from Totally 80s and 90s Recall · host Totally 80s and 90s Recall
In the new world of playlists and streaming music, the youth of today will never know the painstaking steps that were needed to formulate a mixed cassette tape. Whether you were building the tape for a friend, a family member or that special someone, it was a process that took a lot of time, patience and thought to make sure the songs you selected were just right. Through a combination of borrowing tapes or recording off the radio you would put your masterpiece together and then wait anxiously to see what their reaction would be. So this week Rob is traveling back 37 years to the great year of 1988 and putting together a 90 minute mixtape that will show off his musical abilities. He will channel his 11 year old self and put together a list of songs that would surely impress anyone in 1988. So Dave and the audience this week will sit back and enjoy the music of 1988 and try to figure out if this would have been a successful mix that someone else would have really liked listening to. From Richard Marx and Bobby Brown to Paula Abdul and Milli Vanilli, we’ll feel like we're back in the great year of 1988.
