I get why people like "Sweet Freedom" but I never go out of my way for it and don't particularly care for it when it comes on. It makes me chuckle sometimes though because it's played at the start of every episode of Yacht Rock...

A lot of nostalgia tracks. It was a good relatively care-free era for me, so a lot of so-so songs take me back to the day.

Summer of '86 is where the charts take a massive dive in quality, and don't recover until summer or fall of '88 (the crap is still aplently, but the amount of good stuff increases)

You ain't kidding! So much crap.
