(Finished January 12th, 2025) Part 8 of the Most Fun Songs of the Late 70s the Entire 80s

Hello,

This is at least the 700th blog that I've written about the greatest decade of music ever, that would be the 80s.  The music of the late 70s throughout the end of the 1989 is indeed amazing. Inspired by watching the "Tetris" movie and the amazing 80s songs they played I thought we needed yet another 80s blog. This one will feature some great late 70s songs as well.

From time to time I go back to see if there's a blog I could work on from about a year ago. This is one of those blogs. I thought now would be a good time to continue this blog series.

(Finished January 4th, 2025) Part 2 of Songs For Our National Nightmare To Accompany A Second Trump presidency

Hello,

On the incredibly sad night we found out we'll have to live under the draconian rule of president Dumbass again. I find this incredibly sad and heartbreaking. The man has no moral character, honesty isn't a thing he values and he has the brain cells of a donkey. He's like Danny Devito in "Twins", he has every bad attribute one person can have. It's going to be four more years of hell with this buffoon as our "leader".

Although this makes me very sad I did have some positive feelings. I still live in the greatest country in the world- for now. This is a time we are going to have to stand up our fellow Americans and anyone else that needs our help.

18) Bill Conti "Gonna Fly Now (Theme From 'Rocky')":

I wish we could just do this for the next four years. Sadly no amount of shaking will get rid of Trump? 19) Taylor Swift "Shake It Off":

20) Chumbawamba "Tubthumping":

21) The Beatles "Let It Be":

22) Michael Jackson "Black Or White":

23) This is another "Wish You Were Here" by Incubus, but with a much different feeling:

24) Pink Floyd "Shine On You Crazy Diamond":

25) Soundgarden "Rusty Cage":

26) Christopher Cross "Ride Like The Wind":

27) Martha and the Vandellas "Nowhere To Run":

28) The Smiths "How Soon Is Now":

29) Tori Amos "Crucify":

30) XTC "Here Comes President Kill Again":

31) Christina Aguilera "The Fighter":

This song was written about the type of person that Donald Trump was. A man who earned money the old fashioned way- he earned it. Trump indeed was 'a fortunate son" and now he's going to be the commander-in-chief? 32) Creedence Clearwater Revival "Fortunate Son":

"Your misery and hate will kill us all." 33) My Chemical Romance "Welcome To The Black Parade":

34) Billy Preston "Nothing From Nothing":

35) Bob Marley and The Wailers "Get Up, Stand Up":
