Comment:
A mix made on a dare, after I realized how many songs that I remembered from scary top 40 stations in middle school during the mid 80s were now available at the iTunes Music Store. Case in point: "Crush on You," a really catchy and utterly meritless little dance song. One of a two disc set that tried to plumb the depths of the eighties and find songs that either were too good or way too bad for the decade...Feedback:
I think the little keyboard solo about 3 minutes into "if you leave" is one of the best pieces of recorded music ever.
(1) Compared to the rest, the Ocean Blue is not scary.
(2) What scares me more is that I own about 12 or 13 of those.
(3) You shelled out money for "Digital Display"?!?!

RFTW rocks. and I'd pay at least $3 to hear "Digital Display" at any given time. and that Jets tune is truly awful. but I always find I listen to the end.
Ha ha ha! "Whip It" Came out before I was born. I didn't discover it until Hollywood used it in that utterly worthless movie Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion (1997). Wickedly terrible song, but fun nonetheless!
