Easy now fella. I'm with you on all the others but this must be a typo.

Public Enemy
NWA

Do I remember? I've got some of those tucked away in my spare bedroom. How I'd love to copy those to CD, they were the best!

far to many to list, but stashed in the 10 disk are a collection of 70's, 80's, 90's and 00 music including Genesis, Scissor sisters, Tenacious D, Jamiroquai, The Darkness…

However, i have 'School Reunion - the 80's' in there, including such classics as:

Queen - I want to break free
Duran Duran - the reflex
Kajagoogoo - too shy
Doctor and the medics - spirit in the sky
Go west - we close our eyes
Kenny Loggins - Footloose

and it goes on - Bros, Kylie, Wham, Erasure, James Brown, Bananarama, Human League…

The wife bought it for me 'cos 'it went with the car…'

Jeez, now I am sulking coz I grew up on a different Continent …. don't recognise a lot of the bands (Yep, South Africa was about 2 years behind everybody else in the 80's   )

But I vaguely recall:

Funkytown - Lipps, Inc
Keep on Loving You - REO Speedwagon
Centerfold - J. Geils Band
Jack & Diane - John Couger
Addicted to Love - Robert Palmer
Good Things - Fine Young Cannibals

NOTE TO SELF : REMOVE COBWEBS FROM BRAIN TO REMEMBER MUSIC!!!!

It's great, isn't it. I'm half way through series 2 of Miami Vice and I remember each episode as if it was just last week. The scary thing is that it's been 22 years since the first series  8O

I feel old  :cry:

Here's a good link for those of you that would like to reminisce about all those old 80's tv programmes. Just click on the 'TV shows' button on the left and then choose your decade!!

Sigue Sigue Sputnik; Love Missile F1-11

(how sad's that)

8)  8o's were mint  bring on  the acid house, reach for the sky. the past is theirs but the future is ours ! majority of charts bands were a bit on the camp side though . look at wham guess ladies were barking up the wrong tree with them.

Wham; no thanks.  More of a late 80's, early 90's kind of gal myself.  Have to say, loved the house stuff though!  Have you played it back though?  When I first got my Golf, I dug out a few old tapes (had a crap radio when I first got it), oooh, it was awful, suppose it's a bit like you had to be there at the time!!!!

I remember loving the KLF - White Room. Justified ancients of mumu - what was that all about??
