Another great list Jana.....

Such great songs! You don't see hits like that nowadays. ;)

Wow, another good list of songs.

A great list alright. My favourite from that list is The Tide is High - Blondie. I can still remember where I was when I first heard that song. (Can you believe I was in a cow shed milking cows?) :lol:

81 the year i also graduated HS. Some good tunes and alot of good memories.

1981 - a classic year indeed, with classic tunes.

I think I've heard most of those songs. Most recently, I've heard Joey Scarbury's Believe It or Not.

Great list of songs, Jana! :thumb:
