Great post, Rory 🙂 Thank you very much!! The 80s were quite a decade, musically speaking! If I may (otherwise, you’ll have to erase my comment, LOL) I’d like to add four links to your list… They are two of my favorite songs from each band…

Be my guest Cyranny 🙂
A normal TOTW would usually cover anywhere between 12 – 18 tracks, but they take roughly an hour to put together and they also take into consideration the tracks from all eras, these are smaller – only concentrating from 1980 – 1989 and only hold 7 tracks a piece, It’s sometimes hard to know which are the best tracks to select and even harder if you don’t follow the bands.
Whilst l knew/know of AC/DC and l am okay with them, l only know a couple of their hits, but l hadn’t heard of Scorpions so l was at a loss – but glad you liked it and thanks for the extra links – sometime later this year all the bands mentioned this weekend will be slotted in for a much fuller TOTW episode, so l will make sure to add these 4 tracks in each 🙂
Great music Rory! Loving it!
Hey Carol Anne – glad to hear it 🙂
