All-American 80's Studs
A BMT Mixtape in Honor of Fourth of July
Admittedly, several of these picks you can see a mile away. But as always, I’ve brought surprises and live performances to enhance your listening and viewing pleasure.
Though several of the musicians themselves might not be too surprising, I dug a little deeper to find some lesser-known songs.
I’ve got some old school 80’s dudes rockin’ out for us in all sorts of ways — pop, ballads, and even a tinge of disco.
Let’s get the party started!
True story: I won this album when I was 10 from a radio contest in Tallahassee. My parents actually schlepped downtown to the station so I could pick it up. I had QUITE the crush on Glenn Frey back in the day!
I remember some of the tunes from No Fun Aloud, but must confess I don’t recall “Don’t Give Up.”
It’s got a sexy rock-meets-disco vibe perfect for the skating rink in the early 80s! The guitar shrieks while the groove is amped up.
