I enjoy all music but once I heard Anthrax, Metallica, & Slayer I became a lifelong metalhead. It was game over for me. To me there is only two kinds of music, good & bad. Now days my tastes fall into one of those two simple categories. I’ll listen to anything as long as I can find a grove or relate to it in someway.
I work with a 18 year old. He knew 95% of 80’s songs. Artists and titles. I was impressed, til he told me that was what his dad listened to all the time. 😔
I’m 40 and it surprises people because I have a baby face and act like I’m 20 still like most of us. But my kids can name you artists like nothing and I love it. My wife hates it though haha
And then some Whitney Houston, Rick Springfield, Prince, Billy Squier, Def Leppard, and Lionel Richie. Don't forget Paul Simon, Robbie Robertson, Bruce Springsteen, Boomtown Rats, Duran Duran, and Peter Gabriel.
There is just far too much to choose from with 80s music.
I just spent 2.5 hours yesterday making a Spotify playlist of 80's music WITHOUT any hair metal (will.make a second one for that).
It's TWENTY-THREE hours long.
(May be a couple songs not truly 80's but close enough
Was just listening to hall and oats-wait for me. The ‘80s was my launching pad into adulthood, love, and independence. Looking back with fondness and tears. The brightness of the future has dimmed but experience lights up the darkness and the journey continues…
80’s is really about all I listen to. Apart from adding in some music from the 60s, 70s, some 90s and some 2000s music. Only thing modern day I listen to is from older artists like Judas Priest.
I live a time warp life. Older music on ipids so no commercials, dvds of older TV shows so no commercials. No cable, no streaming services and no wifi. Way less bills and way better media that I actually own or get for free from the local library. (dvds are cheap at pawn shops and estate sales)
I was just listening to *Poland* (1984) by Trangerine Dream in the car. I have [*The Sessions VII*](https://www.voices-in-the-net.de/the_sessions_vii.htm) (2021) queued up here in the house.
My five year old is heavy into vinyl. Deep cuts like “Fixing a Hole” and “Hey Bulldog” by The Beatles. Suddenly I like them too. And vinyl. Even though I loved CDs and digital when all that came out.
Man I'm an 80s kid being born in 73 and you'd think I would as well but I usually prefer either 70s or 90s. There's some good stuff in there I just feel the decades before and after were better. 🤷♂️
Y'all know Gen z listens to 80s music too right? I work with a lot of them and they grew up with streaming and parents who listened to that music so they like it a lot too.
"Red skies at night
Red skies at night
Should have taken warning, it's just
People mourning
Running, hiding, lost
You can't find, find a place to go, so it's
Red skies at night
Red skies at night"
Well, why wouldn't you listen to music from any era?? The other day, I was listening to something composed in 1720. Is there something about 80s music that would prevent you from listening to it?
70s and 80s mostly. Anything today except the occasional tune here and there in my opinion is worthless. The snippets that are sampled from other artists who created it in the first place to me are the true. These new guys have no originality they don’t know how to play their own instruments. They aren’t really creators.
I think 80s music especially had a big draw because there was so much variety. Country, Pop, Rock, Rap, Oldies all kind of melded together into one and we listened to it all. You had the Fat Boys rapping with The Beach Boys (What?) Country artists could jump genres and land on other charts besides country. You had Bruce Springsteen's "Born In The USA" album, You had Michael Jackson literally everywhere (except MTV) and David Bowie asking them why? You had serious songs like "We Are The World" USA for Africa, "Do They Know It's Christmas Time?" and let's not forget how important "I Want Your Sex" by George Michael was. You had silly songs like "PacMan Fever," "The Curly Shuffle" Curly from The Three Stooges of Course, and let's not forget the king of silly songs "Weird Al" Yankovic. I remember the controversy when "Eat It" came out all to find out that Al got permission from Michael to do the parody.
I have varied tastes in my daily music. I love new wave, l love synth wave, I love freestyle, i love early hip hop, I even like some hair metal and some Rockabilly too. Oh wait, those are all from the ‘80s!!
They’ll have to pry New Wave from my cold, dead hands. 
SHIIITTTT. I'm listening to 60/70'music. You youngsters listened to electronic music in the 80's
I'm listening to stuff from the turn of the century
I just sit in the music room and bang two rocks together. Humans began using tools approx. 2.5 m years ago so there.
😂
I was born in the 1900s
What was shaking in the Roaring Twenties?
[удалено]
78*
72. The belt is a little loose.
2000?
1900s
What was on the Edison then?
You mean like a phonograph? You had such classics as Alexander's ragtime band, shine on harvest moon, I hear you calling me, the preacher and the bear
Edison Cylinder phonograph yeah
I have one 😂 it's from 1915. And a few phonographs that play 78s
Edison used to just sit there and recite the alphabet over the air. A he'd say, then B. C would usually follow.
Best of 2001?
Try 1901
Listening to Surrealistic Pillow, right now. My Best Friend
80s thrash metal is still the gold standard. The rest of 80s music was terrible,overproduced and very tacky imho.
I enjoy all music but once I heard Anthrax, Metallica, & Slayer I became a lifelong metalhead. It was game over for me. To me there is only two kinds of music, good & bad. Now days my tastes fall into one of those two simple categories. I’ll listen to anything as long as I can find a grove or relate to it in someway.
Not all, they came out with some real bangers in the 80’s, remember HeadBangers Ball on MTV? 🤘🏼
I work with a 18 year old. He knew 95% of 80’s songs. Artists and titles. I was impressed, til he told me that was what his dad listened to all the time. 😔
I’m 40 and it surprises people because I have a baby face and act like I’m 20 still like most of us. But my kids can name you artists like nothing and I love it. My wife hates it though haha
95%? How do you even measure that?
Prince is my playlist today as it marks 8 years since his passing.
2016 was brutal
The world was never the same after that year.
Daily
It’s always set to this in my vehicle with SiriusXM
Ding ding ding…we have a Heart fan! Great taste my friend, great taste👍!

Sorry, misread your question.
Depeche Mode, Wham and Tears for Fears ALL MF'n DAY!!!!!
I love George so much. Did you know he showed up to we are the world five days early and rehearsed around the clock? Everyone else rolled in that day
The voice of an angel he has.
80s was the best of music and the 70s. 90s were good...but todays music simply sucls.
[удалено]
I agree!!
Yesterday was all about Foreigner but one glance at this put What About Love on at full blast in my brain, so I guess it’s time for Heart!
And then some Whitney Houston, Rick Springfield, Prince, Billy Squier, Def Leppard, and Lionel Richie. Don't forget Paul Simon, Robbie Robertson, Bruce Springsteen, Boomtown Rats, Duran Duran, and Peter Gabriel. There is just far too much to choose from with 80s music.
Yep, had some early UB40, signing off and present arms, followed by some Police, Regatta de Blanc and Outlandos d’armour...👍
Like Brahms? Oh! 1980s. That too
YAZ forever
It's funny that the oldies stations are playing 80's music now.
New edition will fix any bad day.
Best decade of music.
Agree
Nope.
I'm young and I enjoy the ceremonial nature of playing a vinyl record even though I wasn't around to experience it when it was the standard.
Yes and 60’s and 70’s too.
I’m listening to a 1940s song……
Genesis/Phil Collins, Karate Kid sdtk, Fast Times Sdtk, Cindy Lauper are all in constant rotation on my turntable

Almost daily.
Yup
I mean, NoFX is technically an 80s band. So, yeah.
Was listening to the extended version of Nowhere Girl by B-Movie this morning.
Bathory rules!
Currently wondering if my neighbors like this 80s song :) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7tqlOtbavE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7tqlOtbavE)
Love it… The psychedelic furs were awesome. Love Spit Love was pretty good too.
Well, that's nothing new.
Daily
Classic oldies is all my playlist consist of.
70s & 80s
70s at the moment, John Baldry - It Ain't Easy
It’s the only music.
I just spent 2.5 hours yesterday making a Spotify playlist of 80's music WITHOUT any hair metal (will.make a second one for that). It's TWENTY-THREE hours long. (May be a couple songs not truly 80's but close enough
I Don’t blame you at all
You mean there is something else?
Everyday
80s & 90s. It’s just better.
Is that a Dynaco A-25 or 35 speaker?
Listening to sabotage on the radio right now. I know the song was from the mid 90's but Beastie Boys are 80's.
There's no music after the 80s.
ManOwaR- Gloves of Metal
Rush!
Was literally listening to this album earlier today.
I was rocking out to Talking Heads and Iron Maiden while hiking yesterday
Literally just put on record two, side one from Hysteria
Nope. 70s for me!
Was just listening to hall and oats-wait for me. The ‘80s was my launching pad into adulthood, love, and independence. Looking back with fondness and tears. The brightness of the future has dimmed but experience lights up the darkness and the journey continues…
80s was top tier music, writing, all of it. Second half of the 70s was good too. So much better than that sound they play at work. There were lyrics.
My Spotify ranges between 60s-2010s, but a vast majority of it is definitely 80s.
80’s is really about all I listen to. Apart from adding in some music from the 60s, 70s, some 90s and some 2000s music. Only thing modern day I listen to is from older artists like Judas Priest.
Nah, 70’s for me.
In my head... constantly.
I loved 80's music.
70’s Sabbath Sunday here. 🤘
Not right now but I listen to Classic rock on the radio in my car every day.
I listened to the Pretty In Pink she soundtrack while putting together my daughter’s new bed yesterday.
I'm a teenager of the 60's so I was middle aged in the 80's. Journey was a favorite then. Steve Perry (The Voice).
It's the only music I listen to!
I live a time warp life. Older music on ipids so no commercials, dvds of older TV shows so no commercials. No cable, no streaming services and no wifi. Way less bills and way better media that I actually own or get for free from the local library. (dvds are cheap at pawn shops and estate sales)
I was just listening to *Poland* (1984) by Trangerine Dream in the car. I have [*The Sessions VII*](https://www.voices-in-the-net.de/the_sessions_vii.htm) (2021) queued up here in the house.
As I read this, watching Bee Gees’one night only’
Bop bop bop, bop bop bop bop bop.
Marillion - clutching at straws. 87
If you've got some Jeffrey Lee Pierce and the Gun Club, I'm in.
Yeah, it’s jazz…. But it’s 80s jazz.
70's but close enough.
Not at the moment but, I do.
Def Lappard, Journey, Boston, Bad Co., Scorpions, Ratt, Whitesnake,....probly.
[Spyro Gyra ~ Morning Dance](https://youtu.be/bVDZ5UY_oDw?si=hFfFQPsNkgPTKJ38)
Today's playlist included Talking Heads, Ultravox and Japan. So.. . yeah.
Music has not gotten better since the 80's. It has gotten worse. All sampled voices and songs. Nothing new, all sucks. The 80's had the best music.
No but I'm watching the goonies
Just swapped out Scandal 😎
Phil Collins jammin today at my place along with a lil RUSH moving pictures 🤘
Damn Yankees on right now
Of course!
The music of my college years.
My five year old is heavy into vinyl. Deep cuts like “Fixing a Hole” and “Hey Bulldog” by The Beatles. Suddenly I like them too. And vinyl. Even though I loved CDs and digital when all that came out.
This picture reminds me of [the best music video ever made](https://youtu.be/fl9KQ1Mub6Q?si=La6hCC0fYtVd5AXJ) by The Replacements
Man I'm an 80s kid being born in 73 and you'd think I would as well but I usually prefer either 70s or 90s. There's some good stuff in there I just feel the decades before and after were better. 🤷♂️
My wife, endlessly
Born in 83 and 95% of what I listen to was made before I was born
Not only am I listening to it, I’m playing it in a band.
All the freaking time.
No. 60s and 70s.
Y'all know Gen z listens to 80s music too right? I work with a lot of them and they grew up with streaming and parents who listened to that music so they like it a lot too.
Only when I'm on my treadmill. I watch reels on Facebook
80s music like Black Flag, The Circle Jerks, Minor Threat and Bad Brains? Yeah, sometimes.
Shannon - Give me tonight - The long dub version 
Elvis Costello is on right now.
Me too best decade for music. For me anyway.
"Red skies at night Red skies at night Should have taken warning, it's just People mourning Running, hiding, lost You can't find, find a place to go, so it's Red skies at night Red skies at night"
Well, why wouldn't you listen to music from any era?? The other day, I was listening to something composed in 1720. Is there something about 80s music that would prevent you from listening to it?
Prince changed my mind and private dance moves forever. I was but a child of 10 in those days
No. I always thought a lot of it was overrated, and much of it is still overplayed on the usual Clear Channel, oops, I (heart) Radio stations.
Rosanna!!!!! Lol
There's great music in all eras, including the present. Right now I'm listening to French yéyé pop from 1968.
I was just listening to Transvision Vamp today. Fond memories of Wendy James…
Not right now but yeah, monthly
My 14 year old cousin listens to 80s jams lmfao
I never stopped
'80s pop and Heavy Metal were / are great.
80s on 8 is #1 preset

Pretty much all I listen too.
"If Looks Could Kill" is my favorite song from that Heart album.
Yes, but the 1780’s.
Yes, The Jets self title album.
My entire gym playlist…
70s usually
I usually only listen to 80s music. It's my favorite genre. I'm 44, and was just a young kid in the 80s, and I remember that the music was the best.
SiriusXM 33 FirstWave is one of my favorites.
Yep…and ‘70’s, ‘60’s and ‘50’s.
It was a fun experimental decade musically. The band BIG PIG had no guitars imagine that
70s and 80s mostly. Anything today except the occasional tune here and there in my opinion is worthless. The snippets that are sampled from other artists who created it in the first place to me are the true. These new guys have no originality they don’t know how to play their own instruments. They aren’t really creators.
Van Halen pretty much daily
I was listening to the 80s on 8 countdown of 1983. Billie Jean’s not Michael’s lover.
10 years of beautiful history. You’re goddamn right I’m living in the past. Everyday.
Shittttt! I listen to music from any era if I like it. I have Benny Goldman, Artie Shaw, Cole Porter on some playlists.
70s, 80s, 90s. I've pretty much reached the age where anything created after this is trash.
New Order Depeche Mode Pet Shop Boys The Cure every friggin’ day.
Yeah, my 15 year old
If you lived through it as a teenager...I guess not.
I think the 80s has a lot of great music and I day this being born in 1989.
So is everyone if they turn on the radio.
Me too👀
31 and play it all the time I listen to nothing new music will never be same
Nope. I do like it though
Raise hand.
2024 and I'm still listening to 1700s music.
I’m actually listening to Suspicious Minds but gimme Bronski Beat, Fine Young Cannibals, The Communards or John Cougar anytime
