That is correct.

A couple of weeks ago I asked for you favorite songs of the 1970's and you all did great.

Now, I ask of you the same......but this time of the decade of decadence....the 1980's.

So list 10-15 of your favorite songs of the 1980's and see if they make what will be the list of the top songs of the 80's by our forum membership.

You can hear it live on RobAce Radio...Saturday night at 11pm.
Here is the show link:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/tmf-radio/2010/07/11/robace-radio-2010-19the-tmf-picks-the-80s

So....tell me, what songs are your "Heat of the Moment", "Lucky Star" or make you go "Down Under".
