Ep 03: 2nd British Invasion

This week on The Vinyl Curriculum, Jim introduces Logan to the sound that stormed America in the '80s—the Second British Invasion. Fueled by synths, stylish hair, and the rise of MTV, British bands took over U.S. charts with a sound that was sleek, strange, and unforgettable. From New Wave to New Romantic, we explore what made this era so explosive—and whether these hits still hold up today.

🎶 Featuring tracks from The Cure, Depeche Mode, The Smiths, and more.
📻 Logan reacts, grades, and maybe even dances.
