I never criticised anyone for playing an 80s tune or
even for people to remix one or whatever. If all you
played is 80s then i certainly would not pay any
attention to the show or gig...not that i do anyway

I don't mind reading that kind of info about a
particular artist that I like. To get that kind of
info from tons of people i don't even know, it's a
waste of time and mailbox space.

It's not really that interesting at all. They'll be
people coming from different backgrounds looking
for something different and then move onto something
else later.
I'm sure there are people that use to listen to death
metal on this list. I don't really need a map how
they got from Cannibal Corpse to Tosca.
