Shownotes

This week we open a special holiday event as we begin counting down the Top 50 Christmas songs of the 80s and 90s. The season always carried its own soundtrack, and the 80s side of the list brought everything from alternative sparkle to soul, soft rock, and the kind of warm winter melodies that lived on family stereos long after the lights came down. This episode covers numbers fifty through twenty-six, capturing the glow, the chaos, and the comfort of a Gen X December.

The holidays looked different back then, but the feeling remains the same. Step into the first half of the countdown and let the memories settle in.
