"This period in American pop music was very special," says series creator TJ Lubinsky. "It was a time of innocence, angst, puppy love, heartbreak and, most of all, great memories of carefree youth-- like the feeling of those wonderful summers in our teens-- wherever we were hearing these songs on the radio."
