1984- 88
NOTE: Early Start Time 10pm- 2am tonight!
Videos were almost as important as the songs they were advertising. It was the time of Band Aid, USA for Africa and Live Aid. Rap finally cracked the Top 10. Dance music made a strong comeback, but in new forms. Paul Simon took us to Africa with his 'Graceland' project and Prince gave us 'Purple Rain'.
Bruce Springsteen had us dancing in the dark, Sade was a smooth operator and Cameo gave us the word up.
Hear great retro classics from Grace Jones, Guns 'N Roses, Bon Jovi, Crowded House, Dire Straits, The Bangles, The Pet Shop Boys and The Cure.

1982-3
The new decade was in full swing, with new acts emerging such as Tears For Fears, Psychedelic Furs, The Violent Femmes, Culture Club, New Order, The Smiths, Billy Idol, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet and INXS. Lionel Richie went solo, Frankie Goes To Hollywood told us to Relax and Michael Jackson's album was really a thriller!

1980 ended tragically with the assassination of former Beatle John Lennon. This week marks the 30th anniversary of that fateful event and on Ages of Rock, we focus on the unique success and consistent quality of the music of the Fab Four. You'll hear all of the Beatles' Australian #1 singles, as well as all the solo chart toppers from John, Paul, George & Ringo.
