This list plus anything on Casey's Countdown from Jan 1st, 1980 to December 31st, 1989?

Voltaire!!!! What are you doing? Don't post songs in here. Delete that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I took Gepeto's advice and deleted a link to that Sirius station Biff mentioned to verify if it was what he was talking about.

So I'm looking at the top 40 from January 12, 1980 and it occurs to me, "Oh, my God, this is just one week!"

We're probably going to have to do about 500 rounds or so.

Yea there are tons of great pop songs in this decade and why I'm glad we are doing this. I actually listen to a lot regular.

What are we doing, like three for each year over the ten years?

Ten years would be 30 rounds. 11 participants x3 songs each would be 33 songs each year. I could go longer if we decide for more.

I originally said 12, but this category is DEEP. Lets do --- 

15 song mix tape

any 15 you want from that era

at the end we have voting to see who wins.

Sounds cool to me and nice not to do categories for once.

No categories, such as year doesn't matter, repeating the same artists doesn't matter?

If you want to draft U2 every round is fine with me j/k.

Weird Al had 5 albums plus the UHF soundtrack that decade and how many has he done since then.... next draft is 12 rounds of Weird Al

You probably won't win in the voting if you draft the same artist multiple times, but yeah. Its open game.

Yeah guys but you’ll hate me because I intend to following closely. I can’t keep opinions to myself.

Fellas, I'll check in early in the morning, but don't bother hitting F5 on my turn if it comes around to me before 4PM Central. Go do something else, it's not happening. I have no internet access.
