Ahora animaos a participar un poco con vuestros comentarios…
En la primera lista (la de VH1), ¿cuáles quitaríais?, ¿cuáles añadiríais?, ¿y en las otras listas?…
Recordad también que en el Azzurro hacemos alguna vez fiestas ochenteras y ponemos música de esta época habitualmente. De hecho uno de nuestros temas más pinchados es Crecí en Los 80 de El Reno Renardo.

Estudiar no era lo mío por lo que comencé a dedicarme desde muy joven a algo relacionado con la imagen y la informática, en una productora que trabajaba para la televisión autónomica. Después ayudé al negocio familiar (el AZZURRO Rock Pub) unos años, y acabó convirtiéndose en mi actividad principal. Desde hace unos años he compatibilizado el Azzurro con llevar adelante un proyecto con 3 socios más: MODPC, una comunidad de aficionados a la informática y una tienda de artículos relacionados con ella. Ambas empresas tienen una importante presencia en Internet.
