i found a couple of old recordings at archive.org last night – a 1967 american rock station , where I recognised most of the artists, even if I didn't specifically know the records, and an Easter Monday 1984 blast of BBC Radio 1 of Steve Wright In The Afternoon. I lived the eighties and taught myself to listen to pop because I was completely out of touch with the kids in my school and even the small addition of current music helped. I didn't recognise the vast majority of the music or the artists 😁
I played some to The Panda, who was an Eighties Girl from perm to pixie boots and she didn't remember them, either.
Timewise, we're now the same as my Dad listening to 1940s tunes in the 1980s – except he didn't do much of that, unless you count German Army marching songs of the era. He was guarding a POW camp for a while (not by himself, you understand) and the German prisoners would belt out some good 'uns, apparently. He was a slightly off-beat gent 😊
