Making a College Years playlist

I've been contemplating making a playlist of tunes my friends and I all enjoyed in college. Hopefully, I can get some help from those of you who put up with me back then !

This list is not meant to be a comprehensive list of early 80s music. I'm just trying to remember what most of us, as a group, liked to listen to. Much of what is here is stuff that I may not have picked up on my own, but owe to the taste of my dear friends:

Adam Ant Friend or Foe
Aerosmith
Blondie
Bruce Springsteen
Cars
David Bowie Let's Dance in particular
Devo
Dire Straits
Duran Duran
Elvis Costello
English Beat, The
Face Dancer "Red Shoes" a local phenomenon
Fixx, The
Fleetwood Mac
Foreigner
Gary Numan
Genesis
Hall and Oates
Heart
Human League
Jackson Brown
Jethro Tull
Joan Jett
Joe Jackson Night and Day and Look Sharp
Journey
Knack, The
Led Zeppelin
Pat Benatar
Peter Gabriel
Police, The
REO Speedwagon
Rainbow's Down to Earth
Ramones
Roxy Music
Split Enz
Stevie Nicks
Stray Cats
Styx The Grand Illusion
U2
Ultravox Vienna
Vapors, The "Turning Japanese"
Yaz Upstairs at Eric's

I look forward to corrections and comments from my droogies.
