This week on Transmission, Jake Rudh focuses on instrumentals from the rock and pop worlds of the late 1970s and '80s. Jake isn't talking about the funk and disco classics that still sound so good on the dance floors today; he's talking about the quirky and synthy cuts that sound so '80s that they've pretty much stayed in that decade since ... cue "Beverly Hills Cop" Axel Foley sticking a banana in a tailpipe.
