Join me as I create a themed musical playlist featuring songs by artists born in 1958 who helped shape the cultural shift that defined the 1980s!

Let's celebrate the artists who share the same birth year, consider how shared timing became cultural momentum, and cherish how a handful of voices, shaped by the same era, helped shape ours in return—as we make a mixtape!

Side A: Bad Reputation by Joan Jett, Kiss Me Deadly by Lita Ford, Off the Wall by Michael Jackson, Like a Virgin by Madonna, and Sign o' the Times by Prince

Side B: Sweet Love by Anita Baker, She Blinded Me with Science by Thomas Dolby, Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush, Two of Hearts by Stacey Q, and Heaven Is a Place on Earth by Belinda Carlisle
