I really want to choose songs from those touchstone 80s alt rock classic albums but it feels a little disingenuous because I really wasn't listening to them then so a lot of the times they don't feel like the 80's to me. They kind of exist outside of a definite time period. Not 80's but not 90's either.

There are songs I want to pick that I enjoy on different levels. Some I watched on MTV as a 4th grader, others I discovered much, much later when digging into influences of bands that would come later. Someone enjoyed those bands back in the 1980's...could have been me if circumstances had been different.

My plan is to pick songs, like you said, that I "loved and listened to then". To me, seems like the best way to go
