Fantastic flash, covering a great topic.
Yep, music of the 80's was truly inspirational. It had a great deal more imagination than the so called 'specialized' music of today. Music of the 80's is greatly responsible for the music that I enjoy today, which is electronic.
Back in the 80's, music was played to a romance of the unknown. Anything was possible, and no one had to conform to a 'genre' or style. Oh well.... Wish you could have added a few other really good ones, I was expecting to hear 'Personal Jesus' and 'East End Boys and West End Girls'.... Ah, and something from Mike and the Mechanics. Still, was very kewl, thanks for the ride.
