From the decade that gave us the IBM personal computer, Britain’s war with Argentina over the Falklands, Marty McFly struggling to get “Back To The Future” and everyone asking “Who Shot J.R.?” comes the music of the era when songs such as “We Got The Beat,” “Always Something There To Remind Me,” “The Warrior,” “Only The Lonely” and “I Just Died In Your Arms” filled the airwaves.
