You can do a search for the Billboard Hot 100 charts for each year and go from there…

… and don’t forget Duran Duran

and some of the alphabet soup…

INXS  
ABC  
XTC

An 80’s mix tape???

Because???

They’re aren’t any available already?

Does the world really need another eighties various artist cd to add to the already exitant 20 million others?

(Please see:

sedated in the 80s  
vh1: I love the 80s  
monster 80s  
billboard #1s: the 80s  
best of the 80s  
new wave 80s  
living in the 80s  
totally 80s )

No 80’s mix is complete without “Jam on it” by Newcleus.

That’s right, I said said jam-j-j-jam on it. As days turn to night and night turns to day, whatever time it is I wanna hear you say, Jam on it, Jam on it.

Man, rap used to be fun.
