If you love listening to music and the ’80s is your vibe, here are 18 ’80s playlist from Amazon Prime Music that will keep you singing all day. Music in the ’80 saw the change from disco to something with more edge—definitely a lot more noise.
The ’80 brought us hair bands, synthesizers, alternative, soft rock, rock ballads, and some amazing one-hit wonders.
It takes a little patience to look through Amazon Prime Music. But you will find some amazing playlists to keep your Echo playing all day.
My favorite tip for playing music on an Echo is to ask Alexia to “play the top songs by _______” or “play the top ’80s rock ballads.”
She will either start playing what you requested or will say she found a playlist you may like.
If you are playing music to fall asleep to and want her to stop playing at a particular time, ask – ” Alexia, set a sleep timer for ______ minutes.”
