OK, OK I understand it is 10, I will stop now... but I was only getting started (Husker, Sisters, Killing Joke, Rev CO, Comsat, Sonic Youth, Adam Ant, OMD, ACR, The The, Simple Minds, Damned, X, Bad Brains, Fear, XTC, Chills, English Beat, Madness, Minutemen, Black Flag, GEEZ, it just won't stop!)....
This is why the 80's is superior to any other era in music for me: I mean, are we lucky or what?!?!? Just making a list like this brings a smile to my face! (Pick 10, I can't)... here is my favorite mood music of the times, kinda makes me wonder why I listen to anything past 1990....Oh yeah, and finally my two fave 70's songs of all time:
1. Donovan - Season of the Witch, and
2. Kraftwerk - Autobahn, (don't ask me why!!!!... I just love it!)
