Although he was already popular with fans of Dr. Demento, "Weird Al" Yankovic scored a top-40 hit with "Eat It" in 1984 from the album In 3-D, and followed it up with one of the best comedy albums ever in Dare to Be Stupid. It seemed that a "Weird Al" parody was just the thing an artist needed to be relevant. Or, that was what his label Scotti Bros. thought. Instead of letting him do what he does best, they started making suggestions. Combine that with a year that didn't produce the greatest pop songs and we get the first dud from the master of parody, Polka Party!. onate to the podcast through Patreon... https://www.patreon.com/ericwincentsen728 Or PayPal eloftmpodcast@gmail.com P.O.

The Stranger was the album that, after a decade of setbacks, finally made Billy Joel a success. It was no surprise it's follow-up, 1978's 52nd Street, debuted at number one. The sound was a bit jazzier - it was named after the street that hosted a number of famous jazz clubs - and it still produced a number of hits. It would, however, find itself in thrift store bins within a few years of its release, and ultimately sell a bit less than its predecessor.

Born to Run made Bruce Springsteen a star, but he had a major problem with manager and producer Mike Appel. Appel wanted to control how Springsteen's career went while the Boss thought he should definitely be the boss. It came to legal blows, delaying the recording and release of a new album for three years. When Darkness on the Edge of Town was released in 1978 it had a darker tone than its predecessors and a more focused lyrical style. At first a critical and commercial disappointment, it is now considered one of his best albums.
