We had a great time ranking our top 5 albums from 1983 in our latest episode. Unfortunately, there was a microphone issue with Dennis, so please listen carefully. In addition, we added a special bonus at the end to make up for something we forgot. We appreciate your support throughout the year and would be grateful if you could share our podcast with others. Thank you for listening!
