Here is a list of music from the 1980’s.

It is derived from my personal YouTube playlist (which contains all of the songs listed below).

A Few Helpful Reminders:

I only list songs that I have been known to enjoy.

If a song isn’t on this list, it means that:

• I haven’t gotten around to adding it yet

or

• I don’t care for the song
  

Try to keep in mind that this is an entire decade of music to scrub through.

Please don’t be upset if I haven’t added your song.
