Description

UCR's Gary Graff and Jeff Giles are back with Matt and this time, the destination is the '80s! Gary tells us about his new book, 501 Essential Albums of the '80s: The Music Fan's Definitive Guide, which provided us with a lot to talk about and discuss. Among the topics, the rise of musically star-studded soundtracks in the decade and how that became such a thing, guilty pleasures, controversial albums and how music ultimately changed as a result of everything that was happening.
