  • 711: Two-Hit Wonders of the '80s Part 1
    Jul 15 2024

    Our listeners hated our One-Hit Wonder series of podcasts so much, we decided to double down. Welcome to Part 1 of our "Two-Hit Wonders" of the '80s podcasts. We'll honor artists who might have had a deep catalog of great music, but still only had two hits on the Billboard Top 40 charts in the U.S. This week, the artists include John Parr, Tone Loc, Quiet Riot, and Men Without Hats. We love these artists and wish they'd scored more hits in our beloved decade. Here are the stories behind their songs.
