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?


I'm Sorry, but I don't agree with this statement ? :nw: I grew up in the 80's ? And it wasn't any worse and I would argue better than alot of formulated bs pop of THIS era :wtf:...At least Mtv STILL played music..Jersey Shore was where Bon Jovi came from to me...:grinthumb


However , there WAS alot of awesome cheesey songs..awesome new wave new romantic and the second british invasion ..hair metal..southern rock ...M.J. & Madonna at THEIR best..big hair ..it was awesome and alot of fun



that being said : Sir Paul made a really horrible movie with his wife Linda,Denny Lane ,Ringo .And mrs. Ringo Barbra Bach 'Give My Regards To Broadstreet'

but some great music came out of that 1984 crapper..

I forgot what the track was.
There was a video clip for it, basically woman (singer) is standing on a roof of building and the crowd is watching her, cause she wants to fall down. And some doctor in a weird mask rescues her and so the crowd celebrates by doing weird dance. But the story continues as that woman has been taken to the hospital. Anyone knows that?



I'm posting a lot of videos, but believe me or not - I loved 80s and still like to listen them again after few years. :D

I love this song! :flirt


Speaking of great cheesy 80s pop, I love me some Bananarama!







and one of my favorite 80s classics of all time!
