Title: 80's music
Post by: Wayback on March 18, 2008, 07:26:56 PM

Saw this featured on yahoo main page:
Like big frosted hair, some '80s music is best left behind. But these songs are embarrassingly irresistible.

That is totally what I was listening to '82-'87, while seemingly everyone else in my school was listening to Motley Crue, Def Leppard et al.

With the benefit of hindsight now, I'd add some Bow Wow Wow and Blancmange to that playlist.

You & me both, sissy boy Gaz.  ;) Fab stuff, and it barely scratches the surface. A wonderful musical era.

The inclusion of Phil Collins just boggles the mind.  Swap it out for Joy Division.
