Monday's Music Moves Me 1980 Style





Welcome to Monday's Music Moves Me 104th edition

This week's theme is "School Days - Billboard Hits the year you graduated high school/favorite prom song" pick. This means simply, you share whatever tunes you got stuck inside your head or just those that are stirring your soul to boogie. 

It's time to get this party on the show...
I graduated in 1980 -  the "Disco" era. It was also a decade chockful of excellent music. Today's generation  calls this "Oldies" music.  Isn't that a funny one? lol

Let's get the groove on with Dr. Hook...



One sound we all loved to hear came from a group who had that special mojo to turn out some real classic dance music...
  
The get-to-your-feet boogie music rocked our worlds, but we enjoyed the quieter, softer, romantic sounds from the 80s. Lionel Ritchie was STILL with the Commodores when this hit released...


Another slow mover from the same year is....


The lack of communication is as an old as time. A popular hit from 1980 was about this very thing....

 



Most of us back in the day reverberated these lyrics a time or two, as well as our children....

Oh what a great mix of music! I just love me some 80's music!

Love some Dr. Hook!! and Into the Night still would make my jam list.

I was 1990 Graduation....and I cannot believe the difference in music in just 10 years. It's so cool how our respective years show the transition from disco to dance pop.

am I techno challenged today - cause I don't see the linky?

You and my mom would definitely get along JUST fine! We were actually listening to the 70's and 80's music channel yesterday while cleaning the house and she kept saying, 'I remember this came out when I was 15,' 'This used to be my FAVORITE song,' and 'I LOVE this group!' LOL

It was a blast though :)

Thanks for sharing a little bit of your past with us! Have a musical week!
