About this listen

How did heavy metal change from the 70s to the 80s? This episode examines the birth of "hair metal" and how, for a short but LOUD period of time, heavy metal was one of the most popular genres in American music. Bands such as Quiet Riot, Def Leppard, and even Van Halen benefitted from widespread exposure on MTV as the visual aspect of a band's image became as important as the music. *This also marks a change in venue for 80s music topics as FTR80 will be merged into the FTR70 feed. Look for 80s topics to be a continuation of topics previously discussed on FTR70.*
