Eddy’s Eighties Smooth Grooves

Press play! Let’s go back to the Walkman days, when taping radio shows and vinyl albums was a daily activity for the young. In the early eighties the radio-friendly Californian yacht rock and smooth jazz sound ruled the air waves, but it did not take long before British new wave took over, the radio variant of the 1970s punk movement. The popularity of that genre began to flourish when MTV started to play their extravagant video clips. It all ended when house and hip hop broke loose and a new generation took the steering wheel at the end of the decade.
