A (Mostly) 80s Music Podcast: What Difference Does It Make?

Larry "The Duck" Dunn steps into the What Difference Does It Make virtual studio to provide some insight into the New York 80s music scene. Larry started his career at 92.7 WLIR, where he became the Music Director and helped shape the sound of this influential New York radio station. In between our banter about WLIR, Larry's personal experiences with the artists, and his time in the clubs, we look to Los Angeles and the 1985 year-end chart from KROQ. This episode, we look at songs #100 to #91. There are a few lost classics, as well as some songs from classic rockers in this ten-song-chunk. You can also hear Larry on SiriusXM's 1st Wave channel and also streaming on WDARE. Get a month of Amazon Music courtesy of your 80s music afficionados at What Difference Does It Make.

Brad Savage is a self-described radio nerd, traversing the United States sharing his love of music via his love of radio. He's been with REV105 and KTCZ in the Twin Cities. Moved to Columbia, Missouri to program The Buzz and 102.3 KBXR. This led to Madison, Wisconsin and WMAD, when it was an Alternative rock station, and then on to WQKL "107one" in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He launched The Corner 106.1 WCNR in Charlottesville, Virginia, before finally landing at The Summit in Akron. He's always said "It's all about the music", so now Brad faces his toughest challenge, which is reviewing songs #90 - #81 on the 1985 year-end chart from KROQ in Los Angeles.
