Jam out to 80's music! Post some music and let's talk about it.


Rules

  1. All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
  2. Be constructive and don't gatekeep. People have different tastes in music; deal with it.
  3. If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL and not some random Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write those to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
  4. Submissions must be from the 80s (1980 - 1989) based on either recorded or release date. e.g. if it was recorded in 1989 but released in 1990, we're not going to split hairs over that; post away. Covers made in the 80s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.

Posting Guidelines / Suggestions

  1. The preferred title format is Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
  2. If a song has a particular meaning or evokes a pleasant memory for you, feel free to share your story with it.

If you have other suggestions that would help grow the community and/or foster discussion, please feel free to share.

Expecting Huey Lewis cover. Now am sad.

Clearly talented and hard-working, just not my schtick.

Yes, she was a terrific singer. She even looks gorgeous in this performance too. No autotune, of course.

In the UK we had three songs in the top ten in 1985 all called "The Power of Love", all different.

  • This one by Jennifer Rush
  • Huey Lewis & The News song from Back to the Future
  • Frankie Goes To Hollywood's power ballad, now a UK Christmas classic

All of them completely awesome in their own ways.

We could say that Love, in fact, has quite a lot of power.
