The wonderful music of the 80s ... In just one year there was better music than in the last full decade ...

[maestroh]

The best thing about 2020 is watching music from the 1980s

[bacchuslax]

If I’m stuck in covid quarantine at least I got my 80’s

[bluestraycat]

Takes me back! I was 15 in 1985 Love these songs, a few of them I've never heard of though. The 80s were awesome, you can only know if you were there!

🎉 greetings from coastal Mississippi. 1985 had impressive songs that are still listenable nearly 40 yrs later. Thanks for this memory filled treat 😂❤

[jeremyc]

Oh man were the 80’s the best! I didn’t even like half the music at the time, but even the ones I didn’t like, still give me great memories! Therefore, I love them all now!

[doljoh]

Just hearing a few lines from these songs brings back some of the best memories from growing up in the 80's

[sonofabeach]

1985...the year of my massive obsession with Madonna and Duran Duran...

[shaunwhite]

The best thing about 2021 is..well nothing really. Apart from youtube to take me straight back to my happy place.. but at the time we didnt realise how great the 80s were.. every song attaches a memory from 36 years ago
.. modern music we wont remember next month let alone 30 odd years ...RIP prince x

[agarioplays]

The 70s 80s 90s and 2000 were the best it’s sad that you cannot go back in time 😭💔

[rollforever]

Born in 85. What a great year for music!!

[BudSchnelker]

It's amazing how many of these songs, even a few seconds of them, evoke an almost physical reaction, a reminder of where I was, what I was doing.
