I'm an 80s baby who loves all music genres. Growing up, my mom had eclectic taste, and my older sisters were always on top of music trends. I remember as a kid listening to B96.3, Smooth Jazz WNUA, and a few other stations in Chicago—back when radio actually rocked and didn’t suck like it does now. Those were the days when music had soul, and every song was a vibe.
So, I’m starting this fun series where I match zodiac signs with songs from different generations. Let’s kick things off with the 80s, where neon lights, big hair, and even bigger beats ruled the world. The rise of hip-hop's golden age. From synth-heavy jams to soulful ballads, the 80s had something for everyone.
