Experiments in Mass Appeal #8

Popular '80s songs account for much of the first hour and a block of heavy prog ushers in the third, with a healthy amount of what you've come to expect from EIMA taking up the rest.

Thanks to those who stayed in and hung out with me in chat.

Next week's show will have a somewhat different flavor, celebrating guitarists and highlighting the much underpromoted niche of gray area music that's too prog to be accepted as rock, yet too rock to be prog.
