Part 3 of my conversation with guest Brian Salvatore as we look back at the music of 1981. Show notes: - Recorded via Skype - Check out Brian's podcast Input/Output - Brian's #3 - Prince starts pushing the envelope - Prince in the '80s was nearly untouchable - Jay's #3 - A childhood favorite - Moving Pictures encapsulated everything Rush had been working toward - Side 1 was killer - Brian's #2 - Kraftwerk ran with robotic sounds - A version is touring again - Jay's #2 - The Police start to become a commercial success - Stewart Copeland's drumming was revolutionary for the time - Should Brian drop big coin to see Sting and Peter Gabriel live? - Brian's #1 - Damaged is close to the definitive Black Flag album - Jay's #1 - Van Halen's creative peak - Angrier sounding - Next up: 1995
