Decades Special: The 80s // Weekly Playlist Update

It's time for 80s week of the Weekly Playlist Update Decades Special! So, get your Flock of Seagulls hairstyle and throw on your ruffled shirt and let's party like it's the 80s!

I'd like to say I'm a big fan of 80s music, with Depeche Mode being one of my all time favourite bands. They definitely don't make music like this anymore, so let's get into the classic hits I've picked for this week!

TRACK 1: Tainted Love / Soft Cell (1981)

A classic hit of the 80s that we have most likely danced to at a party when the DJ plays it, because what is a party without Tainted Love? Throw it on and dance like no-one is watching!

TRACK 2: But Not Tonight / Depeche Mode (1986)

I'll be honest, my favourite song of all time is Enjoy The Silence by Depeche Mode but this track is a very close second (and it was released in the 80s, unlike Enjoy The Silence..). While it may not be a classic, as far as I'm aware, it's still a fantastic track that I highly recommend!

TRACK 3: Mr. Blue / Yazoo (1983)

I wish I could say I've listened to Yazoo a lot but unfortunately, I know only a handfull of songs - Mr. Blue being one of them and easily my favourite. The chorus is what made me fall in love with the song, although I couldn't tell you exactly why other than maybe one or two of the lines I could relate to.

Happy Listening!

Decades Special: The 70s // Weekly Playlist Update

P L A Y L I S T / L I N K

It's the 70's in this weeks Decade Special of the Weekly Playlist Update. Now, the 70s isn't a decade of music I really listen to so picking three tracks wasn't easy but I did it, so here they are..

TRACK 1: T.N.T / AC/DC (1975)
This isn't a track that I'd listen to out of choice but it is a track I did hear quite a bit in my childhood, thanks to Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4. Nothing beats a bit of nostalgia!

TRACK 2: I Want You to Want Me / Cheap Trick (1978)

Again, not a track I'd listen to out of choice but a track that reminds me of something I love a lot. In 10 Things I Hate About You, a band called Letters to Cleo cover this track so naturally, the original is awesome as well!

TRACK 3: Teenage Kicks / The Undertones (1978)

Unlike the others, this is a track that I actually really love and would happily listen to. Thanks to my dad, for bringing it into my life!

Happy Listening!
