Ah yes...the 80's. Second only to the 70's as the greatest music decade.

On KFOG-FM San Francisco, at 10:00 am every morning M-F, there is a show called "Ten at Ten". Dave Morey (a great DJ despite being a bleeding-heart liberal gay guy) plays ten songs from one year. When the music is from a year between 1980-85, I sometimes forego Rush for 40 minutes to listen.
