Author's Comments

150 of mostly alternative songs that I loved to listened to then and even now. Making this playlist I realized a lot of these songs have been used in many movies over the years. Most songs you'll probably know and some you won't, but if you like 80's you'll like this mix. I hope you'll enjoy this playlist of one hit wonders, punk, goth, new wave, alternative, & pop.
