346 mixes with tracks by “Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark”

when you wanna live in the 80's..

or, songs for you, from me

We gonna back. Back to when radio stations played it all.No separate special lists for different types of music.Just real good music playing thru the air. Dick Clark was a "primary force in legitimizing music to America's whole population. The show gave music artists their first exposure to national audiences, Ike and Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, and Simon & Garfunkel. His shows were among the first where blacks and whites performed on the same stage and the audience seating was desegregated.

1975 -1989. From the creepy and paranoid to the uplifting and naff. Fear of computers, fear of the bomb, fear of the future, love of computers, love of electricity, love of the synthesizer.

A bunch of tunes from the decade designed not to leave a bad taste in your mouth

Hours of 80s goodness, not those namby pamby mixes where it's all top 40. There are some surprises here, and some not-surprises, like The Cure, The Alarm, and of course, Depeche Mode.

Songs from John Hughes classics- Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Pretty in Pink.

100 tracks including The Cure, Guns N' Roses, Michael Jackson and tons more.

This might turn into more than one mix, but these are songs taken from Rob Sheffield's autobiography, "Love Is A Mix Tape". Sadly I don't have access to every song featured in the book, but I've got a sizable amount!

Some punk, some post-punk, electronic and a jolly good time...

Mix intended for overhead play at a retail store. Over 100 songs, easy going, but not excessively lame. Includes Steely Dan, Dire Straits, and The Doors http://nc17soundtraxxx.blogspot.com/
