Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!

In Season 5 (2025), we talked about how double albums came about, and talked about some of the best double albums of the 70’s.  This episode, we look at some of the best double albums of the 80’s. 

 Our Album You Must Listen to Before You Die is “Out of the Blue”, by ELO. It WAS a huge hit in the 80’s. But was it any good? Hmmm. 

 In “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”, we pay tribute to Rob Hirst (Midnight Oil), Ted Egan (a legend of the Northern Territory), and Bob Weir (Grateful Dead) among others. 

 A big episode!
