- Talk about feeling a little nostalgic. This wasa nice little ride down memory lane. I only remember half of the listed artists and songs, but I was just growing up in the '80s. Heck, I didn't even speak english til '82! lol.

- Being a kid of the 80's, I had to check out this lens. Yep, brings back memories. I can't say I ever LIKED any of those songs, but many of them do make me think of specific times, places and people, that's for sure. And a few of them are actually good memories. :)

I love your list -- the 80s was the MTV era (at least the first) and I personally LOVE the Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star" -- the first video played on MTV.....
I've always loved "one hit wonders" -- supposedly, the Grateful Dead were "one hit wonders" (having only one hit on the top whatever) but don't tell Deadheads that, LOL!
