Totally 80s and 90s Recall

Valentine’s Day is usually a parade of roses and power ballads, but Dave and Rob are taking a scenic detour through the heartbreak aisle. The 80s had a special talent for turning breakups into epic events, complete with echoing drums, pleading vocals, and choruses that felt designed for late night staring contests with the ceiling. These songs did not whisper their sadness. They announced it with synthesizers, lighters held high, and enough emotional reverb to fill an arena. Whether you were dumped, doing the dumping, or just dramatically sighing for effect, the decade made sure you had the perfect soundtrack

From Foreigner’s wounded resolve to Air Supply’s soft focus despair, the 80s breakup song was pure emotional craftsmanship. Richard Marx captured the ache of love slipping through your fingers, while Bonnie Tyler turned heartbreak into a full body experience, raspy voice and all. These were not just sad songs, they were monuments to love gone sideways, built with key changes and unapologetic sincerity. As Dave and Rob count down their favorite tear stained classics, expect a reminder that sometimes the best Valentine’s playlist is the one that lets you feel it all, preferably with the volume up and the lights low

The 90s had a velvet-lit corner of the dance floor reserved for slow jams that knew exactly what they were doing. Rob and Dave are cracking open that time capsule this week, lining up their favorite Valentine-ready booty jams where the bassline lingered and the vocals whispered promises. Artists like Keith Sweat and Blackstreet didn’t rush the moment. They let it simmer, letting silk-smooth harmonies and late-night grooves do the heavy lifting. These were songs built for dim lights, a little confidence, and the kind of mood where the rest of the world politely waits outside.

And then there’s the next wave of heat, where artists like Usher and Ginuwine turned sensual R&B into a full-body experience without ever crossing the line. The 90s were loaded with tracks that made you lean in closer, nod your head slower, and maybe forget what time it was. It was grown-up music with a playful grin, equal parts romance and rhythm. Perfect Valentine fuel, especially when Rob and Dave are spinning memories, stories, and songs that still know how to set the mood decades later

The week of January 27th, 1986 found the Billboard Hot 100 glowing like a neon strip of American pop confidence. Radio and record stores were in lockstep, and the charts reflected a nation humming along to big hooks and bigger personalities. Bruce Springsteen was still flying the blue collar flag high, Dire Straits proved that sophisticated guitar rock could dominate mainstream ears, and The Cars continued to fuse new wave cool with arena sized melodies. These were songs built for car stereos, shopping malls, and late night countdown shows, polished just enough to feel timeless but still crackling with mid-80s energy.

Now, forty years later, Dave and Rob rewind the tape to revisit a chart that felt less like a list and more like a cultural snapshot. Mr. Mister’s sleek, keyboard driven anthems floated alongside guitar heroes and synth architects, all competing for the same precious real estate on radios across America. Album sales mattered, airplay mattered, and the Hot 100 became the scoreboard where it all converged. This week in 1986 reminds us of an era when songs didn’t just chart, they camped out in your head for months, becoming the soundtrack to daily life and the echoes that still follow us decades later

We’re cracking open 1991 like a fresh VHS rental and drafting the very best films the year had to offer. Rob, Dave, and Kurt will go head to head, assembling their dream rosters from a cinematic moment that still hums with electricity. This was the year of Terminator 2: Judgment Day rewriting the rules of the blockbuster, The Silence of the Lambs turning prestige drama into a pop culture event, and comedies lodging themselves permanently in the brain. What About Bob?, with Bill Murray at peak controlled chaos, sat right alongside Hot Shots!, proving 1991 could swing from psychological tension to perfectly timed lunacy without breaking stride.

The draft unfolds across six categories, including comedy, blockbuster, big budget, and drama, forcing tough calls right out of the gate. Do you lock in T2 or Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves for sheer scale, grab Boyz n the Hood or Thelma & Louise for dramatic weight, or roll the dice on something like Point Break, where surf culture, skydiving, and philosophy collide? Strategy matters, nostalgia runs hot, and no one leaves without defending at least one hill they’re willing to die on. By the end, we’ll have three very different blueprints of 1991, built from quotable lines, seismic action, and films that still feel permanently etched into moviegoing memory

New Jack Swing kicked the door open in the late 80s and rearranged the furniture. Born at the crossroads of slick R&B vocals and the punchy swagger of hip hop beats, it fused polished melodies with drum machine snap, sampled funk, and a streetwise pulse. Teddy Riley was the mad scientist at the center of it all, wiring together sounds that felt futuristic and familiar at the same time. Artists like Bobby Brown, Janet Jackson, Guy, Keith Sweat, and Bell Biv DeVoe turned dance floors into pressure cookers, where romance, bravado, and pure groove all bounced to the same rhythm

When Dave and Rob dive into New Jack Swing, they will be stepping into an era where R&B stopped tiptoeing and started strutting, and they will be picking their personal favorites from the genre along the way. This style dominated the late 80s and early 90s by changing how songs were produced, how artists moved, and how hip hop and R&B talked to each other. Expect a rundown of the songs that defined the sound for them, because New Jack Swing did not just soundtrack a moment, it defined an attitude
