I know it's still January but I wonder how many songs from 2026 will still be remembered fondly in 2066.

It's insane.It seems like yesterday I was a college sophomore listening to those songs. Approaching 60 hits different. I still get a kick out of the Billy Ocean video with Danny DeVito singing background. Lol

HA, what a great memory. Danny DeVito, Michael Douglas, and Kathleen Turner. Ocean had such great 80s songs, ballads and pop hits all around.

And yeah, I graduated high school in 1986, so that's some big ass throwbacks.

Romancing The Stone is a brilliant movie. I kind of have a soft spot for Jewel Of The Nile as well but Romancing The Stone is an undisputed classic.
