The 80's were kind of a mess- but, there were some really good songs out there.

My Mom vacuumed the house all the time playing lotsa good stuff and I just absorbed everything.

So, here we go!!!!!

Every single thing done by Kate Bush. All of them. And my bald bb Peter Gabriel, so good.

But also basically everything that happened in the heavy metal scene, so much movement! So many amazing albums were released that decade.

When these two songs came on EVERYONE got on the floor:

The live version of Save me is even better than the studio version






This makes me cry everytime



80s soundtracks were pretty epic. Ghostbusters, Purple Rain, The Mission, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, Flashdance, Footloose, Dirty Dancing, Good Morning Vietnam.
