Music of the 80s...

My list is too long! Music from the mid 70's takes me back to the time I was a little girl in Philly and here in Northern VA. The 80's was my teen years. The 90's were the decade of my rock and roll heart. There are songs that play and I am back in the 80's ! The memories are as vivid as yesterday! Music is a powerful thing.

I grew up with the 70s an 80s music also give me Abba , Bee Gees , Gorgon lightfoot an so on to most of the music of today

I enjoy 80s music too, I grew up through the mid to late 80s and hearing those songs bring me back to some of the good times in my childhood and music in the 80s seemed a lot more easy going and fun. as for what song there's to many to name just one.

I enjoy listening to the music of the 70s and 80s. These decades were very emotional times in my life. It helps so much to reconnect with these songs and the feelings and memories they create.

I too grew up with this music and it brings back so many memories of what my life used to be like. The music always reminds me of all the concerts I used to go to like AC/DC and Pink Floyd. I still have their music on tape but don't really listen to them too often because I prefer to move with the times but it is always good to take a trip down memory lane every now and then.

i am a very big fan of mastro ilayaraja he is a gem in music his songs in 80's are very lovable to hear

I love the 80's!!! :) I grew up in the 80's and the songs always bring back memories!! Some of them better than others but still memories.

I am a child of the 1970s. My parents used to play Abba and Boney M songs when I was a child to get me to sleep. I still like these songs even now!

As a child of the 80's I have so many fond memories of the music of the decade. Even now I listen to 80's music on a regular basis as I'm disenchanted with the majority of mainstream music of today. Bands and artists such as Michael Jackson, Genesis, The Police, Pat Benetar, Mr. Mister, Depeche Mode, New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Hall & Oates, The Go Go's and Cyndi Lauper, to name a few, were my favorites. Music back then was just fun. Long live the 80's! :-)

I was born in 1990- even though I wasn't alive in the 80's I kind of have a thing for 80's (and some 70's) music. I love The Smiths, The Cure, Blondie and some David Bowie- I think it may be because my mom listened to that kind of stuff a lot when I was a kid. The songs that evoke my past are the 90's fad bands- N*SYNC, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears and the Spice Girls. That music was by no means "good" but it was cheesy and fun and I have a lot of memories having to do with it.

Hi vikkitita! I can honestly relate to you here. The thing that connects me to my past is music. Like you said the details may be remote but you can still hear them in your heart.

All of you are right 80's the best era of songs there's the rock n roll and love songs which really my favorites, i did collect a lot of songs from the 80's and insert it in mt ipod so whenever I go i listen all the time. Such as Cindy lauper, Madonna, Cars,Bon Jovi, Queen and many more.

Abba, Johny hates jazz, Queen, Pet shop boys, Billy joel, Bad english, Belinda Carlisle, Billy Idol, Blondie, Pink Floyd, Bon Jovi, Chicago, David Bowie, Deff Leppard, GARY NUMAN...man the list is almost endless....I have here mentioned some bands and individual singers who have inspired us from the late 70's to late 80's ...each one of them are etched in my heart for their songs....even today...

i'm an 80's baby :) and i'm not sure if people will agree but compared to the music now, i prefer listening to 80's and early 90's music. they're refreshing, romantic and it just gives you this wonderful feeling while listening to it. New Wave is one of my favorites. Buttercup, Always Something There To Remind Me, etc. who wouldn't feel like dancing when listening to this? When you feel sentimental, there's Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan's Through the Fire, etc. these are the kind of music i grew up with. i do appreciate music from Frank Sinatra's era as well. i love some of his songs and Nat King Cole's. my grandparents used to listen to the "oldies" every sunday and if i felt bored listening to it before, as i listen to them over and over again, i learned to appreciate them even more. so every time i hear any songs from the singers i mentioned, it's like time will suddenly stop and my mind will travel back to when i was young and carefree. :) ah... how i miss those days.

I agree with you 100%. Although I'm middle-aged, and the songs from each decade bring back memories to me. Wouldn't it be fun to have a "back to the past" and be able to relive it knowing what we do now? I too miss the fun and friendship.
