Monday Music: Back to the Future, I mean 80s...

at7:00 amOn Saturday we are having my sister's 40th birthday party and in preparation we have been preparing a 1980s playlist.  When I think of the 1980s I tend to think of 1980s pop music.  I think this is because I was born in 1983!

To make the playlist though I had to think of lots of songs that were not just the obvious 80s pop tunes and here are some of them to start your working week!

NWA- Express Yourself

Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart

Ain't Nobody - Rufus and Chaka Khan

The Specials - Ghost Town

The Smiths - The Boy With the Thorn in His Side

The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary

The Cult and the Cure scared me in the 1980s - as did my sister's poster of Michael Stipe - I thought he was going to climb off the wall and kill me in my sleep (really!).  She also had loads of Salvador Dali postcards, and a Winston Churchill poster.  We shared a room and as the oldest she got most say in how it looked and what we listened to! In addition to being a bit of a goth, and then a raver, she also had an impossible to shift crush on Feargal Sharkey and still has a crush on Peter Capaldi.  I think former punks must be her bag!
What is your favourite song from the 1980s?  Do you have any memories from the 1980s you want to share?Tags:family,Monday Music,music,nostalgiaEmail ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookNo comments:Post a Comment
