Best 80s Anthems To Sing Along To On A Road Trip
It was the decade of extreme. Hair, make up, fashion and attitude. A new wave of punk rock, funk (evolved from 70’s disco) and preppy rebellion. It was loud. Infectious. It had something to say. 40 years ago, these anthems reigned supreme, with the sounds of pop’s golden era blasting through your Walkman, boombox or car stereo. Keeping the decade alive, we continue to revel in rocking out to these 80s anthems.
What better time to reach your full Rockstar potential then when en route on your next road trip. Strap in for hours of 80s anthem glory, with Radio Ovolo pumping out the 80s anthems of our dreams. Personally, and carefully curated by Ovolo’s Founder and CEO Girish Jhunjhnuwala, Radio Ovolo guarantees the perfect soundtrack to match your mischief at Ovolo.
