80s_music - Profile (original) (raw)

on 18 February 2002 (#472070)

This community is for those who are still stuck on the music of the 80s. It's for those who loved the big hair, horrendous neon clothing, laughable self-importance, and last and foremost the infectious music- with its danceable rhythms, its corny melodies and lyrics, and its poignancy.

Mix tape swaps and internet broadcast radio show information are encouraged!
