We used to listen to this cassette so much as a kid. Of course it has Fast Car, which is one of the best driving songs.

This one doesn't have The Cat Came Back on it, but it does have the theme song to the TV show, which was a favorite of mine as a kid.

I didn't get into the Pixies until high school, but am glad I got around to them eventually.

I'm not even a big Randy Travis fan, but here I have him on the list for back-to-back years. Deeper Than the Holler did speak to me as a kid.

Best known for the song The Promise featured in the Napoleon Dynamite movie.

I was always impressed by Matilda's ability to take care of herself as a child. A true role model.

An underappreciated 80's fantasy movie from Lucasfilm that I was a big fan of as a teenager.

Is Die Hard the best Christmas movie? Probably not, but it's my favorite.

I remember watching this as a teenager and not really understanding it. I still don't really understand this movie, I should probably read the manga at some point.

Watch this movie. OBEY.

I haven't seen too many bummer movies from the 80's, but this one was particularly sad.

Tetris first received official releases on many platforms in 1988 before being ported to the Gameboy in 1989. It's still one of the greatest games of all time no matter how you're playing it.
