I'd suggest picking up the Living In Oblivion series and the series from Rhino that I can't recall the name of. Find what you like and work your way back to the albums from there.

Ever notice that what now passes for '80s music was rarely played on the radio back then, unless you happened to live in a college town? Try picking up a Top 40 list from that era. Of course the same thing can be said about the '60s, what is listened to now is not what was popular then. So there is hope Britney et al will fade away.

I recommend the Vice City soundtrack box set. It helps if you also have fond memories of the game, but there's a lot of good [censored] on there. (or if you aren't as lazy as me, look up the songs and buy the albums they're on)
