This is the 3rd time that I had to upload the video, as it got blocked for copyright infringement twice over the last 16 months.

As someone like myself who was born in 1963. Music of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s cannot be topped, it truly was the golden era of music.

[Sesboy]

The whole Thriller Album is on here. Best Album ever

[vegasbaby]

Born in 1974 here. So I am a very proud child of the 80’s. I knew every one of these songs, except 3. I wouldn’t trade being born in 1974 for anything.

[sarahsho]

crazy how you know literally ever one of these, even when born in the 2000s

[solotacoamigo]

For someone who was born in the early 2000s, I'm glad I have great taste in music. My parents introduced me to this music and it's the greatest thing ever.

[johnsmith-zyxg]

Freddie, Michael, George, Irene, Whitney, Van Halen, Prince, David, Olivia, Falco, Laura, and countless others...we have lost so much...

[marsanda]

Michael Jackson king of the 80s I’m 17 and I love him to death 👑

[applejam]

There's a reason why Michael Jackson is called the King Of Pop. You can't explain the 80s without MJ. 👑

[cassiebarber]

i was born in 97 but i love 60s 70s and 80s music and i can see why newer music is hated on

[stephanypasnin]

RIP, MJ, Whitney, George Michael, Eddie, Prince, David and others . Thx for the memories

[kanilin]

These are not just songs..EACH and EVERY song has the Sweetest of memories..a recollections of those days when we were young and free..when music had emotions🤗😢🧡

[THEJUKE]

The 80s is hands down the best decade for music and tv ever. Change my mind!

[Luka_]

I was born in the mid 2000s but I'm so happy that I grew up with the music from the 80s. Music from that decade can't be topped

[soundofnellody]

I can see myself - 10 years old - waiting with my hands close to the tape recorder in anticipation that the radio finally plays the song that I

[Hendrik]

7:32 my favorite 80's Song!!! 💪 💪 💪 Laura Brainigan - Self Control 1984.

R.I.P

[rhiannajd]

Don’t Dream It’s Over is one of my favorite song of all time. The 80s were just incredible.

[ellen_trim_dance]

I was born in 1993, and have always felt I was born in the wrong decade. My 80s playlist is on daily. Love it! ♥️

[sarmitma]

The intro of The Eye of The Tiger is sooo famous, people very often take it as soundtrack or partial clip to express the bravery or the fighting spirit, or even people use it for local on stage performance. What an everlasting song!

[ygaltuil]

I love all but Michael Jackson is The King of Pop !!!
