A collection of Breakdance classics, mainly 80s. Read an article recently some somebody wrote which forwarded a complaint that all contemporary popular music sounds like it is from or otherwise highly inspired by the 80s. It's extremely difficult for me to concur.
Anyway, went back and listened to some of my favorite 80's tracks and was surprised by how much pleasure I experienced from listening back and singing/rapping along to them. A lot of the songs are on compilation albums so I decided to put together a mix to listen to while I study.
Remember hearing most these on the TV as a kid, not so much on radio. Can't say that many of them sound too dated, so maybe the some somebody had what amounts to some semblance of a point. When I try to think of other similar tunes of a recent vintage, fundamentally pop tunes, which could be said to have had a similar impact, and moreover could potentially retain a similar shelf-life, as these lot - I'm hard pressed. Turn it up LOUD!
