All of us older folks (I’m 46) that grew up in the 80’s, we’ve been trying to tell you younger generation folks, this what our radio sounded like. It was hit, after hit, after hit, after 80. Cumulative wise, no other decade can touch the 80’s.
My high school and college years in the 80s. Glorious. No cell phones, drinking age was still 18 in a lot of places, and life was pretty good. I'd go back for sure.
@@Kev27RS Like everything, this is a subjective matter, but it is widely regarded that the songwriting and melodies were stronger during the sixties, and if you were to drop your age bias, this become apparent to you. The eighties and nineties have their share of great bands, but the vast majority can't hold up to the likes of Dylan, Hendrix, Beatles, Kinks, Small Faces, Stones, Zappa, The Byrds, The Doors, ad infinitum. There really is no comparison, and as i said earlier, this has been the general consensus for years now!
@@Katehowe3010 Don't get me wrong, the 60s and 70s has great music as well. The 80s and especially the 90s had so much more to offer than Rock bands...
@@Kev27RS Talk Talk, my favourite band were a product of the eighties, although their last two albums are timeless, unplaceable masterpieces, and Nirvana, the most important rock band of the nineties could release 'Teen Spirit' today, and it would fit straight back into the modern landscape! You cannot say this about the majority of eighties acts, as they are chained to the synthetic production values of the day. What's most important is that you like what you choose to, and that agreeing to disagree is the sensible outcome! Cheers.
Agreed. I was born in 89, so I mostly grew up with my mother's music from the 70's and 80's (and of course 90's music in the radio). In my opinion, the 80's had the best music, followed by the 60's, followed by the 90's, followed by uh... 70's and 2000's on a shared place, lol. Most music made past 2010 is just sad and past 2020, downright depressing 😆I know I'll be accused of bias cause it's "what the youngins listen to" or whatever, but I am after all only 34 and I think it's objective, that modern music has very little melody, hardly ever any real instruments and is largely one-dimensional and samey.
I wasn't feeling this at first, but then we got to the songs I remember from my childhood halfway through, what a trip! Amazing music to grow up to. Great video man.
Pope! How are you? Even though I am a Juventus fan, I love your AC Milan jersey! I just discovered your channel. Yes! Those were ALL 80s hits and very familiar songs. I keep going with your interest in the music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. They were the best. Also, spread the word!! We have to educate the younger generation that the music of today is nothing compared to the decades of the past.
Wow, brings back so many great memories, when I was care free, and living life with do mush joy. I'm 60 years old, 4 grown beautiful kids, 4 beautiful grandkids, and look back in the day with fond heart felt happiness. Thanks for the journey.
The 80s was the decade that first introduced MTV and video culture as a new inseparable industry that music artists were suddenly faced with. This resulted in pressures for slick production and tighter, more accessible hooks, competition for more video rotation in addition to radio. The old guard of the 60s and 70s had to sink or swim with these new demands. Many great veteran artists had to compromise; YES went for a harder, metal-pop sound, Genesis went mainstream pop, David Bowie went for a slick, refined, dance pop approach which resulted in his weakest period. Pink Floyd broke up, Led Zep were no more. In spite of all these difficult shifts new artists like Prince, Talking Heads, Eurythmics,The Police, Madonna, and of course Michael Jackson's peak period, Peter Gabriel's strongest era, etc, introduced an exciting new paradigm. It was a very interesting shift into a more "plastic" era and artists who were used to surviving via the power of their music and concert draws alone were faced with a very difficult transitional era for pop-rock.
as someone born in 1985, MJ and Roxette was my jam back in childhood. Followed by all the boybands in the 90s. (NSYNC, West Life, BSB, MLTR, Boyzone, Boyz II Men, etc)
*When all of his work is combined (producing, solo stuff, Genesis stuff and collaborations) no artist spent more time in the US Top 40 in the 80s than Phil Collins.*
Talk about a trip down memory lane. These were my teen years. On a side note, this reminded me of a weird dream I had a few months ago where I was trying to crawl up a sand dune while being circled by toddlers riding electric tricycles and singing "Rock me Amadeus" Hey, I said it was weird... 🤣😂🤣
Sad that they only played like 5 seconds of each, they definitely should had done 10secs. That said there was a few on this list that I hadn’t heard in years. I grew up in the 80s it was a magical time. Also as far as pop music, nothing beat the 80s
Thank you for the trip down memory lane! I am old enough to remember when each of these came out! Also, how awesome is the power of music? I have specific memories that pop up every time a different song 🎶 came on. ✌️🤘🏼🎶
There were a few in there that I don't think I had ever heard...but the rest I remember well. Yes, the 80's had some major hits - in both Pop and Rock. I was in my late teens during the beginning of the 80's, early 20's in the latter part of the decade. Hearing some of these brings back some fond memories of the time.
You hit it right on the head pop diversity there isn't any today.today's music lacks soul it all sounds the same bores me to tears thank god we've got videos that can take us back when music was full of diversity and greatness plus longevity.
absolutely, people had a unique sound or else they didn't get on the radio, and you needed a great song to be on the radio or just wouldn't be on it, you had tons of one hit wonders, you don't have one hit wonders now, it's just a couple of the same people getting on the radio no matter what they put up, the game is rigged, songs put together with the same formula and imagery marketed over art, the 80's had great songs in all genres, I think we probably peaked in the late 80's, somewhere around there, when the internet came, or at least the mp3..it all went down hill, a blessing and a curse
Omg the 80’s……wow my best years in my youth….much partying and dancing. Many I recognice here, but I remember many songs who was much better than this, but we nearly dance to everything anyway 💃🏼🤩😂🍻😅 Thank you so much for sharing 🤩
I know their are pockets of good music happening today. That said. With everything laid out like that. I can't help but notice. How diverse even the mainstream popular music sounds, of that era were. Compared to today's.
Dude I just started watching your reactions today and you're already my favorite easily your reactions to my all time favorite band led zeppelin are awesome keep up the good work!!!!
i forgot how awesome 1984 was for music. i grew up all the the 80s and i remember every song and it just triggered 10 years of memories. looking back at it now, we were striving for the kind of technology we have today, but in all honesty, 80s and 90s pre-internet were so much better. The 2000s sucked and continue to go downhill.
i had to swing by for the train wreck and nostalgia that was the 80s. my very first live show was EARTH WIND & FIRE while they were in the spaceship phase. lolz
I was born in the 80's...strange times when I look back on it but there was some good music during that time...you had to actually have talent to be successful
My husband sticks to his strong opinion that the 80’s is the worst decade for music . ( of course he’s stuck in the late 60’s and 70’s ) I love all music .
99 luftballoons came out 83... the closest we came to a hot war since the Cuban missile crisis. in the span of 40 days The Soviets shot down a Korean 747 that had accidentally entered their airspace. Stanislav Petrov was the commanding officer in the command center of the Oko nuclear early-warning system. when 6 launches were detected out of the US. He disregarded his orders concerned that it was an error... which it was... If the Soviets had launched retaliatory strikes the US would retaliate in kind this would have been well devastating so we got lucky there. Then Able Archer 83 happened where the US and Nato didn't tell the Soviets it was a simulation/Wargames and they thought Nato was about to invade so they prepared with troop movements and prepared their missile forces to launch... thankfully that shook Nato up and they ended the wargames. Thankfully things cool way the fuck off after this... so just remember in some fucked up apocalyptic version in 1983 the world as we knew it ended.

80s was the $hit! The Hair, Music, Fashion, the CARS!!! so many unique muscle & sports cars
The 80's was just non-stop genre-defining song after generation-defining song after era-defining song.

Ya you guys are lucky I wish I was born in this generation I love the 80s
cool
46?
You were a minor in the 80s. You talk like you were hitting the dancefloors all through the 80s,
give me a break...lol
60's ❤
60s all the way
My high school and college years in the 80s. Glorious. No cell phones, drinking age was still 18 in a lot of places, and life was pretty good. I'd go back for sure.
Onslaught of Michael, Madonna, Prince, Whitney, Tina, George, Cyndi… etc. What a marvelous time
Michael Jackson and Madonna ruled the 80's it looks like.. missing Michael so much I wish he was here..
Im 63 and a huge Yes Floyd Genesis Dead Zeppelin fan but I loved Micheal since ABC.
And Freddie Mercury, George Michael , Prince , David Bowie etc
The 80’s was the best decade ever! Thank you for the great memories!! Loved watching you enjoy the music!
60s was the superior decade. No argument!!

Hey, excellent job. Can’t believe I said to myself, I loved that song!! Well done.
I'm a 60's and 70's guy but the 80's had quite a few bangers. Happy man you featured this collection of 80's hits.
I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again. The 80’s were the best decade when it came to Music, Movies and Toys!
Agree!!

As a child of the 80s, I still vaguely remember a lot of these being released and seeing the videos on MTV back when they showed music videos.
Glad you enjoyed this music. This was my decade. I was in high school and college all through this.
The 80's were rocking, most fun dancing, clothes, hair. It was total fun.
Me born late 70's. 80's and 90's songs are fire
I remember and loved the '80s, we were still in the times before Auto-Tune. Times when you really had to know how to sing. 😊
I was in my 20’s during the 80’s and yes it was a epic time in music and life, so so soooooo fun.
Yep, a lot of good stuff in the 80s.
I LOVE your reaction, style, the fact you don't (just) listen to mainstream. Big fan!
Yeah the 80's really had some hit machines.
I wasn't feeling this at first, but then we got to the songs I remember from my childhood halfway through, what a trip! Amazing music to grow up to. Great video man.
Madonna dominated the 80s man. Love ver!!!! Rock N roll too. Brazil loves Everybody hates Chris!!!!

I was 8-18 in the 80s… unique, crazy, awesome music that transitioned to what we hear today. It was the beginning of electronica and rap
80s was a great decade for music and films.
I was born in the 80s, I love 80s music bit there's a few of those songs I don't know, never heard before. But alot of those I have heard & love them.
80s And 50s r 2 underrated music decades.
Yes loved the 80's, I was a kid and I remember pretty much everything they played.
I love that kind of reactions. Loved it
That was fun to watch, feeling nostalgic the good old days when Disco was happening 👍

Your reactions make me laugh it’s funny when you see the humor in some of these songs I was a teenager in the eighties so I remember all of these
80s are the best

Wow...memories!!! Fantastic vid!!
Some of my most vivid childhood memories are from the Feb 1988-Dec 1989 era. I listened to the radio a lot during those times
My favorite decade for music
*When all of his work is combined (producing, solo stuff, Genesis stuff and collaborations) no artist spent more time in the US Top 40 in the 80s than Phil Collins.*
I may be biased but the 80's were clearly the best decade for music period.
My entire childhood in 15 mins
Trip down memory lane. And very, very accurate or close.
Hope you view some more Zep songs pretty soon. It's gratifying to see a young person react to them the way us old-timers' do.
i´m from germany, and I´m a big Michael Jackson fan, since I was 5 years old.
Talk about a trip down memory lane. These were my teen years.
On a side note, this reminded me of a weird dream I had a few months ago where I was trying to crawl up a sand dune while being circled by toddlers riding electric tricycles and singing "Rock me Amadeus"

more variety than any other in this decade
Christ, the music was so much better back then. Every month was a classic near enough!

You need to react to the bat dance PRINCE!!! OMG ITS BEEN SO LONG!!!
Thanks for making me realize I'm old....just realized I had many of the first ones on 45 records.
Madonna and Michael ruled the 80's!
react to everybody wants to rule the world, its a great song.
i had to swing by for the train wreck and nostalgia that was the 80s.

I am not overly fond of the 80s , but i think the 70s was worse.
As a huge Yes fan I truly miss Micheal Jackson
The 80s were amazing! The Decade of Decadence for good reason lol
6:10 clutch
GO MICHAEL
Wait wait wait, you thought a Lionel Richie song was from the 60's?
As a teeager of the 80’s myself, there are 5 songs among the 120 I didn’t know. 😁 But I think they weren’t big hits in my country.
Wow you didn’t know one of the best songs ever .. cutting crew I just died in your arms tonight
Lambada by Kaoma at 13:22. I feel sure I've heard that tune somewhere else by someone else. I just can't think where.
RIP Tina Turner
Sadly some of the greats and most featured in the 80’s are no longer with us:
MJ
Prince
Whitney
Bowie
George Michael
Thank God we still have Madonna!
I suggest and highly endorse you checking each one of these songs…you won’t be sorry.
This is definitely a UK charts video, not a US one. Just so you know
UK video would have had different bands in it
@@eveningglow2608 sounds like a UK one to me. I don’t think some of these were even hits in the US.
Michael Jackson, the most loved and beautiful rock symbol! The only dark chocolate boy to turn caramel and end up vanilla!
All those MJ songs and yet Thriller wasn't there. Great video by the way
Thriller the song was never really a huge hit. Let's not pretend it was.
Know every one, was 16 in 1980.
Marvin Gaye sings at lakers game, you will love it
80's were the best
Rickrolled us along the way ...
This has got to be UK popularity, right?
Most of these songs endured the test of time. But some of them didn't age too well.
Shaddap you face by Joe Dolce kept Vienna by Ultravox from the No 1 position in the Uk.
You should check out some of Todd Rundgren's work from the '70s. I suggest "Utopia Theme" and "Real Man".
It started out pretty strong but those last few years was pure death.
Not sure if I agree with the popularity of some of these songs. But there were too many to pick from I suppose. Good song list though
4 of the 1st songs 5 songs were from 1979 ,,,,
99 luftballoons came out 83... the closest we came to a hot war since the Cuban missile crisis. in the span of 40 days The Soviets shot down a Korean 747 that had accidentally entered their airspace.
