Ep.1: Five Forgotten Great Rock/Pop Songs of The 80's

While there are many great songs and music from the 1980s, there are lots of tunes that have gotten lost. Music that was a hit, yet still somehow slipped away from classic hits and classic rock radio stations. Some of the songs were big hits, and it is tough to fathom how they are not remembered better or talked about more, and some songs had a flash of notoriety and slipped away. In this episode, we revisit five of these songs, in our episode 1 podcast of FORGOTTEN GREATNESS- 5 SONGS OF THE 80’S on RockPopandRoll.

Host Rob Nichols finds some pop-rock gems, from a hit song that sat atop the Top 40 and AC charts while also making a big splash in AOR, to a one-hit neo-rockabilly artist that cracked the top 10 – just like his dad did 20 years earlier.

We also discover some little-known facts about a great, slightly forgotten, Detroit musician who had band hits, solo hits, and also played guitar for Stevie Wonder when Wonder opened for the Rolling Stones during their 1972 tour.

And we find a rock band’s lead singer who went the solo album route after his longtime band decided synthesizers and ballads were the path to a hit, instead of their longtime rock and roll sound.

Hear the music again. Discover the stories. Have some fun. It’s a visit to the great 1980’s world or RockPopandRoll.
