Speaking of Belinda Carlisle; did we ever start a thread regarding music from the '80s?

I remember that decade most for the hair. And the music was good too.







Also when purpose-made videos like those came out.

I was thinking of starting out with the official video from Belinda.



And one from:

A couple of forgotten oldies.

Stumbled upon this one last week; hadn't seen the video or heard the song since...back when.

This is a 'one of' live performance from the late 80s on the Johnny Carson show
The late great Eddie Shaver is subbing for Pete Anderson in Dwight Yoakum's band. Eddie does a helluva job

I like the early 80's the best ~ Blondie, Cars, Fleetwood Mac, Zappa, B52's

Expected a lot more action in this thread. Lots of great stuff from the 80s.

Not only did we have great tunes in the '80s, we had great parodies of great tunes!



And quite a few girl groups besides The Go-Gos.
Some wore leg warmers at times.

B-52s, with lots of hair!

How about some Yes?

For me, the 1980s was all about college indie rock, a precursor to 90s alternative (I prefer college indie).

think we have done this before,


not sure


either way, some of the best music ,,,

saw these guys not too long ago,

all original members still active,


and were fantastic

Beat Tour, 2 original King Crimson members with Steve Via and the drummer from Tool,


surely this will be on the play list
