This might be the coolest thing I have seen or heard musically. I am currently about 15 minutes into this and enjoying myself greatly. I think I'll quit though when I am into the 80s. It will be hard to listen to the music gradually get worse and worse. But this is well worth a listen when y'all are home.

My God...just awesome.

Hey what can I say, I'm more a fan of the 50-70s than the 80s-now. ;)

Meh. I'm a 90s alt/rock guy, so to each their own...

Indeed. Either way, it's still cool. If that is your preference, then just skip to part 2. It starts in 1983.

See there. I'm guilty of it, too.

damn, Elvis had a lot of number ones

[rascal]

The best songs are from 1963-1972. Lots of haunting sounds that are buried in our brains if you lived during that time.

Lightnin Strikes, Walk Like A Man, Groovin, Our Day Will come, Kind of a Drag, Incense & Peppermints, Light My Fire, Windy, Dominiqe(The Singing Nun- no not this one). I dont know how that last one became such a big hit. Did you know that the singing nun committed suicide?

Thanks for posting. Actually, that whole 80's segment is heaven to me :lol

I definitely didn't realize how badass 80s music was until I heard this...

[The Reckoning]

i listened to the entire thing. cool to listen to the rock music and then pop backlash in the 60s...the transition from the 70s to 80s is unreal how quick it is.
