From the beginning, fans have loved the nostalgic effect of the 80s setting in Stranger Things. Of course, part of what made the 80s so unique, loud, theatrical, and utterly entertaining, was its music.

In the past few years, several shows and movies, like Ryan Murphy’s AHS 1984, have incorporated an 80s setting to either explore one of the wild stories of the time or to appeal to the nostalgic feelings of the audience. One thing that all of these shows and films have in common is that their storylines all incorporated recognizable music from the decade to help take viewers back to that time.
