We all know the 80s were not the best era for music (and hair, for that matter) by a longshot, but you have to admit it had some pretty catchy tunes and videos that are still pretty relevant today in pop culture. Just wanted to see if there are any you all like?

This is one of my all-time faves :grinthumb


I Can't Wait - Nu Shooz


And...

Come on Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners

^^^ I remember my grandma getting excited when Dexy's released that song cos her name was Eileen :heheh: Have you noticed (unless it's a UK thing) that at every wedding reception evening do the dj plays Come On Eileen! Great song!

How about a bit of those wild boys, the Duranies?

:grinthumb Duran Duran was definitely a pop staple in the 80's.

Who could forget this one?

The 80s were famous for the one hit wonders!

One of the coolest (and most parodied) 80s videos:
