InObscuria Podcast

Ep. 76: Old In The 80's - What Were They Thinking?

Episode Summary

Transmission 1980: Warning! Dinosaurs have embraced the digital age and are riding the new wave! Living fossils that once rocked stadiums with loud guitars have switched to keyboards, drum loops, and samplers! Listen with extreme caution, as they will surely collapse under the weight of their folly. You have been warned. 1001001.

Episode Notes

What’s this InObscuria thing? We’re a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This time around we are bringing you the most lost of the lost. These are songs and albums by artists you know that the artists themselves have tried to lock away and bury! This is the start of a new series that explores what happens to the dinosaurs when they attempt to follow trends…

Songs this week include:

  1. Iggy Pop - “Fire Girl” from Blah Blah Blah (1986)
  2. Jethro Tull - “Under Wraps #1” from Under Wraps (1984)
  3. Neil Young - “We R In Control” from Trans (1982)
  4. Public Image Ltd. - “This Is Not A Love Song” from This Is What You Want… This Is What You Get (1984)
  5. Foghat - “Zig-Zag Walk” from Zig-Zag Walk (1983)
  6. Grand Funk Railroad - “Innocent” from What’s Funk? (1983)
  7. Alice Cooper - “You Want It, You Got It” from Special Forces (1981)
