When I was thinking of changing the theme on the show to different era’s of music, I really didn’t know what to expect when it came to the 80′s. I was expecting lots of Madonna, Poison, Motley Crew, and even some Guns and Roses. The requests this week were much more personal to the people that make up Episode 94. This was a show that even contributors of the show didn’t even grow up in the 80′s and liked the music of that time and got in on the show. Their are many hits in the show, some music that may surprise you, and some that straight out rocks.
I was a child of the late 70′s and mostly 80′s so it was great to get the first of 2 weeks of 80′s requests under my belt. I mentioned it briefly in the show, but as a fan or Thriller, Beat it, and other hits of Michael Jackson, all I can say is R.I.P and thank you for some great hits that marked an era in music and the lives of so many.
I would like to thank the following people that requested music and made up the “All Request Podcast- Sound Check with CK.” From Twitter, (click on names for the link, @thepete @koukla141 @dizzygirl @siskita @EricEmerick and @MariAdkins. Also, I would like to thank Noelle, Jim for requesting via Facebook and JG for the last song of the show inspiration. If you didn’t make it this week, look for your requests in the play list on Episode 95. A special thanks goes out to Dizzy in GA. for breaking in the studio line this week with requests and as she calls in “mixing it up!” Thank you. Anyone that wants to leave a request on the studio line can, just call the 339 # at the bottom of this post.

I am looking forward to getting to the songs that didn’t make the show and I am definitely looking forward to a great request from @Spiffy via Twitter. Also, I am sure that we’ll get some great songs from @Alli next week too.
OK. now go get your Trans Am, your cuffed jeans amd Spotbilt’s and for the ladies, your neon leggings, leg warmers, and your Aquanet, and let’s get on with Episode 94!

I had to laugh when you mentioned 48 Hours- that is the ONLY way I pronounce ROXANNE! when I’m singing along with that song. And, I’m going to have to rent Weekend at Bernie’s this weekend!

Oh, man. Just made the fatal error of watching Robert Palmer videos on the YouTube. That stuff is awesome.

I vote the next 80s podcast is all hair metal!

Van Halen…wow this is a tough question because both guys totally rocked it out. You know, I’m going to have to go with Hagar. David Lee Roth was so obnoxious.I know, I know…I’ll probably get drug over the coals for it, but I just think the music was better with Sammy.
That said, this is definitely one of my favorite episodes of the show. Can’t wait until next week. And thanks for playing my two songs.

Wow – hard to make a choice on that Van Halen question. I’ve seen ‘em both. The original lineup rocked harder, but I did truly enjoy Sammy – the sound was cleaner and rocked pretty good.
Saw Sammy in Mexico at the Cabo Wabo w/his band and surely enjoyed him with his own band and music than him signing David Lee Roth hits. Keep the great music coming – sounds great!

No offense to those that cant stand David Lee Roth, and he certainly is over the top, but the old Van Halen has a much more distinct edge, and is not so commercial. Sure they sold a lot of records with Van Haggar, but the music of Van Halen with Roth captures a spirit of rock that was so instrumental (no pun intended) in carrying the big rock band menatality of the 80′s. Van Haggar…90′s tech rock….Van Halen, definitely Rock, and probably in the top 5 to 10 of rock bands of the era. Van Haggar is a pop band at best….
