Steve Taylor Solves Racism: The "Meltdown" Album, Side A (#022)

Send a textWe continue our track by track analysis of Steve Taylor's work. We only get halfway through his classic first full-length album, 1984's Meltdown, because there is so much to talk about. Highlights on this side include Taylor's groundbreaking song "We Don't Need No Colour Code" which boldly takes on racism in the Church, and "Am I In Sync", which is one of our all-time favorite Steve Taylor songs.Bands/ Artists discussed:Steve TaylorChicago Bears Shufflin' CrewThe Fat BoysRun DMCPublic EnemyBarry McGuireLarry NormanBob DylanConor OberstPleasant GroveOpening sketch is Bill Pullman from Saturday Night Live Season 22, Episode 3God Gave Rock & Roll To You is a podcast exploring the Christian rock subculture of the late 20th century, hosted by Matt Beaton with co-hosts Doug Dickens and Tony Hormillosa.
