The ’90s had some great music and while I’m proud to have lived through the boy band era, the Britney vs. Xtina showdown and the Spice Girls phenomenon, I’m still super bummed that I missed out on the ’80s. I can’t even imagine how much more amazing concerts must have been when everyone was wearing leotards, blinding people with their neon and showing off their big hair. But even though I can’t time machine it back to the ’80s, I can relive the decade through their music and you should too!
Here are the top 10 songs you need to download today!

      Already have most of these songs! Favorite is time of my life, and it's required that you do the dance when it comes on.

      "don't you forget about me"… I love this song, maybe because I've seen the breakfast club so many times… I know it word for word LOL :)

      I love most of these songs. Favourites are definitely Time of my Life and Don't You Forget About Me mainly because the movies are so good. I would add Pretty in Pink by the Psychedelic Furs to the list as well as something Springsteen. I probably need to step away from the 80s.

      Seriously? Sounds like whoever wrote this actually remembers less of the 80s than I do- and I was only in existence during the last three years of them! There are a thousand better songs from the eighties than anything on this list.

      Jesus H. Christ. 'Diddy' is a pompous rapper's nickname. 'Ditty' is the word you meant to type in slide 8. Hooray for basic literacy.

      This list should be referred to as the Most Cliched 80's Songs Every Kid should download. Don't you think any self-respecting music-lover of any age would already own all those songs? C'mon, what if I wrote a list about movies and said, "Hey guys, I got a good one for you, it's called Terminator, and this other little gem no one has heard of called Ghostbusters. Really obvious shit. POINTLESS ARTICLE.

      Yah, i have a wlkeey assignment to post to discussion boards. They’re mostly in Blackboard, which, of the lousy course management tools, is probably the best of a crummy bunch. But the classes i’m taking are also on this proprietary software managed by some Hotel Industry group, and omg, it must’ve been designed in 1996. The functionality is pretty lousy, but the design is even worse. The usability of the product is close to nil as a result.

      You really make it seem really easy together with your presentation but I to find this topic to be actually something which I think I might by no means understand. It kind of feels too complicated and very large for me. I am looking ahead for your next submit, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
