Actually, ask me about music from the 60s and 70s if you really want to see my brain explode. LOL

The 80s I was sort of on the tail end of my rock n roll period...

Aretha Franklin??

Lort I AM pulling a blank on the 70s..I was only listening to country back that far...although I did have the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack!!

I lived for music in the 80's.  That was all I cared about (well, mostly)
But there was some really great stuff back then.

there was! I used to listen to country almost exclusively but in the 80s I listened to as much pop as country...

I like just about anything if the music is ?smooth? you know how some music is jarring??

can't explain right!  :P

Trivia Question:  Which 80's artist or group had the most Top 40 hits in the U.S.?  (might not be who you think!)


Googling is cheating   ;D
