It's been a popular trend in music that has been growing in recent years (probably due to musicians who grew up at the right time, cycle of influence, etc). With reddit's help, I have made 3 Spotify playlists (so far), with over 100 songs that are modern but have an 80s sound, feel, or songwriting style. Links: **Part 1:** http://open.spotify.com/user/12755228/playlist/3EcMXiGDKeOJqzj0SDnbuP **Part 2:** http://open.spotify.com/user/12755228/playlist/6VEpbAcoDWHqQHjZg9l5fN **Part 3:** http://open.spotify.com/user/12755228/playlist/5CerjklfeoxrSTSPPTrx7f ***Individual song YouTube links below*** [Atomic Tom -
