A couple of years ago, I had a lot of fun revisiting the eighties and its music. Also, I always felt that it was a decade that deserved more than two playlists and a DJ mix. Earlier this year, I sought out the help of a dear friend to put together the incredible playlist you’re about to delve into. She shared her favorite rock tunes of the eighties; you will quickly see in this edition that it spans pop rock, post punk rock and new wave. I also took the concept of the cover further: so, you will notice that there are two sides. Each side last just a little less than 45 minutes. It’s just as if you had a 90-minute cassette tape to pop in your deck. Should I say it? OK, I’ll say it. Enjoy!
