It's back to the pastel and upturned polos as we look at our next two volumes in my Brad's Trip Back To The 80's Bubbatunes collections, so let's look at the track lists shall we?

In between we have some lost classics including the would be Madonna - Regina and her one and only hit "Baby Love", some excellant Human League, Rachel Sweet, David Bowie and even Whitney - pre crack but still super skinny.





bub 119 Brad's Trip Back To The 80s Volume 8 Track List:

02. Never Surrender - Corey Hart

16. Never Gonna Give You Up - Rick Astley
17. I'm So Excited - Pointer Sisters
18. Runaway - Bon Jovi
19. You Shook Me All Night Long - AC/DC

Perhaps a little more mainstream than some of our other volumes, we have top pop hits plus the bubbly late 80's sounds of white soul by Rick Astley, the American Idol of her time Paula Abdul, plus some hard rocking tunes from AC/DC and Bon Jovi. Lest we forget my gals Pat and Debbie also make their marks here - Debbie with her 1986 hit "French Kissin'" which did make my original top 100 list and Pat's 1981 hard rocking "Promises In The Dark" which almost made the original list, but I couldn't make it all about Pat and Debbie now could I??

And we wrap it up in our next visit to the 80's collection, but don't worry we have some new Bubbatunes album "remasters" coming up soon! Which means there's bound to be a trip back to the 80's in there somewhere.
