For those who participated in the "80's Oblivion" contest on the Memory Lane site, get ready for a lot of oblivion, 70's style! There will be many classics thrown in too, for these are all personal favorite songs of mine today! Many artists, such as Boz Scaggs, Steely Dan, Gary Wright, Todd Rundgren, and the Alan Parsons Project, will have more than one song represented. So here we go!
