80's Guilt Mix: #50-#01

We usually forget about how annoying it is to get these things finished once they've been started... Somehow the "2000's LMAO" mix from over the summer was finished within 4 days, while this one took 2.5 weeks (a period of life which mostly sucked). Whatever... It's finished and probably looks way better in this format than in the individual posts...

The last half of the decade seems pretty evenly distributed. Early decade did not fair especially well, while mid-decade kicked slightly more ass than we expected. 1982 did very well, unsurprisingly, since it's the best year of the 80's.

It's finally done.
