The Best Intro Of The 80s?
You know how the intro to a song draws you in? Or sends you spinning back to a specific time and place? Or you know just when the singing starts?
As part of a bigger project I'm attempting I did a bit of crowd-sourcing and got a few of my friends to suggest their favourite intro of the 80's. This is just a rough-around-the-edges idea but I have been having a play in Audacity (a sound editing programme) and came up with this.
All tracks are in chronological order which possibly doesn't work with the mixing but that's something I can reconsider. The full track listing is further down the page.
