Some people
have called the 1980s the worst period ever for Pop
Music.
We respectfully disagree. That would have to be the
early 70s.
This page is dedicated to the New Wave-Punk-Big Hair-MTV
(back when they were a music video station) Style
of Music.
I have no excuses for the songs listed below.
If you have any suggestions, please e-mail us
