7 or so years ago, I made a Top 100 songs of the 80s. It was my first time really exploring the 80s in a way that resulted in any sort of a chart or list, so it gave me an idea as to what I liked about the decade. On one hand, I remember being surprised at how many songs from across the decade I found that I really loved. Admittedly, I'm not the biggest fan of music from before my time (which I consider to be 1994 onward). But then on the other hand, it was a bit of a challenge to fill a full Top 100 without defaulting to Madonna and other favs.
Since then, I have discovered more music from the 80s and found a bigger appreciation for songs I've always known but never really gave much time to. So this time, I put more effort into going through each year and picking out songs I had forgotten about and considering them for a new version of my Best of the 80s list. I wasn't able to get to a Top 500 like I did with the 90s and 2000s, but I did put together a Top 350 list that includes songs from the 80s that I enjoy. This time I didn't put any limits on artist counts like I did with the other lists, so Madonna is represented quite a bit on here (I think she has 13 songs in the list), while several others are approaching ten, but I think there's a decent variety on here. It'll be a fun playlist to go to when I want my 80s fix!
