The Mild Mannered Army Podcast – 1981: The Year Pop Exploded
In this episode, Paul and Nick take a deep dive into the music of 1981—a year that saw the explosion of synth-pop, the rise of the New Romantics, and a blend of post-punk experimentation with mainstream chart success.
Join us as we share our memories of 1981, a year filled with iconic fashion, unforgettable performances, and groundbreaking music. We explore the tracks and artists that defined the era, from shimmering synth melodies to rebellious rhythms and everything in between.
Artists Featured:Soft Cell, The Human League, The Specials, The Go-Go’s, Duran Duran, Adam and the Ants, U2, Depeche Mode, Heaven 17, Altered Images, Grace Jones, and even Shakin’ Stevens (because no trip to 1981 would be complete without him).
Expect plenty of nostalgia, debate, and more than a few guilty pleasures as we celebrate one of the most exciting years in pop history.
