Favorite 70's/80's Songs and Videos

[MR Snakes]

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.

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

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!!!

Sheesh, I think it would be easier to answer what I DIDN'T like, since I like almost ALL of it.

It is also the best music to listen to while working. When I painted rooms or laid tiles, the 80's blaring, and you almost dance along while working, so much more fun that way

When I work out...the 80's are on!! And I can go for hours!!

When I just feel like letting loose, Smeagol and I have our own little 80's party, music a couple of drinks, dancing and singing along. Sometimes it ends up in a little craziness like a 3 am "80's dress up session" which resulted in this (hair would have been BIGGER if I had any hairspray left..LOL) >>>>



It has also resulted in the brilliant idea to cut my own hair, give myself bangs again (3 am, while listening to the 80's). I remember waking up next morning and thinking, OMG, did I really do this? Running to the mirror, yup, I did !!!


There is just so much good music. Nowadays can't even hold a candle. And now you have me listening to it Currently : Duran Duran, Ordinary World . Great song. And yes, Falco and Nena were cool, too.
