180 Songs That Turn 40 Years Old in 2024. Total nostalgia bomb — I was 10-11 years old in 1984 and listened to pop music (& watched MTV) constantly. (Also, 40 years ago in 1984 was 1944… 😳)

If you want to supersize your nostalgia, you could watch the more recent live performances of these songs by the original band members. You'd also realize just how much time has passed.
wow, just wow. so many of my favorite songs... from when I was 9-10. Does your hearing/taste in music develop around this age?
