Our Season 9 finale finds us in deep conversation with Spin Doctors frontman Chris Barron, as part of our loving coverage of 1991's firecracker album 'Pocket Full of Kryptonite,' an album we both dearly love. Thanks for your support, and here's to an amazing Season 10! He joins us to recall his favorite sentiments from the iconic video shoot, fighting with the record company over Kick's release, and more. One of Australia's greatest exports, INXS, delivered one of the ultimate '80s albums with Kick, and Andrew Farriss was half of the duo that wrote the whole shebang. We're kicking off Season 10 with '80s August, and with one of the HUGEST bands of that decade, and really, of all time.
