[@jeromecabral7464]

I miss the 80s so much

[@frantomo]

Personally - my most significat year in discovering music - thanx for the trip back in time.

[@Gravyballs2011]

My 3rd favorite decade for music.

[@johnthomas5089]

What's your 1st and 2nd?

[@Gravyballs2011]

Hi John: 2nd place would go to the 1950 because that was the start of "youth music". New areas were explored.As an example, Gospel became R&B and branched off into soul. For the first time in history it was realize that teenagers with their small allowances from babysitting or mowing lawns had real purchasing power and could (and did) affect the GNP. Now they were being marketed to. Government leaders were concerned that the hysteria caused by a man shaking his hips on stage while singing & playing a guitar might cause panic in the streets, turn your child into a social malcontent or riots would form to overturn the local and state governments. "Louie Louie" was deemed to be an offensive album. For the first time words of a song were under close scrutiny. I've often wondered that if World War 2 had a different outcome and that the Allies lost, all popular forms of music that was made in the 1950s would've been destroyed along with their creators. This era also gave rise to the electric guitar as a centerpiece instrument and not just for strumming in the corner. The previous two decades the piano was the instrument to have. Modern electric guitar really began to hit it's stride in the 1950s. The formation of what we tend to think of as a rock band set up: drums, guitar, bass, singer came from the 1950s. My favorite decade is 1970s. 1. Prog, Funk, Fusion, Punk, Soul, Heavy Metal, Hard Rock.Experimental 2.This is the decade I play the most. Many great historic concerts. 3. 1970-1973 is the sweet spot for me. Not only for the music and bands and forms of music that were around then but also for those which hadn't formed yet.Disco for instance.

[@johnthomas5089]

Phillip S Hi Philip, thanks for taking the time to write your thoughts in great detail; much appreciated. Love the 50s, as I believe this is the foundation that formed so much of the good music through each decade since. Great R&R, R&B, blues, gospel, and even the doo wop. Loved the 70s. For the most part, enjoyed music through the 90s. Appreciate your kind answer.

[@BetterSkatez3]

+Phillip S My Favorites are both 70's and 80's. Especially Late 70's and Early 80's.

[@anjanarajagopal3143]

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING PROMISED YOU A MIRACLE ON HERE. THAT IS SUCH AN UNDERRATED SONG.

[@RobsterRulzDude0518]

Little Red Corvette,The Voice,In You're Wildest Dreams,Walking in L.A,Life is just a Fantasy..Great songs from 1982.

[@chestnut9987]

Some real beauties in that list - what a year! Thanks.

[@sjbill]

Mad World by Tears For Fears.....Perfectly describes life today!!! (Sadly)

[@molinalong3468]

Rest in peace in 1982 Grace Kelly - actress and Princess Jack Webb - actor played by Joe Friday Henry Fonda - actor Marty Robbins - singer

[@conniebauer4128]

wow what a list! So many artists that were or would go on to become music legends.

[@Gaminggunzeller]

Wish I was born in the 80s but I was born in the 90s.

[@Lozza144]

The 80s were the best era for music

[@jeromecabral7464]

The 80s were so awesome as a kid no cellphones or multimedia fun times

[@okeekonokee5282]

Altho' I was too young to fully appreciate it ... I think the '70s was the best, early '80s - 2nd best. Downhill since then

[@melaniewells3381]

Steppin out is easily the best

[@7beers]

Another fantastic job.

[@alfonsogreen2722]

these songs brings back memories from a little boy

[@iMusicRepublic]

Video is back after being removed for over a month due to copyright reasons. Enjoy it guys! (Also sorry once again for putting Every Breath You Take & putting Mickey twice.)

[@DJDanceClassic]

where is HARDEN MY HEART (quarter flash) but I do like that you put 3 awesome songs by Fleetwood Mac/Lindsey Buckingham , Tears For Fears, Simple Minds and ABC there!

[@markconnors7310]

I like how Trouble segued into Truly. Nice transition!!!

[@velvethead79]

Thanks for putting "Wanderlust" in there. One of the greatest songs ever

[@LLOOYYYDD]

Really? You think like ever?? Really all time ever?? Really? ok then... o_0

[@dmitry__-__3657]

And I ran, i ran so far away

[@solinvictus39]

Pretty sure "she's a beauty" came out in '83.

[@DaveWollenberg]

To your list, I would've added 'Early in the mornin'' and 'You dropped a bomb on me', by the Gap Band.

[@502Imcomingthrough]

So awesome to see Iron Maiden & Rush getting a mention \m/

[@justinkinkade2063]

Police -Synchronicity wasn't released until June 1983. 'Every Breath You Take' shouldn't be in this list.

[@avocatrobbins2189]

Yes, several of the songs on here, though they were good- and hits- were from other years. And why was "Mickey" listed twice?

[@pjangels609]

You are right, but this is a small mistake he can correct easily. Making these lists is a big undertaking; he probably did it at 4am in the morning...

[@calvincoolidge9858]

People just like to make up crap.

[@MickeyCool30]

Whole range of fantastic tunes many very underrated. I think anyone would say the best decade is the one they grew up in. I personally like music from all decades and all styles good and bad in all decades, dont think its when a style began, there is more originality especially pre 2000 certainly. I do feel the best music means something whether its love, political whatever, i feel live by Donna Summer to me starts something different to me a more modern electronic feel, but in terms of sound little changed across at least 4 decades. I always think the last year of each decade produces the best music, a new start maybe? Early hip hop was better than later etc Disco got better as it went on. 1982 could be in a number of years and eras for me. Captain and Tennille Love will keep us together could be early 80s not 1975 etc.

[@kellyrrice]

"Mickey" by Toni Basil is on there twice.

[@krissykazele]

kellyrrice i was wondering if someone else noticed,lol.....well, commented anyway.

[@Gaminggunzeller]

I noticed it.

[@klct2006]

I was 11.

[@jamosh1967]

I was 15 years old in 1982.

[@MickeyCool30]

I can tell 50s and 60s songs, they have much more harmonies, simplicity in arrangement etc possibly??? they stand out vs 70s and 80s which are much more hard hitting more like surround sound??? i can even tell original sounds and later covers

[@raulcollao2990]

Abba the best

[@rbomfim7]

Muito bom gosto,adorei a coincidência dos gostos.

[@Nandi68]

Generally it's a good mixture of top songs/hits of the era, maybe a bit too much obsessed with April Wine, Air Supply, Journey or so :) but it's OK :)

[@merlldelagonz8955]

nice

[@ferkara8223]

Paul McCartney’s Tug of War!

[@davidsiegfriedklinger2422]

Why did we have to listen to almost every song on the Tug of war album?

[@johntorresaraujo3378]

Great Songs Of 1982 But The Police Every Break Is The Song Of 1983

[@buskov]

Great mix 6:00 et 9:35 Hey Mickey :)

[@JULSmodelo66]

demasiados corto los temas, pero me gustan.

[@rareperson7186]

i almost feel anguish when hearing this music, music that was playing when i was 14 yrs old (that i havent heard since then :). why do i feel that? i feel scared when hearing them :). and no, I'm not mentally i'll :). but several i had not heard before.

[@idanisokay]

Rare Person... how are u today? I'm feeling the same... just to let u know... me cry without tears

[@Gmackematix]

From Abracadabra to...hey, where's Zoom by the Fat Larry Band? I'm sure you know it's Mickey, not Hey Mickey, so only one appearance is needed. Some reasonable songs missing from your house of fun include Golden Brown, Just An Illusion, A Little Peace, Seven Tears and Love Plus One. Every Breath You Take was definitely 1983 (got to love the B-side Murder by Numbers). I'll still be complaining when I'm old and wise but for now, I'll say hello and wave goodbye.

[@krytylin]

nice list but quite a few duplicates in 83's

[@mentalrebel]

Toni Basil - Mickey appears 2 times

[@rjjcms1]

How about putting Golden Brown in place of one of them?

[@31lafouine]

Telegraph Road ???

[@rjjcms1]

+ Private Investigations and Industrial Disease! Good shout!

[@shaneb.2464]

You feeling hot and bothered in bed - 8:12 Your girlfriend - 8:16

[@calvincoolidge9858]

This list is bs. None of this was accurate at all. Why would someone spend hours making a fake ass list.

[@domet80]

Justin Bieber should be No 1

[@BetterSkatez3]

+matteo io Yes, He was the first singer ever in the world in 90 Quintillion BC
