I Can Be Your Long Lost Pal

Upon drinking my morning brew and listening to one of the most amazing Peter Gabriel songs of all time, I started compiling a playlist of summer feel-good music. Now...while listening to this most awesome of awesome playlists I thought - "dang." There are a lot of good songs on here from my beloved childhood  that just make me smile. So, I decided to make a top "feel-good songs" list of the 80's/early 90's Era.

Dun

Dun!

So here you have it. These are some of the songs that remind me of trying to walk in my mom's high heels, jamming with my dad in the basement and playing with my collection of Jem dolls and Polly Pockets. Maybe not the best songs ever, but that's arguable. I can't say that these songs meant much to me at the time other than the fact that I knew they were just...good.
