  Much of rock and pop was very visual during the 70's, and the 60', and the '50's.

  Thumbs up to Lori. I listen to her a lot on Volume (SiriusXM). She's enlighten me upon a wide range of 80's music trivia.

  Hmm I get the impression a lot of the banter is speculation and opinion rather than truth or facts. Artists were using Moog synths and oscillating sequences well before the 80’s. Pink Floyd with On the Run in ‘73, Donna Summer with I Feel Love a few years later. Throw in some Kraftwerk too which was on every boom box in the 80’s wherever there be break dancing. All this was happening before New Order was Joy Division. Also, the prog rock bands were not in the business for the glamour.

  The  interview was interesting, but she is just a little annoying. She talks down to her audience and is hyper judgmental about everything

  The old dude looks disinterested or bored. Love Lori though.
