Playslists from CWR's Through the Years

The last few weeks CWR has been doing a countdown of some (there is so much I am not playing -- I could do the show again with all new music and bands) of the best music of period. This has turned out to be a tough task, but rewarding. I started with 1980, since I've done 77-79 shows in the past. I think when the semester starts back up I'll replay the '77, '78, '79, shows again, then continue with 1983, which next to '77, is one of the best years for music ever.

Since some people have asked for a complete list of what I've been playing I thought I'd include it here (you can also read past play lists here). Feel free to drop me a line if you want to know more about an album/artist. If you have comments, maybe I have left off your favorite band or album, let me know that too.
