“It’s very rare to stumble across something as special as 80sography, but I’m glad that I did. The host is knowledgable, funny and has an obvious love of great music. It’s impressive how he gets to talk to so many 80’s icons, puts them at ease, and gets them to reveal so many secrets from the recording process. For anyone that wistfully thinks back to a time of great songwriting and innovation, this podcast is a must.
I would love to hear Hugh Padgham interviewed again to fill in three gaps in his career, following on from earlier excellent 80sography sessions.
1) Abacab - It would be wonderful to hear how Hugh contributed to the album which saw Genesis break from their past. Also, how did great tracks like Paperlate and You Might Recall get left off?
2) Ten Summoner’s Tales - insights on Sting at the height of his powers would be fascinating, particularly given the perfect band he had assembled for that album.
3) Drama - I fear Hugh is too much of a gentleman to recount the dark tales from this Yes album, which would make his recollections all the more fascinating if he were to spill the beans!”
