K-Tel's "Rock 80" this month on AiV
This is by far my favorite K-Tel album. It introduced me to the Romones. The Pretenders. Blondie. Pat Benatar. This is K-Tel's Rock 80 . I got this album on cassette for Christmas in 1980 and wore that tape out. I must say, it was this album that shaped my musical tastes in the early 80s. I was drawn more to the new wave music and early alternative music thanks, in part, to Rock 80 . This album will be streamed in its entirety on Adventures in Vinyl for the month of May. Adventures in Vinyl can be heard at the following times: Saturday, 12:30 pm (Central) Sunday, 4 pm (Central) Tuesday, 1:30 pm (Central) Wednesday, 2 am (Central) Thursday, 10 am (Central)
