(Finished November 11th, 2021) B101's Top 500 Songs of the 80s, Part 18: Songs 177-160

Hello,

It only took me 11.5 months to finish this blog.

Because I haven't taken on enough projects already I decided I'd start yet one more project. I Googled The Top Songs of the 80s and found a Billboard list, but I didn't want to pay for that. I'm sure that Billboard would call that proprietary information. Next I thought I could do my Top 100 80s songs on my iTunes, but that ended up being too much work. I continued Googling and stumbled across this B101 countdown- they're an 80s and More station out of Providence. Since I found this easily and there's no financial strings attached I'm hoping this isn't proprietary information. Thanks to B101.

There's a lot of great music here in 2021, but the music of the 80s was amazing!!

177) Genesis "That's All":

176) The Talking Heads "Burning Down The House":

174) Katrina & The Waves "Walking On Sunshine":

I heard this song coming from someone's car the other day and I realized how much I love this song still. 162) Toto "Africa":
