Question
Hi! My mom's turning 40 this year and I want to give her an ipod with all her good old 80's music in it. The problem is aside from a few billy idol songs, I don't know any 80's songs that were popular in the Philippines. Can you suggest a good resource of popular 80's music in the Philippines? Thanks so much in advance. I appreciate it.

Answer
Dear Pauline,

Please refer to this link: http://www.gramble.com/music/80speak.html

These are lists of songs which made the top 100 in the US but more or less were also the hits here in the Philippines. Just to add, I'm also in my late 30's and I hope your Mom was like me, a sucker for Billy Idol songs back in my teens.

Maraming salamat po!!

Expertise

I can answer just about everything from the 80`s, rock, pop, trivias, artist infos, Billboard chart positions, albums, etc. But songs that became hit in the Philippines and OPM songs are my expertise. I grew on 80`s music and still listening to 80`s music as it is the best era in music history for me. My friends call me the walking encyclopedia of 80`s music. I got books & collections of CDs, all from the 80`s.

Experience

Let's just say music is my life and my source is a lifetime of knowledge about 80's music and then some.
