no, it didn't. It only ruled your mind. The guitar, the sitar, sampling, backmasking, and digital all existed. The thing that was super cool about the 80's, is that everything and every genre was were all exploding, all at once. I guess you missed that experience. For instance, Metallica and Skinny Puppy were both born in the 80's. Everything was available, everything was out there. I'm actually kind of sad you missed that. And glad I didn't.

During the 1970s I and a schoolfriend were big fans of Vangelis and Tomita and thought electric guitars were completely old hat. However, in the early 1980s it was amazing to see and hear synths go from a niche instrument few musicians could afford to the mainstream. p.s. Do you realise this was from The Human Leagues third album. However, both they, and Heaven 17 who were the "musical" part of the group got fed up with being niche and went for a full on Pop sound. It obviously worked as this was the U.K.s 1981 Christmas Number 1 single back when that actually meant something.

Came here to say the same thing... a masterpiece of lyrical story telling. They waste NO time in setting up the story and bringing you into it, then (seamlessly) comes the other side and both are relatable. "Paradise by the dashboard light" also comes to mind as a terrific "back and forth" relating both sides of a story. Also an EPIC song.

@Joe Owen I have lost count of how many times I have seen them live and each has been a good show. The funny thing is back in the 1980s they never toured as it was difficult with synths and they didn't need to. p.s. A US Billboard number one with Human proves they certainly weren't / aren't a one hit wonder. p.p.s Ever heard of Depeche Mode ? Another synth band who have had a bit of success.

It knocked me out in 1981 during the second wave of Britpop, when I was in junior high. We were hit with a blast of groundbreaking music and the birth of god knows how many new genres-New Wave, punk, synth pop, alternative rock, the beginnings of Prince’s Minneapolis sound, the birth of Hip Hop-not to mention the launch of the MTV era (when it was relevant and new). Also in 1981! And it seemed to last forever, but vanished all too fast with the introduction of disposable music-ProTools, low-fi downloads and the demise of music stores and Death of the Album. The thing that makes listening to this stuff a bit bittersweet is that I was too naive at the time to realize how lucky I was to be young, alive and a music fanatic during such a flood of innovation and creativity, the likes of which I’ll probably never see again in my lifetime. I’ve tried to describe that period to my nieces and nephews, and I’ve managed to turn them on to a lot of music from the eighties. But I can’t take them to see Prince and Sheila E. on New Year’s Eve in 1984 as I did in tenth grade, or describe the smell of the aisles and aisles of 12 inch singles at Bill’s Records and Tapes, or what it was like to drive around with the top down listening to “The Adventure Club” on THE EDGE 94.5 on winter Sunday nights in Dallas. I can’t explain the thrill of finding an obscure 12” of Depeche Mode’s “Shake the Disease” during my summer trip to Berlin in 1985 or what it was like to make fake IDs and dance to “The Politics of Dancing” underage at the Starck Club (that SOUND system! The MIDI-synched laser beams plunging down to the dance floor! A substance-free high like no other…). The payoff is seeing 150 million views of this vid and the thousands of comments assuring me that legions of others get it. To the folks who voted it down, share the music experience that gave YOU the thrill that mine did-music is the ultimate social catalyst, so pay it forward! ✌️

I was born in 87 and still heard these songs because of my mom . What it must've been like to hear so many hit songs released day after day
