Favorite 70's/80's Songs and Videos

I use to work for Daryl Hall and John Oates as a photographer and was brought up on the music of the 70's and 80's. So here's your chance to post your favorite song with or without a video. Feel free to add why you like it.

My first is an offbeat song by The Cars, Heartbeat City. One of my favorite bands of all time.

I was born in 81 but most of the music I love is from the 70-90 era. Mostly rock and metal but I’ll listen to anything that has a strong message and real instruments. This is one of my favorites from 1980.

Great song but was soooooooooooooo overplayed it made you sick for 10 years. Only now can I begin to appreciate it. Good choice!

Forever Young by Rod Stewart and Deuces Are Wild by Aerosmith are the most special to me. My parents constantly played these and sang them to my sister and I. Now I play them for my kids.

I generally enjoy most things by Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, The Beatles, AC/DC, Queen... some Stones. Most "golden oldies" and Motown stuff too.

I was born in the 70's but growing up it was Wham, Depeche Mode, Cyndi Lauper...and so on! But my all time favorite was Depeche Mode. I actually saw them in concert last year when they came to Toronro. Let me tell ya, it was an excellent concert- they still have it going on! :sweeet:

Found another. Mr. Mister

FUN FUN FUN thread, thank you !!!

Do I have to choose ONE song ?? That is like impossible, the music back then was THE BEST !!!

Ok, let me pick a big time favorite !!

The Smithereens - Behind the wall of sleep

That song is so freakin awesome ! The other thing about it, its really time less. If you didn't know what era it was from, you could guess 70's, 80's, 90's or whenever since then, really !!

When I listen to that, I dream of flying down some desert highway, past gorgeous views under a wide open blue sky, nothing but desert mountains and views, flying by in my big truck with all windows and roof top open :D:D:D:bow::bow::bow:

What? No Nena? Falco? (I know, he's Austrian). I'll have one for you later.
And just think, it was the 70's and 80's when almost everyone in a band actually played an instrument!!!
