Jam out to 80's music! Post some music and let's talk about it.


Rules

  1. All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
  2. Be constructive and don't gatekeep. People have different tastes in music; deal with it.
  3. If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL and not some random Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write those to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
  4. Submissions must be from the 80s (1980 - 1989) based on either recorded or release date. e.g. if it was recorded in 1989 but released in 1990, we're not going to split hairs over that; post away. Covers made in the 80s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.

Posting Guidelines / Suggestions

  1. The preferred title format is Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
  2. If a song has a particular meaning or evokes a pleasant memory for you, feel free to share your story with it.

If you have other suggestions that would help grow the community and/or foster discussion, please feel free to share.

Sampled by Massive Attack's for their track Daydreaming. Badarou was involved with Level 42 but never became an official member.

"Video Killed the Radio Star" was originally released as a single in 1979, and then a slightly different edit was released on their first full-length LP in 1980. So it's sort of a "border" 80s song. And, of course, its biggest claim to fame was being the first song released on MTV when the network first launched (although they used the single edit I think).
