I was surprised to see today’s SOTD on the list of most underrated 80s songs. Not because of its critical acclaim, which is richly deserved, but because I figured it remained pretty well known today.
In fact, it is the fourth-least streamed song on the list, a sad state of affairs for an iconic 80s staple.
Why is it that I increasingly find myself drawn to 80s music? Every time I hear one of these big 80s tracks by some British one-hit wonder, the decade rises higher and higher in my esteem.
Honestly, if I were putting together a list of the best 50 songs in the world, I’m pretty sure something like A-Ha’s ‘Take On Me’ would show up pretty high.
Perhaps it’s just nostalgia for my formative decade. That’s probably the simplest explanation. These songs are no longer just songs but little time machines that bring me back to a time in my life that is now bathed in warm memories.
