[@drums4b]

The crazy thing is the music here was just the tip of the iceberg. There was nothing listed here by the Cure, the Smiths, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, Cabaret Voltaire, etc. There was a lot more cutting edge music from the 80's then people know and I haven't even started.

[@005uz345]

Agree the list goes on and on... No U2, not Van Halen, and where are the rap/hip hop songs?

[@tom9188]

60s 70s 80s the 3 best decades for music, the 80s being the most innovative and diverse. It was a great time to enjoy the High School and College years. Time sure has passed quickly since then.

Class of '87'! Easy on that "Old" stuff Adam! The song, What a Feeling, was to the movie Flashdance, which was filmed right here in Pittsburgh!!

[@cocoqueen80]

Pittsburgh born in 1980, and this is one of my favorite songs and movies from that era! 🔥🔥🔥

[@darrinlindsey]

The 80s cannot ever be matched in the music it produced. That was just one song per month. Listening to a radio in the 80s was like a non-stop greatest hits album, from every artist. Back then they would tell us what time they would be playing some of the recent favorites.

[@AC-ni4gt]

I remember singing and listening with some of them. Though I'll have to admit: some of the modern covers STINK! It doesn't feel right or even sound right.

[@darrinlindsey]

@AC-ni4gt If they don't sound just like the original, they aren't covers. They're remakes.

[@mikelafata1680]

Great reaction. I went to high school and college in the 80’s. It was a great time to grow up and listen to the best music ever.

[@angelado3]

First you can sing very well so go for it. Second, you were not born for most of these songs but still know the, third, LOL, imagine how many of us born in the 50's and 60's, love these songs so much but also reminds us of how damn old we are, seems unreal ❤ Let's give the 70's a spin

[@michellebrock276]

I was born in 1981 and growing up with my cousins these songs was on the radio every time we got in the car or on MVT. 98 percent of these songs are on my play list. I love the 80s music!!!

[@starman6280]

I graduated in 1980. I had no idea what was ahead for me. Looking back on those days I realize now how lucky we were. The music was not only better, but you could actually afford to go to a concert without having to mortgage your firstborn to finance it. I saw Night Ranger open for Sammy Hagar at the DU Arena on 3/20/1983 tickets were $10 Def Leppard opened for Billy Squeir at McNichols arena on 4/12/1983 my ticket was $12.65 Bruce Sprngsteen on 11/11/1984 at McNichols Arena my ticket was $16.50 9/3/1985 Dire Straits at Redrocks, my ticket was $13.20. I could go on, but you get my point. It was a wild decade. and I am truly grateful that I lived in that time.

Not to mention, some songs are also used in commercials too, like Venus for example.

[@ALLarson-k1k]

I heard every one of these songs through a car radio in the 80s. My parents gave me access to a wide and wonderful variety of music, but not 80s pop. This was the soundtrack of driving in the car with friends- I still own some of these singles on 45s.

[@kristiec6845]

I graduated high school in 1985. I feel so blessed to have grown up in the 70's and 80's. I would go back to that time in a heartbeat. Don't get me wrong, I love technology, but that era was special.

[@Apollo_Blaze]

I would go back too.

[@mikeharcharik2975]

Graduated hs in 82. This brings back so many memories. So nostalgic. Thx for sharing!

[@revgurley]

I remember seeing a show called "In Search Of..." narrated by Leonard Nemoy (Spock) in the 1970s before the Titanic was found. Took humans over 70 years to find the big boat. And if you're ever interested in more Prince, I'm your buddy! Been a fan since 1980. He was the Mozart of our time, writing, playing every instrument, singing live (no lip syncing!), a guitar legend, one of the widest vocal ranges ever, and could dance like no other (yes, MJ was an incredible dancer, too).

[@cryptoran7777]

It's amazing how many of these songs have stood the time

[@IslaSkye123]

The 70s and 80s are my favorite decades in music.

[@scoobysnacks]

I was a teenager in the '80s. Graduated high school in '85. Yes, 70's and 80's were a amazing time to grow up in. It tells you something when these songs are over 40 years old and are still bangers. "Say You, Say Me,...Say some more pronouns." That's how we used to sing it. lol. Eternal Flame from April 1989 was my wedding song. It should have been called "3-Year Flame" though because that's how long the marriage lasted. But I got a beautiful daughter out of it who is 30 now and just gave me my first grandchild.

[@debborahjohnson]

I love your singing along

[@jag03ljg]

I lived a lifetime in the 80's, I graduated highschool in 85, and got married, had pur daughter in 86, became a widow in 89.

[@WuznMe]

Hands down the best decade of music! Radio stations would play everything, not just one genre. We had rock and disco that spilled over from the 70s and the 80s just gave us everything else, pop, punk, country, dance, rock, slow jamz that had meaning, rap, reggae, and there were even weird songs that had people asking questions and it would be answered with snippets of songs. So much musical influence for the next 4 decades! Best decade for music!

[@michaellarusch4317]

Adam...this is definitely the best music...from the late 70's thru to the early 90's. Don't apologize for singing along. I wouldn't be able to keep from singing....

[@michaelgcuk]

I'm an early 80s kid and I recall hearing many of these amazing songs, as I was growing up. This is my childhood :D

[@jstringfellow1961]

During the early 80s I worked for music promoters Concerts West. It was amazing! I think we did over 400 concerts all together and the ones that stick in my head the most weren't on the video. Journey, Kansas, Lover Boy, Van Halen, Brian Adams (he was on the video) and others who were shown. What a time!! I will say that the 70s music rock just as much if not more. Maybe that that memory lane sometime.

[@mikemc6654]

Adam, I grew up in the eighties, so may be biased, but it is the best decade of music. BTW..I am very impressed with how many of the songs you know. You show give yourself a pat on the back. Well done. -Mike, from Missouri

[@RevPeterTrabaris]

Great fun, Adam! I love it when you sing and bounce around dancing in your seat. Have a great day! Peace

[@tinahairston6383]

Not old, Adam....VINTAGE, like me, lol. I was born in 1970 so being a teen in the 80s was the best. The best decade of music hands down!! I rarely listen to anything other than 80s...definitely not what's on the radio today for sure. Don't worry, Adam. We're singing along too. If you're not singing along, I'm immediately suspicious of you, lol.

[@brenda-yv7ss]

I was a teenager in the 80s I miss it so much so glad you did this you sound great.

[@cdfdesantis699]

Ancient music fan here. To really get the feel for the evolution of modern music, it's good to start with the 1950's, with the birth of rock 'n' roll & the skyrocketing popularity of country & western. Musicians today sample songs from the '70's & '80's, while the musicians of the '70's & '80's covered songs from the '50's & '60's, even incorporating classical music into their work. Great music never goes away. Thanks for your reaction.

[@anonygent]

It wasn't until much later that I discovered how many 80s rock songs were covers of Motown songs of the 1960s.

[@cdfdesantis699]

@anonygent So true. In fact, some covers of earlier music become more popular than the originals. Thanks for your reply.

[@valhopeless856]

I was born in May of 1981. I started singing along with Queen at the beginning and never stopped. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[@kathyeells1148]

I saw Prince in Atlanta in 1983. 1999 Tour. Best ever!

[@RoseGma]

I graduated from high school in 1981 so I knew almost all of those songs and even saw several of those artists in concert like Elton John, Phil Collins and Bon Jovi! Those were great times!

[@wicked39]

My grandpa's vinyls he had like 75 percent of all these. Yes he had that Michael Jackson album with the white background 😊

[@jaysverrisson1536]

I was mostly listening to classical music in the '80s, but a lot of these tunes evidently seeped into my brain by osmosis, given how many I recognized. For me, however, the 15 or so years from 1960 to the mid '70s is THE unmatched era for popular music of all stripes--a vibrant time of tremendous variety, innovation, originality, and talent. Please do the '60s and '70s next, Adam!

[@Parker_Theemotherian]

Take's me back love it loved them all.

[@TDHSFV]

You’re right, the music of the 80s was so good. I was almost alive for this. Born February 1990.

[@tshort1975]

Most of my memories revolve around the skating rink and these songs. I think GenX are the luckiest kids to have grown up in the 70’s and 80’s. We grew up listening to all genres of music.

[@AC-ni4gt]

I'm tail-end of Gen X. I still love these songs. Because I absolutely long for these since music now feels flat. And some covers just don't feel or sou d right.

[@eloiseblackburn895]

[@DouglasMcCulley]

"Heaven is a Place on Earth' was the 2nd solo hit for Go Gos lead singer Belinda Carlisle- the Go Gos broke up in 1985. I didn't recognize a few of those songs from the early 80s- should have played 'Our Lips are Sealed' or 'Vacation' by the Go Gos

[@revgurley]

Another weird 80s thing: Ray Parker singing "Ghostbusters" was challenged in court by Huey Lewis & The News for stealing "I Want A New Drug." Listen to both back to back and you'll hear they're almost exactly the same.

[@anonygent]

I can't hear the resemblance, honestly. I understand they settled out of court.

There were a lot of song that didn't make #1 and we had rock, metal, and rap that didn't make this list. This list didn't have greats like Gloria Estefan, Robert Palmer, Poison, Motley Crue, Sugar Hill Gang and tons of others. My Spotify play list has nearly 600 song mostly from the 70's and 80's.
