Maybe I'm just old and feeling nostalgic but those were the days.

I love the music but the music videos from that era really kick ass, you don;t see that schit anymore.

I think it's time to start a 80's music thread ;) What do the rest of you think?
 
there are better music the 50's and 60's "ganster music" or those used in fallout 3.

IMO there wasn't much good music from the 80s, there was too much experimentation with new music technology which gave it a really amature sound.
70s, 60s and 50s though.... :D

For the 80's kids!
 
I was watching the David Fincher directed Cold Hearted from Paula Abdul the other day on Youtube.Its still one of the best music videos around IMHO.
 
Michael Jackson and Madonna..........FULL STOP!.....oh yes.....WHAM, BROS, Curiosity killed the Cat and Rick Ashley...!
 
I don't miss it, per se...

newer and interesting stuff to listen to...

and Depeche Mode is still going...;)
 
60’s to the 80’s rocked as many of those songs still rock to the extend that they remix some of them.

Some good bands music happens now and then even today. But. the songs words melodies messages of most stuff today sucks.

I try to listen as I have a teenage daughter and it gives us a common interest. Yes there are a few good songs but not like in the bad old days way back then.
 
And don't want your money baby I want your luuuurve!
