October 21 is considered a very special day… especially for fans of the DeLorean. Movie buffs across the land celebrate the day that Marty McFly and company travel forward in time to October 21, 2015- making the date the unofficial holiday of Back to the Future Day!

The trilogy first came on the scene in 1985, and the first sequel was released four years later. Luckily, where we’re going, we don’t need roads, so let’s celebrate the day by firing up the flux capacitor and creating a playlist of songs that were released 40 years ago.
