BTOC Episode 8 The Second British Invasion Part 3

This episode will is the third and final part of a series focussed on the 2nd British Invasion. The Second British Invasion consisted of music acts from the United Kingdom that became popular in the United States during the early-to-mid 1980s primarily due to the cable music channel MTV The term derives from the similar British Invasion of the U.S. in the 1960s.

This week we will close out with a 1984 and part of 1985. Again my disclaimer for this show is that I won’t be able to play everything and I won’t always play the hit song from the bands but songs that influenced me. 

Bands included: Roman Holiday, Aztec Camera, Wham, B Movie, Jo Boxer, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, General Public, Bronski Beat, Pet Shop Boys, The Smiths, Band Aid, Howard Jones, Bananarama, Style Council, Ultravox, King, Kate Bush, The Alarm, Wang Chung, The Cult, and REM .
