No, she didn't really like those... from what I can tell when we merged our tape collection together, of more than one tape from a group (which must mean she likes them), are Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, and Bryan Adams (off the top of my head).
*I*'m the pop AND 80's guy. When I like a group I usually start getting all their tapes. Lessee... for pop I guess Belinda Carlise, Go-Go's, Cars, Aerosmith, Dire Straits, Dead or Alive, Erasure, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Idol, Billy Joel, Huey Lewis and the News, Madonna (exception here: just 80's and early 90's stuff), Roxette, Poison, Weird Al, They Might Be Giants, plus numerous 80's, dance/rap compilations.
