Comment:

The title is quite self-explanatory, as it I really wasn't into music until Micheal Jackson's "Thriller". Sadly, it took a long time to realize where a lot of today's great songs came from. I made this mix partly to include the most influential artists of the 50's, 60's and 70's, kinda to pay homage to them.
