tap into the 80's
for people with no clue about music, the 80's were are horrible decade, only to looked at in the rearview mirror with laughter and self-loathing disgust. for me, it was a wonderful decade, and i'd like to think sputnik agrees with me on that. furthermore, it is not my fault the smiths ruled the 80's! enjoy this list and please rec me all the blissful stuff i've overlooked for so many years... |
