All this M83 got me on a serious 80s kick. “Midnight City” put me in the mood, and Hall & Oates just took it from there. How can you disparage a decade that gave us Michael Jackson and the Talking Heads?

M83 – Midnight City

Michael Jackson – Don’t Stop ‘Till You Get Enough

Hall & Oates – Rich Girl

Toto – Love Isn’t Always On Time

Van Halen – Right Now

The Clash – London Calling

Queen – Don’t Stop Me Now

Michael Jackson – P.Y.T.

Prince – Kiss

ABC – The Look Of Love
