...oh yes, the 80's...what a decade...for me the 80's start at about 1978 and went until 1992 and the breakthrough of Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit...so while the majority of the songs here are from the actual 80's decade some may have been in the early 90's...

Ah, the memories. Kinda schizophrenic series, though (a problem I found with my own New Wave mix) -- a couple legitimately great tunes (i.e. Joy Division, Cure) mixed with some guilty pleasures (i.e. A-Ha, Vapors) and some truly awful material I'd never want to hear again (i.e. Mike & the Mechanics, Roxette). Which makes for an accurate document of the times but something that would have me reaching for the skip button before the horrifying memories started coming back...

Excellent 80's mix. Could do without the uberpoppers Roxette and and Michael Jackson, but they were part of the times. It's a Sin is a great tune, nice use of it here.
