(Finished June 15th, 2026) Part 1 of The Best of 1955 to 1985

Hello,

Last night my friend and I went to see the "Back To The Future" musical. I would highly recommend you go to see this musical if you can. It's a great story- well you know the story-especially if such a certain age- great music, singing and acting. Also I'm not going to lie there was a lot of nostalgia involved. And the Eccles here in Salt Lake City is always a good place to see a show. Strangely enough I saw Huey Lewis and the News also at the Eccles.

This musical is mainly set in 1955 and 1985. Due to this musical I thought I could do a blog series about the best songs of 1955 and 1985. I'll post one song from 1955 and then two songs from 1985.

1) Bill Haley & His Comets "Rock Around The Clock":

2) Big Audio Dynamite "E = MC2":

3) ZZ Top "Delirious":

4) Frank Sinatra "Love (Is The Tender Trap)":

5) Yello "Oh Yeah":

6) Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers "Don't Come Around Here No More":

7) Tennessee Ernie Ford "Sixteen Tons":

8) Tina Turner "We Don't Need Another Hero":

9) 'Til Tuesday "Voices Carry":

10) Bo Diddley "I'm A Man":

11) The Waterboys "The Whole of the Moon":

12) Tears For Fears "Mothers Talk":

13) Perez Prado "Cherry Pink & Apple Blossom White":

14) Talking Heads "Stay Up Late":

15) The Style Council "Shout To The Top":

16) The Crew-Cuts "Earth Angel":

17) Sting "Fortress Around Your Heart":
