You guys should do the 80s too. There's a ton of recognizable songs in the 80s.

[@jwb52z9]

I'm not sure they'd recognize 80s music.

[@throneborn]

​@@jwb52z9 alot of our music came from the UK during the 80s. I think they'd recognize as many as this one

Many 80's music are in movies and tv shows so you guys will recognize many of them.

Do 80s for sure!

"My sister is 31 and she wasn't even born yet" Ouch. As someone born in the mid 80s that hurts. I think I might have a single of save the world someplace. I listened to it constantly on a road trip family vacation one year - I want to say around 96.

Thanks for making me feel old! Also, thanks for giving me the music of my life. I went from middle school to college in the 90's. Every song except for a few I have a memory of it and how it makes me feel.

[@kelliefish6259]

Oh yeah, the 90's was a Great Era for Music. Fond memories 😊

[@themourningstar338]

Ouch! "Smooth" by Santana ft Rob Thomas is one of the best songs on this video. Carlos Santana is a rock legend and guitar god! Actually give the song a listen, I've never heard of anyone thinking it's anything other than 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TheSaltyAdmiral]

It's so funny seeing which songs you kiddos have heard of and not, it certainly isn't always what I would have expected. Like how you all just instantly recognised Rednex - Cotton Eye Joe, but had no idea about Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven! :D I'm 41, born in '82, so the 90's is really the decade I grew up in(don't really remember much of the 80's).

[@annabogart6689]

a number of those songs were remakes from the seventies.. that last song, smooth is an eEXCELLANT song. you should check it out. sang by santana (genuis) and rob thomas (who was in the group maroon 5}

[@matthewdrake4385]

Actually, Carlos Santana was the guitar player for his band ( think like a Van Halen situation) and Rob Thomas was from Matchbox 20, not Maroon 5. Matchbox was more mainstream rock, Maroon 5 started off as more r&b based pop, but has been more pop over the past decade or so.

[@annabogart6689]

Think the only maroon 5 album that had any decent songs was the debut, pretty much slipped since then. Santana is probably in my top ten favorite guitarists. Great band.

[@Zodia195]

I think I can forgive y'all for not being aware of 1997's version of Candle in the Wind. Elton's original version was an 80s song dedicated to Marelyn Monroe, the 90s version was dedicated to Princess Di because she died around that time and it was sung at her funeral. Since y'all weren't born yet, it's fine. But yeah it was rare back then to see footage from another country (outside of the Olympics and huge world wide sporting events), but this was one of them and her funeral aired in the US too. 90s were my teen years and in fact I graduated HS in 2000. So yeah I knew all of these songs lol. Fun fact- when One Sweet Day first aired on the radio, I actually said, "Song of the Decade there" not known just how much on the nose I was because it would hold the #1 spot for 16 weeks for 23 years. Is anyone besides me sadden that it took until 99 to see Cher (if you saw the 80s video). Like she's one of those few artists to have #1 hits in multiple decades.

[@CTBauer]

Six songs I didn't recognize...mostly Boys II Men. This is when my daughter was growing up and she looooooved listening to the radio. I played professionally when younger and quit just before I got married in 85, so I wasn't so in tune with the music scene after that. I still prefer the 1960's and 1970's over the 80's, 90's, and 2000's.

[@drewc981]

February 1993 No Limit by 2 Unlimited was the song my gym teacher played while all the students ran laps around the gym in every class for three years straight lol

[@secolerice]

It’s so funny that you say these are so old! For me, this is like yesterday! A lot of these songs are remakes from prior decades. I do love that some of my artists are still in the lists. Especially ending with Santana from the 60s! please do the 60s and 70s especially but all of them when you can get around to it.

[@Maria-go5fd]

They should react to a documentary about Woodstock!

[@mer8795]

Not many have been remade. I think they play on oldies and some 'everything ' radio stations. As you say, DJ parties and such.

[@itme420]

That was an amazing video, keep up the great work. I was signing along to almost every song.

[@925lexi]

The Michael Jackson song "Heal the World", was from the Free Willy movie soundtrack not for the earthquake that happened in Haiti. The song your are thinking about Is a remake of the 1985 song "We are the World" co-written by MJ and Lionel Richie in the USA for Africa charity. The song was remade by Wyclef Jean (who is Haitian) for the earthquake in Haiti in 2010

[@gregstickler1311]

1991 was the first year I bought an album, Michael Jackson's Dangerous. Then, in 1994, I bought my first single, Always by Bon Jovi which was featured in this video. Both were on cassette tape!

If they have it, you should try the 50s and 60s. You will recognize some from music played in movies and TV shows.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

I'm always suprised how many Brits don't know Candle in the Wind. While Elton John didn't create it, he played it in tribute to Princess Dianna. I can't recall if it was at her remembernce on BBC or not. Thats where i remember it from. He was devasted by her death. As many of us were. I think I was a teen when she died. To be fair I also realize many Brits don't care much fo the royals anymore. I never really did myself. I only cared about Princess Diana because of her humanitarian work and big heart.

[@PrayerfullyBlessedMama]

Y’all need to react to Eric Clapton, that song is powerful and the meaning behind it is tragic!

[@StarGazer9976]

I am just getting to this now, but how did you not know, "Candle in the Wind"? That was the tribute song that Elton John did for Princess Diana. Some of those others, you knew and good job for that.

You should watch the movie "Philadelphia" with Tom Hanks featuring the song of the same name.

[@jwb52z9]

I was a teenager in the early 90s and about 20 or 21 by the time you both were born, so I grew up with some of this music, but I like 50s to 80s music better most of the time. You talk about covers. Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You" is a redo of Dolly Parton's, who wrote it, original.

[@exitscreaming4637]

The 90's weren't the greatest decade for music but enjoyed your video , thanks !

[@MJCLAXDEN]

In the USA, Whitney Houston had 7 CONSECUTIVE #1 hits. That streak was broken with "Love Will Save the Day" in roughly June 1988. She had another 4 #1 hits, for a total of 11 #1 hits. She was the first and only artist to take the National Anthem (performed at Super Bowl XXV (1991) to the Billboard Top 40, peaking at #20. She was HUGE in the 80s and early 90s until she hooked with Bobby Brown and became a total crack head. Sad...she died from an overdose if memory serves.

[@terriehumphries6028]

I am a September baby. I did not recognize any of the songs. Lol

[@edwardmclaughlin719]

Wait your Brithish and never heard Candle in The Wind? Ever hear of Lady Di? Live "Candle in the Wind 1997" became the fastest-selling single in the UK, selling 658,000 copies on its first day of release and over 1.5 million in its first week. The song debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart the day after its release on 13 September 1997, staying at number one for five weeks and becoming the best-selling song in the UK, overtaking the 13-year-old record held by Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?" It has been certified as the best-selling single of all time in the UK and has sold 4.94 million copies in the UK as of September 2017.

Somehow, I think Mariah might have topped this with her terrible Christmas song.

A guy I know once made a bet that he could sell out a concert playing the last song, “Smooth” by Santana and Rob Thomas 10 times in a row and he absolutely did it. It was the most unhinged concert I’ve ever been to. A couple years later they did it again but played it 20 times in a row instead. Even more unhinged. Lol

Lived in New Orleans region from 1997-2000, absolutely loved it. The people, the food, the art & architecture, the outdoors, the libraries...so many things to do. It's also incredibly hot & muggy a good part of the year. The roads are in terrible condition. No joke, you could always tell the second you crossed into Louisiana from Mississippi by the freaking potholes...also by the trash on the hiways. There is a serious lack of good jobs which leads to really poor health. The corruption among elected officials and police is startling. The schools can be quite bad. The racism is real. It's also where if you're brave enough that you can learn who you are. Loved every minute of my time there

I need to put this out there. Many "hits" are due to radio or video exposer. Since the internet and many pirate sights and peer-to-peer file sharing applications popping up, the "sales" of many genres of music where severely under recorded. This is especially dramatic in album rock and heavy metal. Since this genre was mostly targeted to a male audience and the guys were more readily attracted to the new technology most music was stolen in these years.
