   BTOC Episode 25 College Rock Radio of the 80's

   College Rock - Before ‘Indie’ or ‘Alternative’, College Rock was the most commonly used term for new music existing on the periphery of established trends. The term derives from the student-run radio stations on college campuses of the 1980s, which picked up new waves much faster than the commercial channels. This was at a time when the boundaries between mainstream and underground music were far less porous than today. Bands Featured: The Replacements, Pixies, Hüsker Dü, The Pogues, Dead Kennedy's, Elvis Costello, The House Martins, The Stone Roses, Janes Addiction, Suzzane Vega, Camper Van Beethoven, 10,000 Maniacs, Billy Bragg, Nirvana, The Dukes of Stratosphere, The Call, The Mighty Lemon Drops, The Connells, The Cult, The Colourfield, Flesh For Lulu, The Lucy Show, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

   BTOC Episode 24 Power Pop of the 80's

   Power pop is a form of pop rock based on the early music of bands such as the Who, the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and the Byrds. It originated in the mid-1960s as young music fans began to rebel against the emerging pretensions of rock music, and developed mainly among American musicians who came of age during the British Invasion. The genre typically incorporates melodic hooks, vocal harmonies, an energetic performance, and "happy"-sounding music underpinned by a sense of yearning, longing, or despair. Bands Include: The Spongetones, Squeeze, 20/20, Nick Lowe, The Smithereens, Let's Active, The Posies, Material Issue, Gin Blossoms, The Rembrandts, Jellyfish, Dramarama, and The La's.
