Totally Awesome 80's - I #AtoZChallenge
Welcome back to the Totally Awesome 80’s!

Any playlist that starts with a Billy Joel song is wonderful
ReplyDeleteTiffany, Belinda and NKOTB - it doesn't get much more 80s than that! Happy memories.

I have to admit, not much into the sappy New Kids but enjoyed all the rest and love that Elton John video with a young Bruno from Dancing With The Stars, dancing in his S & M outfit.
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteExcellent song set! I don't remember Tiffany covering "I Think We're Alone Now". It's not exactly like the original, though. I definitely put her own spin on this oldie. I finished making my home-made pizza that we're having for dinner tonight while I listened your entire playlist. :) Have a great weekend!
Check out today's Looney Tune Injun Putty Tat Art Sketch when you get a moment, my friend. Happy A2Zing!!
Yeah, I was so irritated when MTV stopped showing actual music videos! They were an interesting phenomenon -- sometimes terrible, of course, but some were really works of art.

Perfect list for me to have while reading all the other blogs. I Can't Go For That is my fave of them.
