Happy Thursday, friends! Only one more day until Friday, hang in there! The hashtag #throwbackthursday (or #tbt) has been a hit with lots of people both young and old. To relish the famous hashtag, I’ve created a playlist with my favorite songs from the 70’s to the early 00’s (a lot coming from the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack because that movie is amazing).
1. Don’t You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds
This song was made popular from the hit movie, The Breakfast Club. Even though I wasn’t born the time of the release of the movie or the song, the song gives me a wave of nostalgia. I’m not quite sure what it is that makes me love this song so much but it has surely and rightfully made its way to be my number one.
2. I Think I’m In Love by Eddie Money
This song gives me good vibes. It’s from the early 2000s and I love every bit of it. This one may not seem like a huge throwback but it’s definitely one of my favorites. The music sounds old and retro and I love every second of it. It’s also a cute love song that you can play when you find out that maybe you really are starting to like that special somebody.
3. Bicycle Race by Queen
This fun song regards a number of pop culture occurrences during that time and was inspired by the Tour de France. Its strange musical number is different, all the while making the song equally as wonderful.
4. Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) by Eurhythmics
 I feel like songs like this one are coming back into style. The funky techno is distinctly 80’s and the video is something I wouldn’t recommend passing up. There’s not a single thing about this song that I can complain about.
5. ABC by Jackson 5
This upbeat song can get anyone grooving. There are so many renditions and dances to this song it never ceases to amaze me. Not to mention who doesn’t love a pint-sized MJ?
6.  Escape (The Pina Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes
This song is so famous it found a way into the movie Guardians of the Galaxy (a must watch of course). Known for the chorus, this song is laid back and relaxed. Easy for anyone of any age to enjoy.
7. Come and Get Your Love by Redbone
Again, coming from Guardians of the Galaxy, this song is upbeat and it’s easy to sing along to. The beat is catchy and fun to listen to.
8. All The Small Things by Blink-182
This song is a classic love song, one of their most famous songs too. The instruments and the singing makes my heart content. This song and the next one aren’t too far of a throwback but they’re equally as amazing as the oldies.
9. Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day
This song isn’t as happy and peppy as the other songs on this list. This one centers around being alone but being okay with it. In its own way, I find it equally as uplifting as the others on this list.
10. Ain’t No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
This song has been played in so many movies, TV shows, and even commercials it’d be hard not to recognize this song. It’s an uplifting song and it’s the best song I thought to use to wrap up this blog.
If you liked some of these suggestions, I’d suggest you check out the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack.
