Music Help Needed ....

[SerendipityCrafts]

Since Hugh and I met back in high schoool, we thought it might be fun to play music from the "good ol days". We are creating a playlist on our computer and we need some help.

What songs do you (or your parents) remember fondly from the late 70's - early 80's?

Well I'm only 21, and though I don't remember them from the day, that is the music that I listen to and have an obsession with. What are your fave bands from that time? I'm sure I could help you with this but I also don't know what bands you don't like.

I'm sure I could help you with this but I also don't know what bands you don't like.

Well let's just say that I was a disco queen and Hugh rocked on. I did the hustle, the bump, the freak, dance fever, YMCA, disco duck (gawd I can't believe I am admitting to that!) and Hugh chilled out to the Doobie Brother's, ELO and Genesis to name but a few.

I have done a search for the top 100 songs .... and I already have quite a few but I was just wondering if anyone had any MUST have song suggestions that they remember from their youth.

Just the way you are- Billy Joel
Dust in the Wind- Kansas
How Deep is Your love- Bee Gees
Stayin' Alive- Bee Gees
