Brilliantly informative podcast
As a lifelong fan of the Pet Shop Boys and other bands from the 80s - this podcast is one not to be missed.
Informative, funny and well presented, Sarah and Brian do the deepest dives into all the music we grew up with.
They have looked back at so many great albums over the years and hopefully many more to come.
Definitely 5 stars (I would give it 6 if I could)

United Kingdom4 months ago - Simply the best podcast you will ever listen to.
As a child growing up in the 80s this podcast is essential listening for anyone of my generation or anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the classic albums from the best decade of music ever.
Brian and Sarah present in a brilliant way with good humour and a level of research that puts others to shame.
They don’t ever rush things and despite the usual episode being 2 hours or so, I always want more when it comes to an end.
Having recently celebrated the 200th episode of you haven’t hear... more
Apple Podcasts5MilashkinaUnited Kingdom5 months ago - Warning this podcast may drasically expand your record collection
If you are into classic popmusic and like rambling discussions this is the podcast for you.
I share Brians and Sarah’s love for DM and A-ha and I do agree that Tipping point is the best Tears for Fears album. But I can’t understand why they like Erasure so much. Please make me understand.

Netherlands10 months ago - An Absolute Gem
I was having a debate with my girlfriend about “the greatest album of all time”. The conversation helped me find this amazing podcast. Informative, entertaining, and very well done… I’m psyched I found Brian and Sarah treasure trove of knowledge; providing trips down memory lane, an appreciation for the 80s, and a chance to learn a whole lot new.
Now about the question that led me here… I would love to see their overall rankings of albums after nearly 10 years of doing this awesome podcast. Th... more
