Description

This week we begin a two-part introspective on the new-wave music that formed the soundtrack for John Hughes films in the 80s. If you’re a child of the 80s, you probably grew up loving these films—and their soundtracks! In Part One, we explore Hughes films from 1980-1986, beginning with “National Lampoon’s Vacation” and ending with “Pretty in Pink.” You couldn’t ignore these songs if you tried.
