Gosh, the 80s had some amazing pop music!

[earlleary]

I just relived getting an Atari, riding my 12 speed bike wearing my Walkman, getting my first car, going from short hair to long hair, going to my first concert, attending 3 proms, graduating, and having my first job.
And these songs and many more made up my entire teen life .
Love the 80's.

Major from middle school to university, boyfriends, friends, parties, record shops in downtown Toronto. A lot of life happened in that decade.

'The Living Years'. Absolutely love it!

Music today will never be as good as this.

[goingplaces]

The music of my youth. Back then we have to wait till they play our favorites on MTV. Compared to today's songs which are quickly forgotten, these songs live forever and sung generation after generation and still sounds great. Singers of today are nothing compared to the likes of MJ, Madonna, Whitney, Cyndi, George Michael, Prince, Tiffany, Janet, etc. Significantly missing is "Thriller", which became No. 1 from Feb 26, 1983 to April 14, 1984.

[flightforge]

almost all of the slow songs played are always played in most radio stations here in the Philippines ...the 80's hits never gets old

[vhagerty]

[staciemccorkle]
