Who says the 80s aren't in? I have some of my current and all time favorite "oldies" songs listed, 1970s-1980s. And no, they aren't out of style.
Sweet Child 'O Mine - Guns & Roses
One of my favorite things about baseball season is the walkout songs the players choose to have playing as they prepare to bat. One player at school chose this classic to play. Makes me super happy he appreciates this era as much as I do.
ANYTHING JOURNEY
Don't even get me started.. I know every song! They are by FAR my favorite, over Billy Joel and Queen (some other personal faves). In 2017, I was able to see them twice, and they absolutely blow me away each time I listen to their music. It literally gives me chills as Don't Stop Believin' plays over the speakers every fourth quarter of our football games at Mississippi State. Anyway, any of their songs are the best choice, but if you want names, 'Faithfully', 'Why Can't This Night Go On Forever', and 'Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'' are close to my heart.
House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
I'm not too familiar with The Animals, however, I know this is song is quite famous. I heard this song performed on 'The Voice' a couple years ago, and really liked it. Then I realized I already knew the song. Ha! Such a good bop.
Dream On - Aerosmith
THIS IS MY SONG.
Wanted Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi
Such a special band. One of the best. If you aren't familiar with 'Livin' On A Prayer' or 'You Give Love A Bad Name', stop reading and go give a listen.
Matter of Trust - Billy Joel
Billy is a tough one.. I love others of his, but this one makes me exhilarated! His live versions of 'Root Beer Rag', 'Uptown Girl', and 'It's Still Rock & Roll to me' are pretty fun to watch. If you memorize every word to 'We Didn't Start the Fire' like I did, we can have a sing off. Lemme know.
Under Pressure - Queen
We all know them by now, if you didn't before the movie 'Bohemian Rhapsody' released. They brought some of the world's best songs, like 'We Will Rock You', 'We Are The Champions', and one of my favorites, 'Radio Ga Ga'.
"Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers,
You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers,
Next phase, new wave, dance craze, anyways,
It's still rock and roll to me."
