S3E04 - The Top 15 Songs of 1987
Show Notes
The Cacophony Sessions is here to analyse another of the greatest years in music history. From synthpop to hip-hop; sophisti-pop to post-punk - this episode's six-man panel of Dan Whitell, Dan B, Tom, Jim, Martyn and Alex rank their favourite songs of 1987 from our selection of 75 tunes that can be found listed on our blog (note: the list will spoil the episode).

As well some 35 year-old tunes we discuss some more recent music, we play Does It Slap again and reveal our hips and happenings of the last few months - including one of us developing a passion for American tenor Mario Lanza; a particularly glowing concert review of a MAN on stage and an overabundance of cereal references and fish puns.

Which artists have stood the test of time? Which artists have faded into obscurity? Join us for a two-hour dive into the tail-end of the glam metal era.  As always, let us know if we've missed any of your favourites on Twitter and stand by for further updates on our YouTube channel as well as a forthcoming Patreon very soon.
