The last CD I received in the exchange was The Fab 80's from Jenn. This was another one where the theme was just sort of a genre, but there is a bit of variety here...and it's the 80's, man, I lived it ;-) This one is really fun and I like the flow she created in it.
The full song list:
1) Rio - Oh yeah, I danced to this quite a few times...of course I was just a baby when it first came out ;-)
2) Vacation - My niece bought me this album on vinyl a few years ago because she thought it was so funny that this was the music of my youth childhood
3) I Want Candy - Love those early videos - lol
4) Jungle Love - Never really got into this group, but it is definitely a foot tapper.
5) In Your Eyes - Yeah, love it.
6) Blue Monday - Not familiar with this one, but New Order wouldn't have been on my playlist back then.
7) Friday I'm In Love - Ditto this one, never really listened to the Cure...the kids who did just wore a bunch of black (even their lips) and seemed really unhappy all the time. Or maybe that was just my perception ;-)
8) Lips Like Sugar - Another in that vein, but I have heard this one a time or ten. I'm diggin' it now.
9) Flame Thrower - My friend JJ loved the J Geils Band so I heard their stuff a LOT back then.
10) Billie Jean - Back when MJ was just starting to get freaky, but was still talented. This song always bugged me though; the lyrics, the melody, the beat, none of it worked for me but I don't know why.
11) Into The Groove - Madonna when she was just a goofy pop singer. When I was just a youngun I worked at the Celebrity theatre and the sound crew played this album as walk in music more often than not.
12) One Thing Leads To Another - I always really liked The Fixx, not sure why. I am glad to have this since everything else I have by them is either on vinyl or cassette.
13) Man In Motion - Never really liked this one, but then I didn't really care for the movie, either. So sue me.
