I Love The 80s

Good Morning!

For this week’s playlist I decided to go back to the 80s and share some of my favorite 80s songs! It just so happens that I ended up with all songs by either male artists or all male groups. The next time I do an 80s playlist, I will have to do an all female version!

My blog post title is a nod to when VH1 ran the series I Love The 80s and then followed that up with I Love The 90s and I Love the 2000s. I loved every episode of those little mini series! The mix of old clips from TV, movies, and general pop culture mixed in with celebrity commentary was so good! I wish they would air it again. Since they haven’t yet, I can get my fix online as most episodes do seem to be on YouTube!

Onto my playlist!

What is your favorite 80s song?! My favorite from this list is definitely Sweet Child O’ Mine. It’s a little surprising to me how much I love that song in general, not just as an 80s favorite song. I love everything about it from the lyrics, to the rifts, to the passion in Axl Rose’s voice. I think it’s amazing!!
