1980 Music

Growing up in the 1970's meant listening to some great music. Records were all vinyl back then, and we bought our music in albums.

In 1980, the music scene strated making a shift. Disco was out, but a definite techno sound had crept into even rock band music (I think of how a band like Cheap Trick went from a really raw sound in the 70's to a much more polished and techno studio sound by 1980). Anyhow, no matter who your favorite artist was or what you favorite musical genre was, here are some musical memories for you from 1980..
