Here we are again – back in safe, ol’ 1984 when the air was dirty but the music was perfect. We continue our series on songs that reached No. 2 on the charts – but got no further. This week’s show includes anthems by Prince, Cyndi Lauper, Wham, Kool & The Gang, Rockwell, Bruce Springsteen and more.

Stuck in the ’80s is sponsored by The 80s Cruise. The 2021 voyage has been postponed to March 2022, but we’ll still be there – along with all the original bands – for this amazing trip. Headliners include The Human League, ABC, 38 Special, Belinda Carlisle, Morris Day & The Time, Berlin and many more.
