@ Join the Masquerade Gods, your list is impressive. I have listened to probably around 80% of those songs but had completely forgotten all about them! Thank you!!
My collection is pretty mixed and I still go crazy over many of them I grew up with the 80s from my parents, whatever was on the radio at the time, and what I would hear in school. I'm hell ashamed of some of these songs, but this is the soundtrack to my childhood:
