there are some really nice tracks here, and the important October 1982 events are quite intriguing. I'm with noiseboy; what's yr theme?

Happy birthday!
I like tracks 2, 4, 6, 16 and 25. Are they your favorite tracks from each year?

ballroom pink: finding 25 songs that could fit on an 80 minute CD was a bigger factor, but I think most of these songs would've been on my top 5-10 list for each year.
