(Finished January 15th, 2023) Part 1 of A Random 80sish Pop Culture Blog

Hello,

A random blog of 80s music that's still out in the pop culture world. These are just great, great, great songs.

I recently watched "The Last of Us" which features the below songs, the first 4 songs have been in the first five episodes of "The Last of Us".

1) Depeche Mode "Never Let Me Down Again":

The original version is by a-ha, 2) "Take On Me":

3) Erasure "Chains of Love":

This song is used so effectively in "The Last of Us". 4) Linda Ronstadt "Long Long Time":

5) Tears For Fears "Shout":

The Aerosmith song you like even if you don't like Aerosmith. 6) Aerosmith "Angel":

This song blew up because of the most recent season of "Stranger Things". I guess I should actually get around to watching it. 7a) Kate Bush "Running Up That Hill":

7b) The actual song:

Played in "The Sopranos" series finale. Steve Perry sounded so good live in concert. 8) Journey "Don't Stop Believin":

From "The Boys" All three songs are by the Piano Man Billy Joel. 9) We Didn't Start The Fire":

10) "Pressure":

With Olivia Rodrigo- talk about a pop culture reference- 11) "Deja Vu"/"Uptown Girl":

In both "Santa Clarita Diet" and of course "Cobra Kai". 12) Survivor "Burning Heart":

Obviously from both classic "Top Gun" movies and the not so classic "Archer".  13) Cherlene featuring Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone":

From "Black Mirror" 14) The Smiths "Panic":

From the brutally terrible "GLOW" TV series. 15) Scandal featuring Patty Smyth "The Warrior":

From "Umbrella Academy" 16) Kenny Loggins "Footloose":

17) The Clash "Should I Stay Or Should I Go":
