Mary,
ReplyDeleteWhile I worked on my archived posts with problems this morning I listened to your top 20 80s playlist. I remember all of these fabulous hits from the day. This is perhaps my favorite decade for mewsic. There was so much good stuff to come out of this era movies and TV shows which usually had excellent theme mewsic, too. Thanks for putting the wiggle in my move while I worked and for sharing the dance floor with the 4M gals & me today. Have a tunetastic day!

Thanks, Cathy!
DeleteI was in my late teens/early twenties during the 80s. I think this is when some of the music had it's biggest impact on me.

Totally agree with Cathy. There's some fantastic tunes in the 80's! Those were my party days for sure. I'm now following all of your social networks... I notice you have a different name for instagram. It didn't come up right away I had to try a couple of times, but I got it!! hehehe~ Have a rockin' week my friend! Sure am glad you're one of us now! Woo Hoo Your tunes definitely rocked the house!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie!
DeleteThis was another fun one to put together. Looking forward to more fun themes.

Hell of a collection here, Mary. I liked all of these except "Ebony and Ivory" (too wimpy for my tastes) and "Upside Down" (I actually felt sorry for Diana Ross when it came out). Have to give this whole playlist a listen when I get an hour or so.
ReplyDeleteI love the 80's. I think it was one of the more fun decades when it came to experimentation with music. Enjoy that playlist!
Delete~Mary
Great songs. I remember them all in my junior high and high school days. Thanks for posting them.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, Pat! It was a fun decade for music.

I grew up in the 50's and 60's but I love the 80's!!!!! My favorite decade. And two Lionel Richie classics on your list.
ReplyDeleteIt really was a great era for music. I'm glad that you enjoyed the list! Thanks for stopping by!

Oh man, that post was a trip down memory lane! In my teens I was listening to a lot of those songs on your list. And my boys love "another one bites the dust" They usually sing it when they munch on strawberries
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious! We used to sing it everytime our sports team won a game. Of course, that was followed up with We Are The Champions.
Delete~Mary
Talk about a blast from the past. OK I am an 80 baby I still loved the 80s music.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!
Delete~Mary
Lots of good ones there. I did love the whole Olivia Newton John 'Physical' album. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was a good one!
Delete~Mary
There is some really good songs on these list! These are so energetic, I love your list :)!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sondra! I appreciate that!
Delete~Mary
It was interesting reading the comments as I found myself surprisingly ambivalent toward many of these songs. The Police and Queen are particularly timeless, though. Thanks for sharing. I did enjoy the walk down memory lane but guess I'm even less nostalgic than I thought. Be well!
ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad, I feel the same way about most of the 90's and the 00's. Thanks for dropping by!
Delete~Mary
Rock on out!!! These must be played loud!
ReplyDeleteTurn it up to Eleven!
