Default NOW That's what Alf calls music (80s Edition)
NOW! That's what Alf calls music
(80s Edition)

A coundown from 100 - 1 of my favourite 1980s songs. Not using the same artist more than once (unless in a duo), No re-releases, but will have covers

Other decades to come in time

Feel free to comment, positive or negative comments welcome
