1980s

The 1980's were infamous for music and some of the most infamous songs were produced during this time. The greatest Rock n' Roll songs were produced like Livin' on a Prayer, Jump, Pour Some Sugar on Me, Don't Stop Believin', Another One Bites the Dust, Eye of the Tiger, Free Fallin', along with many others. There were also other great hits like I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Man in the Mirror, and Africa by Toto.

When we were listening to music from the 80's in class, most of the music was familiar to me because my parents always played it when I was younger. My mom is a huge fan of Boy George who was in the band Culture Club which were a huge group in the 80's. I think he is an extremely interesting person because he has always been so different and not afraid to do certain things, even if they are so simple, like wearing makeup. In my opinion, I think that people like him during the time in which my parents were growing up changed the music industry forever. Music was becoming more mainstream and more people were watching channels like MTV, creating more originality and uniqueness amongst people. Music videos allowed artists to share their music in a way they never had before, and the influence artists had over listeners was huge. Music was and is able to produce so much change and is still so influential over many aspects of life today.
