Back to the 80s Radio presents: Battle of the Bands — 1986.

This week, Toscano and Chang go head-to-head in an all-out 1986 music showdown featuring some of the biggest rock, pop, New Wave, and alternative songs of the year.

Three rounds.
Three bands each.
Three songs per battle.

From massive arena anthems and synth-driven classics to songs that instantly take you back to cruising on a Friday night with the radio turned all the way up, this episode is packed with the music, memories, arguments, and ridiculous commentary that made 1986 unforgettable.

Of course, Chang still claims he hates New Wave music… despite somehow knowing every lyric anyway. Who had the better picks?

Who won each round? And why was Chang reportedly seen in 1986 standing motionless inside a record store listening to alternative music for three straight hours? Turn it up and find out. If you grew up with cassette tapes, MTV, mall record stores, late-night radio, and waiting by the stereo to record your favorite song off the air, this episode is for you.

Inspired by John Mellencamp's 1982 hit single "Jack and Diane," Life Goes On: The Lessons We Learned From Eighties Music is a book filled with a collection of the life lessons we learned from 80s songs. Within these pages, members of the latchkey generation share how a particular 80s track formed a tenet of their philosophy-and how it continues to guide them today.

Life Goes On: Lessons We Learned from 80s Music

Today on Back to the 80s Radio, today’s show is a little different. It’s just me behind the mic—no co-host, no banter—just a moment to slow down and revisit one of the most powerful songs the 1980s ever gave us: We Are the World.

This wasn’t just a song. It was a moment in time. In 1985, the biggest voices in music came together—not for fame, not for charts—but to remind the world that compassion still mattered, that unity was possible, and that helping someone you’ll never meet was worth doing. On today’s show, I talk about what that moment meant back then—and why it feels even more important now.

We’ll reflect on the heart behind the song, the humanity in the room that night, and how the 80s had a way of bringing people together across styles, egos, and backgrounds for something bigger than themselves. This is one of those shows you listen to a little louder…
and maybe think a little deeper. If you lived through it, you’ll remember exactly where you were.
If you didn’t, you’ll understand why this song still matters. 

Let’s go back to a time when the world sang together.  Back to the 80s Radio
Real music. Real memories. Real heart. I

In this special edition of Back to the 80s Radio, host Toscano steps out from behind the console and takes you on a deeply personal journey through the decade that defined him.

It’s the story of growing up in Southern California in the 1980s—the sounds, the streets, and the song that changed everything: U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name.” More than a memory, it’s a look back at how music can shape a life, heal a heart, and ignite a purpose.

This is one man’s story of faith, family, and the soundtrack that made it all possible.

Toscano and Chang continue their banter about those things they cared less for in the '80s.  Today's special guest is Michael Thomas Perone an award-winning author who has written for The Baltimore Sun, Baltimore City Paper, Long Island Voice (a spinoff of The Village Voice), and The Island Ear (now titled Long Island Press), among others. Online, he has written for Fatherly, Yahoo!, WhatCulture!, and other websites that don’t end with an exclamation mark. He works as a Senior Editor in Manhattan and lives on Long Island with his wife and two daughters. What’s on top of Danger Peak? That’s what thirteen-year-old Robert Kin and his two best friends, wisecracking and loyal Chris and sweet but put-upon Rinnie, want to find out in their small suburban town of the late 1980s. The three teens are members of the motorbike-racing club the Wild Boars, and with the inadvertent help of their eccentric technology teacher, Dr. Howard (who prefers to be called “Doctor,” not “Mister,” thank you very much), they build Robert a better, faster, and stronger dirt bike—piece by piece. Haunted by flashbacks of his older brother Danny, who died trying to scale Danger Peak the year before, Robert becomes obsessed with conquering the magical mountain. For the respect of his friends and school, and with the aid of his improved Action Bike, he discovers what lies beyond the peak of the mountain—and maybe even beyond the bounds of Earth itself. Filled with humor, adventure, and, most importantly, heart, Danger Peak is an inspiring story about what it takes to achieve your dreams—and what it means to feel alive.
