Your video brings back memories. Being half German (my Dad was in the USArmy) I would frequently visit Oma, my aunts, uncles, and cousins during the summers when I was in college . During the summer of 1980 I stayed with my cousin Sigmund at his apartment in Berlin. I brought several of my favorite albums with me which included the just released Peter Gabriel 3, Marianne Faithfull’s Broken English, Lou Reed’s Berlin, and Bowie’s Heroes. I remember one night at some punk rock disco on the K’dam, totally inebriated, and about two o’clock in the morning they played Faithfull’s Broken English followed by Bowie’s Helden. It was perfect. When I was returning home to Texas, Sigi gifted me the first two Nina Hagen albums, the Cha-Cha soundtrack (with Hagen’s Knocking On Herman’ s Door) and the first two Kate Bush albums. Sigi always made sure I had good music to listen to. And back in Houston I found the Peter Gabriel 3 Deutsches Album and probably haven’t listened to the English version much since. My top 20 songs would have to include Bowie’s Helden, Gabriel’s Biko (German version), Bush’s The Man With the Child in His Eyes, Hagen’s Naturtraene, and Faithfull’s Broken English.

Great list Michael! I always though Nowhere Girl was underrated, so glad to see it so high on your list! I think Love Will Tear Us Apart may also be in my top 3!

[@clivesnowden4348]

Well done on being able to choose just 20 favourites. Some surprising but good choices. Totally agree about the Soft Cell 12". Nice one!

[@edmundot]

Great selection! Cocteau Twins, Echo and The Bunnymen and DAF have a special place in my collection too. Greetings from Chile!

[@rickyels2633]

Great channel you have. My 73 Yr old neighbour recently showed me Tim buckleys album called greetings from L.A. incredible music from the early 70s

[@tadgehouse1]

Totally agree with Soft Cell. What a track. Still great live too.

[@matts9064]

Great list! Living in Canada, I’m not familiar with all of your favourites, but I know many. What a great and fun opportunity for me to listen to the songs on your list I have never heard! Thanks for expanding my musical knowledge.

[@sararibeiro4034]

THanks Michel! I love Your videos. ❤️

[@joinedbinger2315]

Nowhere Girl is Diamond - thank you

[@hersheychase4704]

Thanks for sharing! My highlight of the week is your vids!

[@markusschulzbro]

Fade to grey! Never gets old!

[@dank.6942]

So many great songs, and Hurricane by Dylan is what I call a perfect 10. (Like A Rolling Stone too) Music, lyrics, sonics, production, and that Dylan magical storytelling. All aspects cannot be improved. (to me) Great vid!

[@musicfan8253]

More than anything, glad to see you here. The pictures of the flooding are so devastating. Hoping you and yours stay safe. Now, for the list…..thanks for sharing. What a challenge that would be for me, but, I might give it a go. Stay safe!

[@Michael45RPM]

All good here thx for caring

[@ashrobinson4604]

Fascinating list! Nobody should disagree-it is your personal list. I will check out those few songs I don’t know yet. Thanks!

[@thesurfacespins]

Thanks for sharing your favorite songs of all time... It's like I was asleep during the 80's. I missed out on so many of those songs and artists. But the nice thing is they are all out there waiting for me to find them. I've always loved Bowie and Dylan's Highway 61 is in my top five favorite albums. Cheers!

[@JBLClassic]

Great stuff, thanks for sharing. Any favorite list ending with JD is perfect.

[@snapcracklenpop821]

Great list. Bela Lugosi's Dead is absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Nice to see you have some real vinyl with soul and not just all that audiophile stuff 😉

[@rodrigollanes7619]

Great video Michael. Highway 65 is one of my all-time favorite albums and I have several pressings, including the MoFi double 45 rpm. I think the DCC CD mastered by Steve Hoffman is the best I have listened to the album. Gorgeous, highly recommended!

[@jasonelkins6582]

Wow what a list. A lot I never heard of as I grew up in the late 70s early 80s and remember mainly rock hits that came out as I am huge classic rock fan. Bob Dylan Like A Rolling Stone is up there in my list. I like these videos so I am now on Spotify listening to some of your favorite tunes. My top 3 are all rock: 3. My Sweet Lord, 2: Layla, 1. Stairway To Heaven.

[@bennyjoyson8384]

After seeing your incredible record collection I was expecting a much more expansive list. The Who & Dylan can consider themselves extremely fortunate to have made that list. 🤭😄

[@terrywho22]

Great list! Knowing your album tastes, I wonder how many genres you would have included by extending your list to 50 songs. Also you mention something very interesting to consider in how much our individual lists would change depending on when and where we were born (and the period in our lives we are in.) Maybe favorite 20 jazz songs next?

[@memyselfmyvinyl894]

Very personal list. Thank you for showing your favorite songs. I love all your videos but this is probably one of my favorite videos. It must have been so hard to narrow it down to 20 songs.

[@Gary-fk9pu]

Great video, I really enjoyed your selection. I have never sat down and made a top twenty list, but you have inspired me to do it.

[@user-uj5ig6tl4p]

thank you so much for yours videos, allways watch it with a big interest! thnx a lot!

[@lucullus6127]

Hut ab ! Joy Division :-)) but do not forget also the song ATMOSPHERE ! R.I.P Ian Curtis

[@matzeflamingos]

Great list- I grew up also in the 80s but I guess I’m two or three years younger than you and therefore is my list quite a little different. Thx for this great video.

[@davidlawrence79]

Great video! Thoroughly enjoyed the countdown.

[@xvariabledesign]

Great song list! The reason I got back into vinyl was to get my old collection of favorite tapes and albums back... and there are a lot of bands in my collection on your list . Nowhere girl is definitely one of my faves...and was a nice surprise to see on your list too.

[@kjbiz]

Some great tracks and a lot I grew up with as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@terrykemp8131]

Some great songs Michael. I grew up in the 80s too. Many bands, especially from the UK were influenced by the Germanic synth music, prevalent in Europe. OMD, Echo and the Bunny men and of course the fantastic Joy Division. Another one I loved was Ultravox Vienna. The whole album I consider one of the best late 70s/80s albums. Totally influenced by Euro synth dance music.

[@kickamatus]

thank you for sharing your top 20songs , i really enjoy watching your videos ,please allow me make one minor comment , i think your camera face detection need to bit more precise setting .

[@jasonarsenault3791]

I can’t imagine trying to narrow it down to 20. Well done!

[@martingrindley2933]

Some great 80s tracks there, I have many of those 12 inch records you listed that have not been played in a long while so you have inspired me to dig them out and spin them, nice to see the B movie record and cocteau twins is a beautiful track

[@josemorenorahn]

Desire is my favorite Dylan record, a very different release. The songs are great, the instrumentation is amazing. The Whole of the Moon is a brilliant song, one of the only songs I can keep listening to and don't get bored by it. Great to see DAF there!

[@paulspanbauer4125]

My all time favorite song is Wings by The Fall. Hilarious time travel narrative, driving guitars, points of collapse. And it ushered in the great pop period of the Fall, with Brix Smith.

[@s.k.3891]

Oh s**t , I thought I was the only one that loved this song. I saw M.E.Smith at a signing in NY, and asked him if there are references to Gabriel G.Marquez's story "a very old man with enormous wings" in the song (sleep in kitchens,hide away from nosy kids,wings rot under me etc.), he said no, its just a fantasy piece. And then we spent a few minutes talking about Marquez.

[@Michael45RPM]

The Fall is Fantastic !!!!!!!!

[@cobaltseatreasure]

my respect Michael!!! awaited so

[@meaulnes6643]

What a great list! Very happy to see some Cocteau Twins and DAF on there!

[@jasonhoffer9017]

I feel like I got to know you a little more with this video and the age you grew up in. I am a little younger than you but remember fondly of those times and that music. I don't know what made early 80s music so unique and interesting but I love your list and choices. Thanks for taking the time to do these.

[@davidchan8108]

Soooo happy to see your #3 pick!! Thank you!!

[@mikegoppert4177]

All are fantastic songs and some of my favorites too. My wife introduced me to the Cocteau Twins and Bauhaus back in college. I have that B Movie 12'', great song. One of my wife's and I favorites from the dance club days was When In Rome, The Promise. It should have been our wedding song. Listening to it now with your voice-over from this video. What a fantastic song!!!! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Thanks for letting us in.

[@VagueRANT100]

This was so enjoyable Michael....I am 70 years old now and have about 75% of your favourite songs.....my fave maxi single is GHOST TOWN by The Specials....your number one does not surprise me as my friend James is approx your age and it is his fave also....Great Video,Danke!

[@mercuryscat2703]

I have a maxi single of Ghost town , man that’s sounds fantastic!

[@VagueRANT100]

@@mercuryscat2703 Wow!...you are lucky...I sold my copy along with others back in the nineties......I could kick myself......once one has heard the extended mix on that huge glorious Maxi45 there can be no substitutes.

[@richardhedges1109]

Yes , torch by Soft Cell was amazing! My favourite 80’s track from my teens was Japan - Swing, from the album gentlemen take Polaroids, thanks for your great insight again. Regards Richard

[@user-kr6tb3ut9w]

Ityall depends on my mood. At these moments - I go for 1. Ok computer by Radiohead 2. Stargazer by rainbow 3. Piano man by Billy Joel 4. The man who sold the world by David Bowie Cheers

[@imthedead]

the group Worm Is Green . did one of the best "love will tear us apart" cover if you want to look on youtube :) Good list :)

[@airwatersun]

What an excellent selection...it is uncanny how many of your choices would be common to my own for the era. It is also interesting to note how good sounding so many of these 12" presses were!

[@Harrispilton22]

Michael, what a great video. ‘Break It Up For Me’ on Horses (even got Patti Smith’s autograph!) De Mussolini got some traction in the UK thanks to John Peel. I’ve got the first press of Bela Lugosi which is audiophile heaven.ABC is killer..but it’s ‘All Of My Heart’ I go back to.Suprise Soft Cell pick!..but it’s great. I thought Blue !Monday was going to be your number 1 pick..so I was in the right ballpark!

[@Universityofvinyl]

Cocteau Twins, Dylan, Joy Division, Bowie…….really enjoyed this

[@analoguecity3454]

Theres so many, hard for me to narrow 'em down!

[@joelsercarz6650]

These videos are absolutely awesome, I love them! Thanks also for the beautiful way that you say Kraftwerk....

[@michelelamberti1327]

Die 80er waren eine unfassbare Zeit für Musik.

[@robwalkerletthemusicplay]

Hi Micheal apart from a couple of German songs that I didn’t know this was a great list. Fade to grey , the cutter the torch amazing ! .. Argentina fans singing bad moon rising ! You can’t beat 15,000 football fans in total harmony !⚽️😃. I Loved your list … and a Manchester band as your number 1 .. perfection 👍

[@bcccl569]

nice picks michael, great to see your music origins. daf and liaisons are extremely underrated and influenced a ton of late 80s scenes (acid house, ebm, new beat, etc.).

[@brandnewstart]

Great list Michael, some new ones for me to check out. I’ll share just 3.......Siouxsie and the Banshees Hong Kong Garden, Bowie’s Life on Mars and #1 is a Paul Weller song. Yep Brand New Start. 😉

[@lowbudgetvinylchannel4840]

Some great albums, thanks for sharing. I'm pretty sure Bob Ludwig did the mastering on that Patti Smith.

[@ChrisLee-dz3uc]

We all have reasons for the songs we love and it usually has to do with how they touch us. Mine tend to evolve as a child of the '80's as well. It was actually playing this game with friends growing up that introduced me to new music!

[@narnalentraffarsparet9482]

You surprised me, thought ”blue monday” were gonna make your list ;) My fave right now is Papa was a rollin` stone by the Temptation ❤️ from🇸🇪

[@tacoseven1896]

I thought the same thing! But if you have to pick between Love Will Tear Us Apart and Blue Monday, he chose right. Both would probably make my personal top 20, however!

[@duringthemeanwhilst]

I really enjoyed your list Michael. I did a similar exercise a while back, but the trouble is after a week or so over 50% I've changed my mind and something else goes in there!!

Severe flooding in Germany. We hope you and your family are fine and in a safe place. Take care and be safe.

[@Michael45RPM]

Thx a lot Augustin

[@jeffreywoodke]

Fiona Apple recently did a magnificent cover of “Whole of the Moon”. It’s really worth checking out. So powerful!

[@mattuk7612]

I guess we grew up at a similar time in the same region of Germany. Thanks for reminding me of Nowhere Girl. Visiting all the clubs (or rather Discos) playing Indie music up to Gothic/EBM - don‘t know if you were into that kind of music as well. One song I really like from that time is No Tears from Tuxedomoon (although it can strain your ears ;-)

[@jazzmetalaudiophile]

On that note I’d love to see more audiophile high quality maxi singles, but with the current workload of the pressing plants something we probably won’t see in the near future

[@cwilko11]

Love the cutter and the whole of the moon, the Dylan, Bowie, who and ccr selections are slam dunks. I’m a touch older than you Michael, but I would have a couple of 90’s selections in my list and Probably replace some of the German tracks with some Aussie tracks, as we obviously are products of our local environment. Throw your arms around me by hunter’s and collectors (check it out if you have never heard it) and buy me a pony by spider bait (90 seconds that you cannot sit still). Throw in this perfect day by the saints and the day I tried to live by sound garden and the rest we are pretty close. Thanks for sharing.

[@jonlevinson3000]

I loved this video - so much fun. Was laughing outloud at the overlap with my own experience - so very many of these could/should be on my own list. And you continue to spend my money! Realized I don't presently own the 1st Visage album on Vinyl (all the others, yes - too many 12-inch singles too.) Just ordered a copy on Discogs, thank you. I hae to say none of my musical mentors back in the day were Dylan fans, so aside from his popular / well know songs or covers I've no real appreciation for his catalog. That said, I love the Bryan Ferry cover of 'Don't Think Twice, It's All Right'. Will make an effort to stream your recommendations. Same for Joni Mitchell, had a friend who was a huge fan, but we never listened to her back in the day as it was all Mute and 4AD and Factory records back then. Need to perform my due diligence there too. Recommend this recent article in the NYT: www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/06/20/arts/music/joni-mitchell-blue.html Lastly, sat down to write my list of top 20 favorites and made it to sixty before stopping HAHA Realized I don't have favorites - the list is always going to change/evolve - so what I've done is trim it down to 20 favorites that influenced me, i.e., set me up for further listening/exploration from childhood, adolescence, young adulthood to all-growed-up: David Bowie - Changes Harry Nilsson - Without You Roxy Music - Love is the Drug The Beatles - Good Day Sunshine Queen - Somebody to Love Donna Summer - Dim All the Lights Orchestral Manoeuvers In the Dark - Souvenir The Cure - A Forest Simple Minds - I Travel Tubeway Army - Are 'Friends' Electric? John Foxx - Underpass Visage - Fade to Gray Yello - I Love You Peter Gabriel - Games Without Frontiers This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren Depeche Mode - Everything Counts Kraftwerk - Tour de France Ryuichi Sakamoto & David Sylvian - Bamboo Houses Miles Davis - So What Dave Brubeck Quartet - Take Five

[@benking6930]

Not overly familiar with New Wave. This was an introduction to some great songs that I had not heard but can now appreciate.

[@johnrampoldi]

I recently discovered that Midge Ure wrote the lyrics to Fade to Grey by Visage. Listening to Nowhere Girl by B Movie, I can hear similarities to I Ran (So Far Away) by A Flock of Seagulls.

[@robertspencer7921]

Very interesting , some songs already familiar with but those not will take the time to check them out ...you create very engaging content and present it like a friend ..excellent and thank you

[@atreju65]

Nowhere Girl. In my opinion THE hymn of the 80‘s.

[@Michael19841]

Some great song selections 👍 (Hope you don’t mind be saying but Increasing the aperture on your lens so everything’s in focus may help the focus of your videos.)

[@poetryonplastic]

Is that the speakers corner pressing of Horses? That might be my favorite rock reissue that label has ever done.

[@Michael45RPM]

Yes it is and yes it is fantastic

[@rodrigollanes7619]

@@Michael45RPM Land is also my favorite song by her. And the SC reissue is great, but I think Transformer is even better!

[@richardhedges1109]

I thought you would like this ! BUT, if we spin the disk at 45rpm we now have a 35% increase in groove velocity at any point on the disk. This is a huge advantage! Yes, the groove still slows down as it moves inward, but the effects are greatly reduced. The only problem is that the amount of recorded time is now also reduced by 35%. What do you do about that? (Hint: split up the LP into 4 sides on 2 records.) Now you’re cookin’ doc! Yep, twice the mastering cost, plating cost, pressing cost, label and jacket costs. It’s enough to make the bean-counters break down and cry. But the sound! Oooooh, yeah! This isn’t sales hype, it’s physics. Listen for yourself. You tell me if it’s worth it. A lot of music lovers think so…and they are right!

[@lucalone]

well, a well mastered compact disc can have a greater dymanic range than a 45 rpm vinyl record, what you say to that? but the LOUDNESS WAR mastering has given cd's a bad name, which they do not deserve !! damn those big record companies for being stuck soundwise in 1990 !!

[@easylife3464]

Really enjoyed this one a great way to explore new music, especially the german artists that I don't think I would have stumbeled upon else where.

Would be in my top 20 for sure

Great list. Not all of my taste maybe because I am more a child of the late 80s but OMD, Patty Smith, LReed .... all great. Mr Dylan no discussion! My wife and I went trough the whole list today... some new stuff for us, some pretty memories... made our sunday, thanks!😎😁

[@Mark-tw5ws]

Thought you might say "How Soon is Now?", The Smiths for number 1. I was wrong. However I do love your pick. Enjoying your channel, thanks.

[@lucalone]

hard to say which are my favorite songs of all time, but I have a short list for the best songs I consider being the best of the 20th century: over the rainbow by judy garland, sitting on the dock of the bay by otis redding and maybe yesterday by the beatles and like a rolling stone by dylan. my personal favorites (although that changes from time to time^): little wing by hendrix, strawberry fields by the beatles and there's a light that never goes out by the smiths.

[@andrewreed4924]

Great choices! I wasn't born until the end of the 80s so most of my formative years were in the 90s and 00s. But I've always been drawn more to older music so a lot of my list could be interchangeable with yours, except maybe my taste for Heavy Metal. I think we even placed Heroes by Bowie at the same rank! Honorable mentions to Pet Shop Boys - It's a Sin, Jimi Hendrix - The Wind Cries Mary, Kate Bush - Running Up That Hill, and my personal favorite Joy Division song, Transmission. 20. Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - The Platters (1958) 19. Dancing On My Own - Robyn (2010) 18. Second Skin - The Chameleons (1983) 17. The Only Living Boy in New York - Simon & Garfunkel (1970) 16. Sweet Leaf - Black Sabbath (1971) 15. Nobody’s Baby Now - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (1994) 14. Starless - King Crimson (1973) 13. Fight the Power - Public Enemy (1989) 12. Soon - My Bloody Valentine (1991) 11. Cosmic Dancer - T. Rex (1971) 10. Hallowed Be Thy Name - Iron Maiden (1982) 09. Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me - The Smiths (1987) 08. Norwegian Wood (The Bird Has Flown) - The Beatles (1965) 07. Alison - Slowdive (1993) 06. Road to Nowhere - Talking Heads (1985) 05. No Quarter - Led Zeppelin (1973) 04. Heroes- David Bowie (1977) 03. Pictures of You - The Cure (1989) 02. Crazy - Patsy Cline (1961) 01. God Only Knows - The Beach Boys (1966)

[@JBLClassic]

I picked up the reissued 7” and it sounds great!

Great, interesting list Michael. As you mentioned, these lists depend on the music time line you were in and the community you moved around with. I would have much more grunge in my list :-)

Hi Michael, You have such a knowledgeable ear for electronic and ambient music. I would love to know which albums you can recommend, that you consider to be audiophile releases. Thank you

Motorhead cover of Heroes is terrific, check it out! Mi 5 faves songs are Sound Of Silence of S&G (still remember the first time I listened that song), Linger of The Cranberries, My Sweet Lord of George Harrison, Simple Man of Synyrd and Interestate Love Song of STP

[@dank.6942]

What a great list of songs! Excellent choices. So well produced and totally great songwriting and playing too!

[@phonohead]

Actually, on the topic of cover tracks. Depeche Mode did a pretty sublime and well executed version of Heroes as well.

[@phonohead]

Hell, I'll throw in a fun fact about that as well. Dave Gahan (singer of DM) auditioned for the band, and chose Heroes as the song. This gave him the gig.

[@timmylang5645]

I was expecting all crappy jazz ;-) , but not a single one, thank god! The Who, Patti Smith, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, several good songs! Do you have Discogs? and is it opened for the public?
