I think this is definitely the weakest set of songs we will see here. None of these are artists that get talked about around here much at all.

I'm quite the Rick Springfield fan and REO Speed wagon has some nice songs. Don't really care about the rest.

That song is funny because everything tells me I shouldn't like it, but I do.  Can't figure out if it is nostalgia warping my view or if I genuinely like the song.

The years you weren't alive in are the best years to explore.  I'm looking forward to the 70s.  80s has more nostalgia, but 70s had some really great stuff.  And it was pre-MTV, so ugly bands with great music still had a shot.

I'm not saying I don't know music from the seventies, I've got tons of it. But I don't necessarily know all the #1 hits from that era.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
