In this episode Tom presents his Dissertation on Delay to Professor Ralston, who must choose the Hit Songiest Song From Mars from a number of worthy (and not so worthy) candidates. The challenge pits Love and Rockets against The Temptations, Edwin Starr, Tina Turner, Anthrax and Duran Duran. This ignites a compelling discussion on the unlikely bedfellows of Goth Rock, Reggae, Motown, Psychedelia and of course...Bauhaus and Van Halen! It's a ball of confusion you do not want to miss!
