BELINDA CARLISLE, DEBBIE GIBSON, TIFFANY & TAYLOR DAYNE: Forgotten Ladies of the 1980s (with Stereogum's Tom Breihan)
b'
We\\u2019re shaking things up a bit this week!\\xa0
The \\u201880s were formative for our ideas of modern pop stardom but it\\u2019s not just Madonna, Prince, Michael, Janet, George and the gang that deserve credit for shaping that legacy. So in this episode, Senior Editor at Stereogum Tom Breihan joins me to break down the careers and legacies of four more erstwhile women who hit high highs during this decade, with smash singles and multi platinum albums, then fell off the charts just as the decade turned over to the 1990s:\\xa0 Belinda Carlisle, Debbie Gibson, Tiffany and Taylor Dayne. Tom and I first lay out why the \\u201880s were such an important decade for our conceptions of the pop star and pop music, before turning to each woman\\u2019s story individually, where they came from, how they rose to fame, what made them click, why they all eventually fell off, and the important contributions each made to pop culture- whether it be songs (\\u201cHeaven is a Place on Earth\\u201d! \\u201cOnly in My Dreams\\u201d! \\u201cTell it to My Heart\\u201d!), tropes, music videos, or otherwise. Finally, Tom and I rank Belinda Carlisle, Debbie Gibson, Tiffany and Taylor Dayne in the official Pop Pantheon.\\xa0
