1980 Deep Dive: Songs Playlist

      During the 1980 deep dive, I kept a "tight" list of the best songs and it currently stands at 64. As I sit here trying to cut it down or rank it I realize it's not possible. I briefly considered making a 64 song March Madness bracket, but that's too much work. So, my lazy solution is to just list them all as a Sound Mind 1980 Playlist. Most of these tracks were discussed during the dive, but several are from albums that didn't make the cut. If Spotify wasn't The Devil, I would make an actual playlist, but they are, so I won't. Peace.
