Description:
Just a little thought experiment. What if the world of Equestria Girls was set in the 1980s? Who would the members of the Rainbooms have been listening to? This is by no means a complete and exhaustive list. I just surrounded each Rainboom with eight albums that would be representative of the kind of music I felt they would have been influenced by. If you don’t recognize the album covers, I’ve listed them below. I’d love to hear your thoughts on them, and who you think they might have listened to.
