80's Mix

I was born in the 80's but didn't experience first hand all the craziness of the decade. Like any other era, the 80's had its share of some great and some not so great moments. But music and art can be a wonderful tool through which we can get a sense of the times. The following mix is by no means a complete representative of those weird times but it gives you one glimpse out of many that made up the years from 1980-1989.
