The Sound of Style: 1980-1990

Steve Lamacq has a show full of forgotten tracks from the 1980s as part of the Sound of Style season.

We celebrate the launch of The Sound of Style season, a collaboration between 麻豆社 Four and 6 Music looking at the love affair and inextricably linked relationship between fashion and music since the 1960s.

Episode two of 麻豆社 Four's three-part series, Oh You Pretty Things, airs tonight at 9pm. It is narrated by Lauren Laverne and each episode is sound-tracked by a 6 Music presenter, bringing their music expertise to showcase the social history, sounds and looks of the period. Stuart Maconie has sound-tracked episode two, which looks at the 1970s. Across the day, 6 Music shows will be styling their music and chat around the 70s, playing the tracks Stuart selected - plus other gems from that decade - and hearing from Stuart about his music choices.

On each Wednesday the series airs, 6 Music will be playing music across the shows reflecting the years covered in that evening's programme, so today will be styling their music and chat around the 1970s.
