The 1980's was a decade with the BIG hair, arcade games, shoulder pads, huge hoop earrings, bandanas, neon everything, scrunchies, side ponies, penny loafers, leather bomber jackets, jelly bracelets and acid wash jeans. It never mattered how crazy the fashion because the music of the 80s was some of the best of all time. My fellow Ohio University Odyssey writer and best friend Olivia love the 80s. Even though we missed the whole decade, its hard not to love them. Which is why you need to love these 40 songs in order to be our best friend.
