Music 388 entries

This is definitely one category where I could literally have thousands of entries. There were just so many good artists and songs in the 80s. I’ve tried to keep the list to the ones that have a particularly nostalgic factor for me (which is still quite a lot). I actually have about 50 more songs that I still need to add to this list. I do also still own many of these on LP, vinyl single and cassette. I’ll take photos of the ones that I have for the Gallery.
