It turned out to be 7 discs, probably 130 songs, maybe 60 or so artists arranged from A - Z, and all the songs are from roughly 1980 - 1985. Everything from Joan Armatrading, to Billy Idol, to Tears for Fears, the Violent Femmes, and ZZ Top, and a lot of others. I'm sure there's some cheesy stuff in there.

If you want a set, let me know. If you want the tracklist first, I have it on my computer at work and can email it to you on monday.

Wow! These are great responses...I've missed conversing with you guys and gals.

JD, that sounds like an excellent set up discs. I'd love to get a copy of them for you but that's a mighty big task. I've purchased some CDs in the last year that I really haven't had the chance to listen to yet. Could I trade you a brand new Evan Dando CD for the set (and a surprise disc too)? Don't know whether you still have my mailing address but shoot me an email if you do not: it is a yahoo account preceded by mlcheist.

Stone and Davey, you come through as always. Love you guys! I'm going to go to half.com and see if either disc is available for purchase ~ also going to do some surfing and see if I can pickup a new disc on the cheap.

Mad Rhetorik, are you one of our former regulars who went through a moniker change? I'm trying to figure out who you are if you did. Your suggestions were awesome ~ I'm going to see if there is a worthy Def Leppard and Bon Jovi greatest hit CD out there. Comest out and let me know who you is.

I probably should have clarified my original post. My son's superior loves 80's music ~ Ryan is the one who classifed it as "cheesey". :-)

Update on Ryan: I haven't heard from him in a while. Evidently where he based in Iraq doesn't have telephone or email service or they haven't been able to get it established yet. No news is supposed to be good news but it sure is hard on this Mom's nerves.

Additional suggestions would be appreciated, if more come to mind. I intend to include CDs in each of this young Marine's care packages & will be sending him one about every two to three weeks. His family is low income & cannot afford to send him anything while he is deployed. In fact, when my son emailed me prior to one of our last contacts, he said: "Mom, my 3 best buddies never receive any mail or care packages. Well, I take that back. Lcpl H just received his first piece of mail...a bill." So, I have adopted all 3 and keep them in cards, letters, and care packages tailored to their likes. :-)

Thanks again ~ more suggestions welcomed ~ its so good to communicate here again~

Best,
Mary
