If it was possible to own stock in one particular channel on XM, I would get all of my money back and then some by investing in 80’s on 8.
I recently made a playlist entitled 80’s Favs for the gym which ended up being 250 songs long. I found myself skipping to the next song while busting tail on the elliptical in an attempt to find my favorite favs. After one workout session of that, I decided it was probably time to create a new playlist with my actual favorites that I can listen to over and over again.
I started making my NEW 80’s Favs playlist and thought, “Hey…most people loves 80’s music. I wonder what songs I’m missing in my library that I would love. I wonder if I love a song that someone has forgotten about.” Therefore, I present my new 80’s Favs playlist to you.
Getting it down to 25 songs was much easier than I thought it would be but putting them in order of volume of love was much more of a challenge than I expected. Some are catchy but some have stronger sentimental value. Some are fantastic but didn’t make the list because they aren’t easy to work out to. And so on.
So cruise through my list and tell me what your favorite 80’s songs are. Who knows…maybe some of them are the same!
