Which Decade Is Tops For Pops?

Four Tops vs Suzi Quatro vs Eighth Wonder vs LL Cool J vs H Two O vs Kendrick Lamar

Season 2, Ep. 1

It's a brand new season, the scoreboard has been reset, and you are hereby cordially invited to join the Which Decade Supporters Club on Patreon (yes, it's time to start rattling the begging bowl). In this episode, Motown makes its debut, glam rock leathers are swapped for brushed denim and cheesecloth, the Pet Shop Boys coyly emerge via Patsy Kensit, two of hip hop's biggest names do battle, and bassline house makes its first (and almost certainly last) appearance.
