There are a few things in life that everyone should enjoy; a cold drink on a hot day, a burger fresh off the grill and 80’s music of course. 80’s music is as American as apple pie and annoying teenagers, and stands alone as possible the most unifying period of music since orchestrated music was invented. The 80’s was wacky, fun, rebellious, dark, hedonistic, satanic, folksy, loud, subdued, depressing, colorful, and obnoxious. Anybody could find their musical niche in that era which was typified by a lack monikers and boundaries. These songs would be what I would consider the best of their generation and they span the many peaks and valleys of that long gone era, though I did try to skip the overly cliché songs that one would expect. This is a mix that truly has something for everyone.
