Yeah, the 70's was a "groovy" time for music. However, my favorite era of music is and will always be the 1980's, for both personal and artistic reasons. I know many people hated the androgynous look, big hair, and experimental sounds but before you roll your eyes and go to the next blog, check out this playlist. Some songs you will recognize right away, others maybe a blur or maybe you never heard it at all. Drum roll please...: )...in no particular order:
