The 80's really were a decade that anyone and everyone would absolutely love to have lived through, the style, the music, the cars.. perfect.
As a musician, I always try and add some sort of 80's nod into songs to get that real vibe.
A lot of 80s songs have also been covered by artists, still to this day. Although what may surprise you is that some of your favourite 80's songs were actually covers.
