    As a 50-year-old man, I can tell the younger generations that the 80's were a fantastic decade in many ways, there was optimism, faith in an bright future and cool things around every corner....Greetz from Balkans,Europe

      Limahl's name is an anagram of his real surname - Hamill.
      He was the singer in a group called Kajagoogoo - whose biggest hit "Too Shy" was a UK no.1 in 1982.
      Nick Rhodes, keyboard player with Duran Duran co-produced it.
      Rick Astley was huge in the UK - he started as a 'tea Boy' in a recording studio owned by Stock, Aitken and Waterman - three record producers who had the Midas Touch when recognising Pop talent.

  • @burke615
    @burke615 2 месяца назад +6

    7:16 The editor put a comment, "Probably a cassette, ya dummy," when the host said that a student brought back a Roxette CD. We absolutely had CDs in 1988. I had had a Sony Discman CD player in high school, and in 1988 as a freshman in college I bought a portable stereo (what we called a boom box) with a CD player. CDs were at least 5 or 6 years old at that point, and were certainly my preferred musical format by 1986, let alone 1988.
    So yeah, maybe it was a cassette, but there is nothing dumb about assuming it was a CD.

And with music from 1950ies from old movies with Sinatra, Dean Martin, Merylin Monroe, Doris Day.... As kid I occupied my uncle's vinyls he collected while living in France, stuff like Edit Piaff and Jacques Brell...he had fantastic collection and I still love that music that nobody listens to anymore :)

  • @danielkarlsson258

    Rick Astley is still awesome on social media.
    Feels pretty unfair to put other artist's "American hits" on here but not Roxette's "It must have been love". That goes for The Pogues as well.
    Edit - Also an observation: whe they hear a slow song the first thing they think about is taking out there phones, not dancing close with a person.

      To me, it's technology. It gives every kid free music with little monetization to the artists. With little money being made, it's hard to sift out the highly talented and promote them, creating healthy competition to match each other. The older gen z's and youngest millennials at my work LOVE all the classic great artists from the 60;s 70's and 80's. The demand is out there, but the system doesn't monetize and supply it. ....imho

    Ultravox - "Vienna"

    A few things here, from my memory:
    Roxette "The Look" - the American exchange student who went to Sweden dropped it off at his local Top 40 station in Minneapolis, not college rock. But still that's where it was first heard in America and spread throughout the country.
    The Pretenders "Don't Get Me Wrong" - the video is an homage to the popular '60s British TV spy series "The Avengers".
    New Order "Blue Monday" - the dog is a Weimeramer, the video director's dog.
    Bonus points for including The Pogues, Echo and PSB (known for SO MUCH MORE than "West End Girls").

    5 out of 10 for Dio?! WHAT?! That's shocking, that kid needs to have word with himself. Also, background dude, your moustache is f**king top shelf.

    I can just appreciate that I know 90% of these songs from my job. I’ve come to realize 99.9% of 80’s music is just bangers

    I grew up in the 80’s. Of course, I’m nostalgic about the 80’s. What is funny to me is that most kids raised in later generations like the 90’s, the 2000’s and so on have nostalgia for a time they didn’t lived. I’m guessing it is their parents’s nostalgia that bled into them, like my son, my nephew and my adopted daughter, they all love the ‘80s and wished they could go time travel to that time. In my case, I would take a week long vacation to the 70’s, when I was little and my mom was young.

    80's music was so good. I grew up listening all these. Just great tunes.

      Not really, I grew up listening to these too, but now I can't even listen to it, except a few. There was some great music for sure,
      but pop was trash.

    I don’t think they should show the music videos. Some of them are judging the song based on the visuals, instead of the actual music.

    Funny that Rick Astley got such high praise in this video. The guy was a one hit kid back in the 80's.

    This was one of the best episodes you've created! Please do a 90s version of this, it would be interesting to see if the Gen Zers know more 90s deep cuts compared to this 80s one.

    The Pogues were originally called Pogue Mahone - an anglicised version of the gaelic phrase "póg mo thóin" which means "Kiss my arse". They changed it after a DJ on BBC radio refused to say their name after he was told what it meant.

    The producer has no clue what a deep cut is. He was born in the 80’s not a teen or young adult then experiencing these songs. They need to get the Gen x reactors to choose the music for this or me! I have music they have never heard from the 80’s and it is on vinyl!

    I saw Never Ending Story in the theaters in the 2nd grade (1985) and fell in love with it immediately. My favorite movie EVER and BEST SCORE EVER!!! So glad you included Limahl for these kiddos. 😎😎

    Duran Duran released Notorious in 1986 - The Notorious B.I.G name was created in 1993
    So, no it wasn't about Biggie Smalls.

      He sampled the song in one of his songs. They said it weird, though. I had to rewind and read.

      Agreed. Duran Duran wrote Notorious. Biggie actually took their hit later on.

    Literally all of these songs were massive hit singles. A "deep cut" is a song you only discover on an album or b-side.
