In a lot of ways, technology helped many 80’s pop stars explode. From the Gated Reverb drum sound, to the Yamaha DX7 keyboard synthesizer, to the Roland TR-808 drum machine - this new technology gave the 80’s such a huge and identifiable sound. Coupled with the rise and popularity of music videos, these sounds became inescapable and it seemed that it was a requirement for any artist of the time to incorporate these sounds… sometimes for the worse. However, some artists of the era took these new tools and really did amazing things with them, creating memorable albums that are loved well beyond the 80’s bubble where they became popular. These are the albums we’ll discuss today, as we discuss our favorite 80’s albums and why we love them. So, hangout with us for a bit and see if our list matches yours.
