It was a ton of fun partying like it was 1987 with Dave Sloan and Holly Cantos on their “What Difference Does It Make?” podcast, as we counted songs No. 20 through 11 from that year’s chart on the World Famous KROQ in my native Los Angeles.

Somewhere in the ‘WDDIM’ vaults there’s a 250-minute director’s cut that’s pretty much all me filibustering about the criminally underrated Gene Loves Jezebel and why Less Than Zero IS a Christmas movie… but in the meantime, listen below as we discuss “Motion of Love,” “Hazy Shade of Winter,” and other 1987 KROQ hits by the Alarm, U2, Pet Shop Boys, Love and Rockets, R.E.M., and more.
