| 2 | The Smiths : What Difference Does it Make |
|
The Smiths were one of the essential acts of the 80's. I picked the Single version of this as it sounds a little smoother than the album version.

| 3 | Pete Shelly : Homosapian |

From a solo album from the singer of the Buzzcocks. A little different than from his usual outings. Him and synths and drum machines. Truly an unappreciated gem!

Magnificent. You deserve fifty million points for Husker Du alone. I shall retrieve my copy of Candy Apple Grey immediately! I love that you have gone for some of the not so obvious selections here, The Clash one for instance. You are right about the Stone Roses and the burden of a near perfect first record. Wonderful. I would like to be playing this mix this second!

Mixtape Potpourri I: Second Place
I only know the big names in this mix. Which is kind of normal, because I never even lived in the eighties. A friend of mine picks on me because he's from '89 and I'm a '90 kid. Anyways... nice stuff on here, I feel like checking out some songs. (like number 4)
