02:13:27):
was on Crazy Nights. But yeah, just a 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
Crazy Nights. I think it's a kind of underrated album

(02:13:52):
that we don't talk about probably as often as we should.
Let's have a look on my list here.

Speaker 2 (02:14:00):
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
that 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

(02:14:23):
looking at. I thought, surely that would have had to
have come later, because it sounded a kind of like
a later thing as well. Yeah, 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

(02:14:44):
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 much to be
remembered for. Yeah, a lot of stuff will get overlooked
quite unfairly.

Speaker 1 (02:14:59):
Yeah, 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 then the album that
we talked about before that actually came out on the
day that I was Born, The Wall by Pink Floyd,

(02:15:22):
just 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

(02:15:43):
is probably not the track that a lot of other
people would 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 a CDC and all of

(02:16:06):
that that I love as well.

Speaker 2 (02:16:07):
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 (02:16:20):
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,

Speaker 14 (02:43:24):
As a press crist there's a criss.

Speaker 5 (02:43:47):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (02:44:23):
Yeah, nobody's going to change me.

Speaker 1 (02:44:51):
And that's it for the nineteen seventies nineteen eighties inspired
episode of Subculture, Harley, this has been so much fun.
Why in a couple of weeks time, let's do a
nineties one, Why don't we?

Speaker 2 (02:45:03):
Yeah, we had a little idea that we should do
something like that, and I think you said, maybe we
have to split it into two, because there's that first
half where you know that change comes in, and then
there's the second half where there's a whole lot of
new stuff comes in to kind of set up for
the two thousands as well. So it's like there is

(02:45:24):
a lot in there, and I suppose it's a lot
of stuff that we really lived through as we were
developing more and more interest in music as it was
at the time.

Speaker 1 (02:45:36):
Yeah, I was. I was in high school in the nineties,
so yeah, especially those early nineties, I was in high school,
so it was kind of like learning about new music.
But the nineties were a very interesting time because from
nineteen ninety to ninety ninety five, I guess even up
to ninety seven, you kind of had that time where
alternative music became the new pop, where you had grun

(02:46:00):
had alternative rock and hard rock really going into the charts.
Nick Gardner and I had a talk off air when
we're talking about the fact that it was a weird
time to work in radio because you had tracks like
Nirvana's Rape Me, which you weren't supposed to play on
commercial radio, but it went into the charts so you

(02:46:22):
had to play it. And then from ninety five to
ninety nine you kind of had the pop invasion come back.
You had a lot of European pop, you had a
lot of the boy bands really dominating the charts. So
it was like there was two distinct parts of the nineties.
You had the alternative grunge first start to the nineties,

(02:46:44):
and then you had the pop invasion coming back in
the later years. But you also had a real push
for Australian music during that time as well. You had
bands like Agitator, Super Jesus. Yeah, there was just a
magic dirt. Bands like that were really becoming the mainstream,
which hadn't happened for a while. So yeah, we should

(02:47:06):
definitely do a nineties episode in a few weeks.

Speaker 2 (02:47:08):
Time, I think, I know, I think we're already halfway
into it.

Speaker 1 (02:47:14):
But yeah, Look, we do do a lot of stuff
outside of the radio shows, So Harley, where can people
go to check out some of the stuff that we've
been doing, especially considering we've had no film stuff on
today's show, So where can they go for film reviews?
Especially with the Melbourne International Film Festival just starting as well.

Speaker 2 (02:47:35):
Wow, yeah, absolutely no choices. You have to go to
subculture Entertainment dot com. Hopefully there'll be something very fresh
up there by the time you're hearing this show. That
is very timely, so I recommend looking right away while
you're listening to me, quickly type in the address check

(02:47:56):
it out. It's all good subculture Entertainment dot com. But
also be sure to follow us on the socials because
you'll see what we've just checked out. Especially when it
comes to Melbourne International Film Festival, you'll probably see us
coming out of the cinema for a few things that
we've just seen will give you a bit of a

(02:48:17):
teaser to whet your appetite. So look for Subculture Entertainment
on Facebook, Discord, Twitter or x Blue Skies. Look for
Subcultured Dave on Instagram and threads. And if you really
love us in there's still not enough on the website
because it doesn't all make it into this show. Then

(02:48:39):
there's even more stuff that's not on the website at
Patreon dot com. Just look for Subculture Entertainment and yeah,
sign up, you get a week free and you know,
if you like what's there. We have new content going
up every week or two. So there's heaps on the heaps,
and heaps like David's prolifically being put up stuff that

(02:49:01):
predates the radio version of this show. So we've got
an archive and a half.

Speaker 1 (02:49:07):
There definitely, and look out for us at some of
the Myth screenings as well. Next week on the show,
we'll start looking at some of the Myth films and
we'll also chat to a couple of the directors that
have got films on in Myth as well. But to
look out for us all at the festival. I'll be
the pasty white guy wandering around going, oh, what does

(02:49:27):
daylight look like? Because I've been in forty movies during
the during the festival. So but yeah, I look out
for us at the festival, but also look out for
our festival coverage online as well. Kicking off this week,
so Harley, I was going to make.

Speaker 2 (02:49:44):
A joke about you. Then it's like he'll also be
the one with the saw bumm because he's been sitting
on it for several hours and it's like, you know what,
that that could go in the wrong directions. So let's
not mention that.

Speaker 1 (02:49:55):
We've got to get out of here right now. So
for now, I've been Dave

Speaker 2 (02:49:59):
G and I've been highly catches next week and online
