Playlists for CDs

I've been messing around with a bunch of old tunes recently. I've enjoyed making a few mix CDs. I know it's not really 'cool' to restrict a playlist to 70-some minutes of music in this iPod day, but what the hell. I'm a retro kind of guy as it is. To prove this, just take a look at the following playlist I've burned to play in my car. I did my very first radio shift back in January 1980. This CD reflects what was available back then.
