The definitive account of pop music in the mid-’80s, from Prince and Madonna to the underground hip-hop, indie rock, and club scenes.
Everybody knows the hits of 1984 - pop music’s greatest year. From “Thriller” to “Purple Rain,” “Hello” to “Against All Odds,” “What’s Love Got to Do with It” to “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,” these iconic songs continue to dominate advertising, karaoke nights, and the soundtracks for film classics (Boogie Nights) and TV hits (Stranger Things). But the story of that thrilling, turbulent time, an era when Top 40 radio was both the leading edge of popular culture and a moral battleground, has never been told with the full detail it deserves - until now.
Can’t Slow Down is the definitive portrait of the exploding world of mid-’80s pop and the time it defined, from Cold War anxiety to the home-computer revolution. Big acts like Michael Jackson (Thriller), Prince (Purple Rain), Madonna (Like a Virgin), Bruce Springsteen (Born in the U.S.A.), and George Michael (Wham!’s Make It Big) rubbed shoulders with the stars of the fermenting scenes of hip-hop, indie rock, and club music.
Rigorously researched, mapping the entire terrain of American pop, with crucial side trips to the UK and Jamaica, from the biz to the stars to the upstarts and beyond, Can’t Slow Down is a vivid journey to the very moment when pop was remaking itself, and the culture at large - one hit at a time.

If there was one crucial turning point in the Cold War, it was the release of Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.

Scorpions, Wind of Change was a bit more important imho, Caesar. :/

I dunno, the Russians ran like scared rabbits at the sight of Andrew & George in their short shorts (with strategically placed shuttlecocks). It was worse than Afghanistan for the Soviets.

I was there.
It was recorded in 1983 and released just before Christmas and it was huge…

What was the name of the album?

I reckon it was on their “Greatest Hits” album. The Greatest Hits was their best album by far.
(A grim fate awaits all those who try to trickster the Greatest Caesar.)

No mention of Van Halen’s 1984 or Police’s Synchronicity? I think I’ll pass.
