Hmmm. When did I hear the phrase 80s music...let me think....

Probably around 1980. ;-)

Being born in 1967, the 80s were really my formative years, musically. I bought my first record in 1978 (I wrote about that here --> @gribbles/gribbles-record-collection-listening-chain-1), though I do remember music before that in the 70s (I have a nostalgia playlist that I'll share with some writeup at some point). I started secondary school in 1979, and so 80s music soundtracked my high school years, and it became embedded in my life. As well as the mainstream stuff (which makes up your wonderful gallery), the alternative/indie side started and exploded in that decade - and I remember how exciting that was when it crossed over into the charts, and maybe even on to Top of the Pops on a Thursday night.

Happy days, indeed.

Anyway - welcome aboard. I'm really excited to see what you bring to the look & feel of M4L. (The sooner you can get rid of those green on white links, the better ;-) :-D)
