"Let My Love Open The Door" by Pete Townsend **** Alright, that's it for B. Rad. I've really enjoyed exploring music from the late 1970's/early 1980's. I'm amazed at how diverse the music was at that point- from the disco, to the punk, to the British New Wave...I'm really impressed at a good deal of the music from that time, especially Joy Division, which I hadn't been familiar with until researching this period. Thanks for listening, guys!!! Edited February 18, 2009 by methodwriter85
methodwriter85 Posted February 25, 2009 Author Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) I know that the story's over and everything, but I thought I'd take this moment to post some other songs from the era that didn't quite make the cut.... Here's a great disco song from that era- "You Make Me Feel Mighty Real" by Sylvester http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ItJXHz000g God, I love this beat. And here's a song that I wanted to use for Jake, but I eventually decided "Bad Girls" fit the mood better. "Hot Child in the City" by Nick Gilder http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFMlvUyBq-0 Edited February 25, 2009 by methodwriter85

methodwriter85 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 I'm going to go ahead and start re-posting the music selections that I posted in the orginal B. Rad thread before we got to Chapter 36.
