I've got the bug and as I did with the 70s version I'm updating these lists for the 60s, 80s, and 90s as well. As I wrote on that thread: I made an imaginary jukebox for a few decades that contain 50 "singles" of one artist, or two similar songs or artists; so 100 songs in total. They reflect a mix of my own taste and (American) biases, plus what an average cross-section of people might want to listen to if this was a real jukebox in a bar or something (only popular stuff I can't stand at all was ruled out). Here is the 80s edition.
