I'm playing a lot of 80s music this week.
My high school 20th reunion is coming up in October, and I've volunteered to throw together the playlist for Friday night's festivities. (I'm assuming a band will be playing on Saturday).
I graduated in '88.
And, boy, was there a buttload of crap on the radio that year.
Here's my tentative track listing. My approach has been to embrace the cheese, only temper it with the music the various cliques would have listened to.
