OUR “WANT-IT” LIST
Here you will find a list of bands that we eventually plan to cover here on 80MFL. You can see that it’s already pretty long, but is by no means exhaustive. So, we need your help. If you would like to be a contributing writer and you know any of the bands below extensively, feel free to create a playlist and send it our way. (Be sure to follow the guidelines set forth on our Ground Rules page.) If we post your list, we’ll be sure to give you full credit too! Thanks, and please help us expand our library to be a quality resource for all music lovers.
