There are several reasons why Netflix hit Stranger Things makes people so nostalgic for the 1980s, from the fashion and the retro tech to the glorious absence of social media – but arguably the most powerful element is the music.
Series creators The Duffer Brothers and their team have picked out some brilliant tunes for the show in previous seasons, with these latest episodes continuing the trend.
Already we’re seeing the likes of Kate Bush, Kiss and Talking Heads generate discussion across social media, with some viewers discovering these iconic acts for the very first time through the show.
