Andromeda DavisSo many of you loved our 90s Mixtape post that we just had to keep the party going with a rad 80s playlist based on your Zodiac sign.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Aries, I’ve got two words for you: Hair Metal. We’re talking White Snake, Poison, and Def Leppard. If that doesn’t get you amped up, nothing will.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
We’ve found what you’re looking for, Taurus: It’s U2! One of the most enduring rock bands of the century, U2 is the perfect 80s soundtrack for you.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Gemini, your 80s playlist is like, 80% Talking Heads. You love the witty, oddball lyrics. The other 20% is R.E.M. and the B-52s!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Can you say Madonna? Your 80s playlist is all about the greatest pop music in history. We’re talking prime era Madonna with a little Wham! thrown in for variety.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Don’t stop believin’, Leo. That’s right, Journey is your #1 artist of the 1980s. You can’t tell me that you haven’t belted out one of their songs at least once during karaoke!
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
There’s one artist from the 80s that you love above all others, Virgo, and that’s Prince. Not only is his music some of the best ever recorded, but his relentless work ethic and mastery of multiple instruments appeal to you.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
Libra, the 80s were all about the New Wave for you. Depeche Mode, The Cars, maybe a little Blondie. You love those sweet, sweet synths.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Old-school metal from Van Halen, Metallica and–heck yeah!–Slayer still rocks as hard today as it did four decades ago. Go even harder with Motörhead (RIP Lemmy).
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
You gotta fight for your right… to rock out to the Beastie Boys! “Licensed to Ill” dropped in 1986 and became an instant classic.
Capricorn (December 23-January 20)
There’s nothing wrong with some good ol’ American rock music. You’re not ashamed to love Bruce Springsteen (and, to a lesser extent, John Cougar Mellencamp).
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Even more than the music, you love the message of the early rap stars like Run-DMC, Public Enemy, and even N.W.A. The bold, passionate lyrics and driving rhythms make for perfect workout music today.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
The moody, dreamy and oh-so-British tunes of The Smiths and The Cure should be on heavy rotation for your 80s playlist. Bonus points if you throw in a few tracks by Kate Bush.
