Montreal's Men Without Hats have an unfair reputation as one hit wonders ("Men Without HITS! Har!"), but people tend to forget they had another fair-sized hit in 1987 with "Pop Goes The World", a fantastic candy concoction just as catchy as "The Safety Dance". Brothers Ivan (he of the booming voice), Stefan and (occasionally) Colin Doroschuk teamed with an ever-revolving lineup for four albums and two EPs in the '80s, and their catalog is surprisingly strong on hooks. After "Safety Dance" conquered the charts, the band went with "I Like" as the follow-up single, [...]
Gee, I don't know if I'm "man enough" for MegaForce . Can I have a few minutes to think about it? I never really envisioned a scenario where an ad for a Hal Needham movie ("a lousy Hal Needham movie" would be redundant) might force me to define my gender role in specific terms, so I'm a bit unprepared.

Not fair that they are forever side-by-side in CD racks at Best Buys worldwide. Men Without Hats Pop Goes The World (Dance Mix) Pop Goes The World (Dub Mix) Whenever I would talk about one-hit-wonders with this girlfriend I [...]
I have said it before and I will say it again, I Love The 80's. It was such a unique time in music. The bands that formed in the 80's are one of the main inspirations for the indie music we listen to today. I am going to attempt to post up ten tracks from bands that formed during specific years in the 80's. The first is bands who formed in the year 1980. I specifically avoided well known bands (for the most part), for instance in 1980 we had the birth [...]
