OK, Sunday I spent a few hours in the truck and was listening to "The Big 80s" on "the bird" (Sirius Satellite Radio).  I can't believe I use the most advanced technology available to listen to cheesy old music sometimes.  But I'm feeling a little nostalgic lately.  Anyway, they came up with the top prom songs of the 1980s.  Link

For those of you not sold on paying for radio, think of it this way, it's all the benefits of a iPod, with none of the hassles.  Really, it's like renting an iPod for less money than you'd spend downloading music.  And you don't even have to think about what to listen to just pick a channel and they do the rest from the very latest hip-hop to obscure recordings from the bowels of country music.
