Assignment 23 - Thomas Kenny

Perfect playlist to create nostalgia for 1980’s rock n’ roll:

1: Queen – Another One Bites the Dust

2: AC/DC – Thunderstruck

3: Survivor – Eye of the Tiger

4: Guns n’ Roses – Paradise City

5: Van Halen – Panama

As a work-around for not having been alive in the 1980’s, I consulted my father about this list, as he was a young man at the time and enjoyed the rock n’ roll genre. I structured this list based on the bands rather than the songs, seeing as how each had multiple smash hits in the decade, and picked the songs that (in my opinion) was the most definitive for each group. Anyone who was a fan of rock n’ roll during the 80’s will surely remember all of these songs, and hearing one song from a particular band will surely remind them of many of the band’s other songs as well as any experiences they had whilst listening to these songs back in the 80’s. Even as a 21^st century youth, I prefer this playlist over anything that’s come out in the last decade.
