10 (+1) Songs That Scream 1980s

,

1980smusicI recently was looking at a Rolling Stone magazine and recognized none of the singers or their songs.  I haven’t been into new/recent music for a long time.  The last CD I bought was from a long time ago.  I think many of the artists on the radio sound the same today.  Since I grew up in the 1980s and my first concert was Neil Diamond (boy, was that fun), I decided to include a popular song for each year from 1980 to 1989.  There’s some good ones (cheesy in all their glory and lyrics) in here.  I included videos, but we’ll see how long they stay up.

1980 had Funkytown by Lipps Inc
