Replay Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, if you need a taste of the 80s. :D
 
Continued from the Marvel Daredevil Comiquette thread...

Dire Straits - One of the first cassette tapes (remember those?) that I bought was Dire Straits Brothers in Arms. I listened to that tape countless times over and over in the summer of 85. Loved this group and their songs were so catchy.

‪Dire Straits - Money For Nothing music video (Good quality, all countries)‬‏ - YouTube
Who wants their MTV?​

‪Dire Straits - Walk Of Life [ HD Music Video ]‬‏ - YouTube
A great "feel good" song! Also love all the old 80's sports teams/uniforms/stars in the video.​

‪Dire Straits - So Far Away‬‏ - YouTube
Slower tempo tune, but still catchy.​

‪Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing‬‏ - YouTube
Not from Brothers in Arms, but another classic!​

Not the right video but one of my favorite songs from the 80's
‪In A Big Country by Big Country‬‏ - YouTube

Just played most of these in my challenges on Rock Band and man do they hold up ! They really are great ! And another reminder of why we were so lucky to have lived through that classic era !
 
I don't miss the '80s, because it is always the '80s. . .in my heart :1-1:

I do really miss the buoyant, energetic flavor to music that we really seem to lack nowadays. But seeing as how I haven't even attempted to listen to new popular music for at least 5 years, maybe I'm out of touch. . .

Completely agree, there's a whole nother sound and what's funny it's actually coming back in spurts. You see some bands bringing back the look and the even the vibe(music) sometimes. I have several CD's in the truck with nothing but 80's, it just brings it back!

You like 80's pop? Try "Natalie Portman's Shaved Head" and a group called "La Roux". Pretty awesome. And you're welcome.
 
80s were great, easily the best TV, music, cartoons, movies, toys, and more. It was great because everyone would get so into things and none of this PC garbage like we have today. Everyone just had fun! So many original ideas in the 80s too...before it was all about making $$$.

Well said! :clap
 
My daughter is 9 and can't ____ing believe the cereal we had as kids. I was showing her some 80's cereal commercials on YT.

Donkey Kong
Pac-Man
Nintendo
ghostbusters
Gremlins


I swear to god there's like a cereal for every cartoon made in the 80's just about lol.

(donkey kong was crack)

New Order, depeche mode, OMD, etc...All great groups. I remember creating my own audio tape mix and listening to them on my walkman and using the cool, state of the art "auto-reverse" feature :lol ... those were the days...

Mr. Sumner's singing voice sucks, though that certainly wasn't a huge deal in the 80s :lol
