11. The Music

Nothing says nostalgia quite like the 80s music channel on satellite radio. Michael Jackson, Radio Head, Prince, REO Speedwagon, U2, Queen. So then there’s Will’s favorite song in Stranger Things, “Should I Stay Or Should I Go?” The 80s were the heyday for rock and left an indelible mark on all music since then except that the decade’s music was awful.

There were some great artists, such as those listed above. But that’s about it. They weren’t touring everywhere so that raving fans across the country could jam out to their hair-rocking concerts. Most of the music that came over the radio was pretty awful techno garbage.
