Loves 80's music :D

Funny this thread came up but I'm trying to put together or download a compilation of a best of 80's with all the hits.

Sort of like what they play on the weekends for a 80's weekend on 106.7 lite FM in NYC.

I was on Pirate's Bay and looked up some best of the 80's but most of those 6CD sets have some wack **** I ain't never heard of.

I'm talking about all the hits and No. 1's from that decade as well as the 50's, 60's, and 70's.

I think Time Magazine had put out a compilation or something, but if anyone can point me in the right direction for what I'm looking for :nerd: would greatly appreciate it.

fellas im loving what im seeing in here so far :pimp: , with that said, try to post one song per post with da first time you heard it. (avoid stacking)

that way each song can get properly introduced by folks who aren't familiar...i don't want people with short attention spans to just skim posts and miss out

That didn't last very long :lol:
 
Asking to upload one song per post in such a prolific era didn't make sense to me. I didn't want to wax poetic about it either, just rather post the tunes & let people soak it up.... Oh well... :rolleyes
