Popular Songs Of 1985, Vol. 1

Okay, get ready to feel REALLY old now! Believe it or not, all of the songs included here are now 30 years old! Which means that you are now 30 years older than you were when you first heard them. Let that sink in for just a minute... Now, let's take a nostalgic journey through your past with some great '80s tunes! (And a few cheesy ones.)  ~  JH

Songs By Bands With Four-Letter Names, Vol. 1

And now we begin a series of posts that you helped me come up with last week. (You know who you are, I don't need to tag you all.) Volume 1 consists of 20 songs by bands with four letters in their names. No more, no less. If your favorite band/artist didn't make this list, just wait. Volume 2 is on the way. If you submitted a 4-letter solo artist (not a band), those will be in a separate post altogether – but it's coming too! So, be patient…and enjoy!  ~  JH
