I Completed 80s MusicAuthor: The 80s Mixtaper
In 2016 I started listening to every single UK chart entry from January 1st 1980 to December 31st 1989. This is the story of that journey, the bands, the music and how 80s music unfolded through lots of lovely playlists. If youre new to 80s music, consider this a great entry point. If youre here for nostalgia, youre in for a treat! Wham! Duran Duran, Billy Ocean, Bros, The Smiths - you name it, I have you covered. As midlife crises go, it could be worse!
