Acually I liked 1980, granted some of songs that were charting I did not like for the first listen. I enjoyed the last hit Tommy James had and also like Dr. Hook's "Sexie Eyes" which was at number 32 and kicked off the second hour of the prgram which means we got to hear on the AT40 Flashback. Some of other 80's shows I got hear Cliff Richards "Dreamin" which I also like.

This is from a guy who is in his late 20's. A lot of baby siters really enjoy Casey Kasem and I was exposted to him quite a lot. Being a Broadcaster myself, I consider Kasem to be number in the broadcasters I admire.
