| The
80's! What a decade! The only time in MY memory where the new seamlessly blended with the old. When else could such disparate groups as Split Enz and Queen co-habitate in the music world, and make sense? Of course, this was also the most tragic of years with John Lennon's senseless murder. Despite that, 1980 is STILL one of my all-time favourite years for music. | ||||||
