Very 80's-y. I like seeing a lot of my old favorites like Tom Tom Club and Man Parrish. And I like the way you choose the non-obvious choices by a lot of artists.

Another cracking chart Jim...lots here for me to check out. I’ll take some convincing that ‘Sittin’ Pretty’ is better than ‘Up for a bit with the Pastels’ though!!!

Wow! Not sure if I ever really looked at this one before, Jim. And it's freakin' AWESOME! Reminds me of so many bands I want to get back into. Just so much great gems across the board.

A reference for sure.

One love, brother!
