1980's Music Heaven
Last night I spent hours working on a playlists for my iPod. I've mentioned that I own a ton of 80's music, but the iPod doesn't collect them nicely together and play them for you. You have to make playlists. So last night I printed out America's Top 40 year end lists of the Top 100 songs of the year, from 1980-1986. Then I went down each list and added every song I already had from that year's top 100. Here's how I did:

1980 - 47
1981 - 42
1982 - 48
1983 - 73
1984 - 78
1985 - 64
1986 - 47

Later I'll go back through my collection and add in other songs I have for each year. I just thought this would be a good starting point. I love the idea of picking a year and essentially stepping back in time. As I was compiling the list I was enjoying many memories associated with each song.
