NOTE: THIS IS AN OLD EPISODE WHERE I WAS TRYING SOMETHING WHICH DIDNT WORK, THE POD ONLY GETS GOOD FROM EPISODE 7 ONWARDS. FEEL FREE TO SKIP!   Hello ladies and jellybeans, welcome back to I Completed 80s Music. I'm the 80s Mixtaper, your dust-covered museum assistant who knows a surprising amount about the music you're listening to. In this episode, we'll be covering the back straight of Playlist 6, featuring some absolute belters. We'll kick things off with Rainbow's anthem "All Night Long." It's a tune that makes you want to headbang until your neck gives up. Next, we dive into Elvis Costello's "I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down," a soulful ballad turned toe-tapping anthem. Next, we explore Joan Armatrading's timeless track "Rosie." Joan's distinctive voice and eclectic style make this song a milestone in music history. Then, we groove to the Spinners' "Working My Way Back To You," a delightful mash-up of soul and disco. We'll also dance to the Gibson Brothers' sizzling hit "Cuba," a track that brought Latin rhythms to the global party. Finally, we skank our way to the Beat's "Hands Off She's Mine," a ska track that explores traditional attitudes while giving us a good old-fashioned boogie.
