100% agree

I Believe..... I love that track on the CD. The Working Hour.... oh man Songs from the Big Chair was such a great album.

Mine was Shout!!

Instantly transported! 100%

#Facts

I second that emotion! As an old white guy that hated this music when it came out, and I was playing heavy metal guitar in high school. This music was always in the background somewhere, sometime, as I ignored and moved along. Now it just reminds me of being young, and feeling like there might be magic somewhere somehow, before cynicism took away my youthful thinking and possibilities. Watching these guys hear and see what we did so long ago,almost made me feel like I could reach out to them and my former self, and shake hands or something.

I've been playing it for my kids. We watched Real Genius and they took an interest in the soundtrack. Of course, they like 80s music better than I do... a lot of it just reminds me of puberty and I don't need that in my life.

@@oddgriffin well said 👍🏻

@@oddgriffin Have you heard their prior stuff to this? For instance their album "The Hurting" which was more rock oriented New Wave before they became commercially successful.

@@xoxxobob61 The Hurting was commercially successful in the U.K.

Funny how they show a pay phone and say nothing ever lasts forever.

I watched so many reactions to this song. Everybody loves it.How can't you not love it?

Period. I loved it so much as a teen for whatever reason (15 years ago) and I’ve recently rediscovered my love for it. It’s a weekly listen.

Driving down the Pacific coast highway, in a convertible, blasting "Everybody Wants To Rule The World"....priceless 😎

Tears for fears and this song are just timeless

UNDERRATED --> Simple Minds

Indeed!

Fun fact: they offered that to Billy Idol first and he turned it down. I think he did cover it and his voice, as you’d expect, was perfect for it from what I read.

Yasssss!!!

Yes, love this song from the movie "The Breakfast Club" one of many John Hughes movies. 😁👍

You HAVE to do SHOUT by Tears for Fears!

Shout is even better that this one.

I recommend the US version of Mothers Talk too.

Sowing the Seeds of Love is a good video too..

Facts!!

Rod Stewart, Steve Perry

Especially in the UK back then the sound was so diverse now every big UK singers sounds American

Another thing you'll notice is that they actually had a voice. Not sure of the sum of "artists" of today how many we'd keep if autotune somehow was deemed illegal and banned...

@@dimiaslan1870 This. Music was so much more interesting back then because it wasn't so cookie-cutter/over-produced.

@@dimiaslan1870 You got that right!

You are a wise young teen. The 1980’s was a time of simplicity….

at it’s always so good, in fact i now have a playlist strictly of my dads music that he always plays

i’m 15 and this is 🔥

Us "old" people keep the gems from our era with us. Check them out. There are thousands of songs from that time we wouldn't recommend to you. But the ones that stay with us, that's the ones we want you to check out :) If you don't like em, that's fine. But they are stuck with us for a reason.

Aw bless you, yes the 80's was a great time. Great music and fantastic fashion. I hope your mum and dad looked as RIDICULOUS as me back in their era!!!!

I love that song

Yes! You have enough brain cells left to remember and suggest!!!

Plus Change and Shout

They'd have to do that in 3 parts: Original, Gary Jules, Curt & Diva. No need to record and post all 3, but after Curt & Diva made their quarantine recording last spring, you cannot fully appreciate Mad World unless you've heard all 3.

Yes! Mad World!!

Yes

Duran Duran

Tears for Fears*

Don’t forget Loose Ends! Not as big as these guys but were a bomb soul RnB group

Heaven 17, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Spandau Ballet, Level 42.

Fr

Definitely

Shout is not as good as this song. Not by a long shot.

Come on!! I’m talkin’ to you!!

No problem man was born in 1999 and wish I was in the 80’s. I see a man with many cultures here. I like it. Love it brother and rock on!!!!!

Pipe down Ensley

Amen!!! I love these guys. This brings back memories growing up in the 80's

Born in 77 and I can say overall we listened to EVERYTHING!

Hey Jeff you said it very well! Everything I feel you said. I was about 18 and 1985 and I loved all the 80s music. I was never into the hard rock stoner stuff but I loved this kind of music.

My late father loved this song! ❤️❤️

I'd forgotten about that song! I love the feel of it.

Yes!!

Yes!

What have I Done to Deserve This?

I totally know what you mean

Shirley, spot on!

Yesss! It's the feeling you feel hearing this song. Next "Shout"

Very 'airy', wide sound with amazing synths creating that atmosphere of the 80s! Love this vibe and bands such as The Smiths and The Cure.

@Erica Draven Agree! Or any song from The Cure, absolutely love them!

Absolutely, a great 80s song.

How about the Style Council shout to the top, that's a banger.

I just commented that too! West End Girls reminds me of my parents. They got married in 1985 and always played 80s, specifically European 80s as they were in the US army stationed in (former) West Berlin. Even though I’m a young millennial at 25 y/o, 80s music is nostalgic to my childhood and reminds me of my parents. Plus, it’s just straight bangers. West End Girls also reminds me of high school playing GTA5 with friends and the “pop” radio in game would play West End Girls

*THIS* ⬆️⬆️⬆️

I love Crowded House. Saw them live in the 80s!👍😍

Yessssssssssss!!!!!!! Don’t Dream It’s Over. One of the best written songs. Love them!!

One of my favorites

ALWAYS TAKE THE WEATHER WITH YOU

@@hobbesthegoblin Not their best.

❤️

What a lovely memory for you.such a tragic way to die at such a young age.🙁

The best song ever 👍🏿👍🏿

My brother passed away from AIDS too. In 1994... still miss him everyday... sorry for your loss...

@@dianagerding8541 Very sorry for your loss🙏🏻...We share the same pain. I hope your memories of him are very close to your heart ❤️

YES AND WITHOUT HITTING PAUSE RUINING THE DAMN SONG!

Agreed!

And mad world

Timeless 🧐👌🏽

Right, couldn't have said it better

Hallmark of brilliant writing. All of their songs touch upon some timeless narratives of the human condition. Advice For The Young At Heart, Woman In Chains, Sowing The Seeds are all relevant then and even now.

Yes! Thats a brilliant song.

Agreed. Tears for Fears Fan, 80s fan, it's a special song and video!

Absolutely!!

That’s my favourite song of theirs! :)

YES...this. . a THOUSAND times Y-E-S.

Level 42 - Something About You

Level 42 - Children Say

Now Maria Maria is gonna be stuck in my head all day

Yes they were _everywhere_

That's because this is what a cell phone was in the year the song was released and they were very expensive and uncommon kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZtGHmJB80bnHXY0.html Update... this is apparently the year cell phones were first used in Canada and Britain.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 BONIEEEEE!!!

Exactly dude,I hated 80s music in the 80s,now I play it all the time because it brings me back to good times,teen dances in town,bar scenes, house partys. Hello from British Columbia 😎

Same here.. was hitting the metal shows back then.. would laugh at this stuff...now, it reminds me of the past and it's far better then pop nowadays in my opinion.

@@xirknight ​ @Whateva I can remember taking my old beat up acoustic guitar out of my locker, to go outside for lunch so I could get stoned with my friends, and impress them playing Diary of a madman, Fade to black, and the acoustic parts of any Iron maiden songs I knew (Revelations comes to mind). Meanwhile, cars are driving by, some were playing the newly released Master of puppets, and some were playing new wave and punk rock. I ended up making some other friends and bringing my (I wish I was Yngwie Malmsteen guitar style) to a new wave band for a while. It was just a great time to be alive, agreat time to have so many kinds of good quality thoughtful music in friendly competition. These, among many others, were the soundtrack of our lives/

Also remember guys that our generation was responsible for the brainwashing that was "disco sucks", and making ppl feel like there was something wrong with them if they listened to it. I'll take a disco song any day over what gets put out these days.

Same, but I was into Old School funk. Now the Twins have me enjoying and appreciating all genres of music. Thank you Twins!!!

Wasn't it ☺️❣️💙🙏

Take a look at their live performance at the Roskilde Festival in 2019. The same song, the same vibe, new audience. Years have passed, we are getting older, just like them, but they are still sound great. I follow them from the beginning. Love Roland and Curt. Love TFF.

I WORE OUT my INXS Live album

Please listen to INXS! NEED YOU TONIGHT!

Classic Aussie music ❤❤❤

Michael Hutchens is forever my boo. Sexiest front man that ever lived! 😍😚😍😚

Anyone see the INXS concert movie that was shown in theaters recently? It was a restored and I think it was filmed at Wembley? Unbelievable. So good! Suicide Blonde!

the new romantics were terrible at PR - took themselves way too serious - a ridiculous bunch, but fall down funny to watch today - a few tracks stand out and stand the test of time - if you can stomach the lads as ladies getup

Agreed! I feel like 70s and 80s has some of the best music.

@@cahillgreg Time after time by Cindy Lauper would fall under this right.

This song makes me want to watch an episode of Knots Landing. Some dramatic head turns and sexy strutting from females. 👅

70's rock was pretty dope!

The eighties was a good ERA but the 70s was the best! During the 1970s, 98% of the music was still being played by real instruments, full bands, and songs were being sung are people who could actually sing. You still have music groups like The Stylistics, the shi-lites The Commodores, brick, the Dazz Band, the Isley Brothers, The O'Jays, The Spinners, the Brothers Johnson, The Bar-Kays, Heatwave, need I go on? By the way, if you haven't heard of these groups, these are all excellent groups for you to sample. If you're looking for some great solo artist, I suggest Helen Reddy, Phyllis Hyman, Jeffrey Osborne as a solo artist as well as with his time with LTD Phyllis Hyman, Lou Rawls, Isaac Hayes, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, and Gino Vannelli. There's many more but I can't name them all. Start with a few of these and you'll end up finding many many more.

@@ElephantsRock19 the best!

100% the best pop culture decade of any decade. Absolutely 100%

@@denisebrock3154 Absolutely what you said! When music was the voice and the instruments, not synthesized, fake, or popular because of risque' behavior, very little clothes, and strip club dancing. I may be old, but classic music rocks!

And "Sign Your Name"

I second this request!

I third it!

Fourth!

Yes! To both!!🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️🙋🏾‍♀️

That phrase really hit me hard listening to this again. I had such a fantastic time in the 80’s! I am so grateful I was there

Nothing ever lasts Forever. We are always in transition and there are some times I really miss in my life

And it's so true.

Yea, that line hit me more than ever this past year, personal life wise. (Sigh). 😞

Im a 90s kid and my love for the 80 is getting stronger and stronger, this is such an AMAZING track ❤️

Yes to all of the above!

It’s in the opener to the new Moulin Rouge musical, totally brilliant intro to the underside of Paris.

The Disturbed cover of Shout is incredible if you haven't heard

Woman in Chains is awesome and powerful.

@@bigdrunkhunter8729 I haven't. Thanks! You just reminded me of Tears for Fear's cover of "Creep." Also very good.

Layers of joy and intensity in that tune...thanks.

So many other great ones too like Fashion, Rebel Rebel, Heroes, Fame, TVC 15, Suffragette City, Golden Years

Loved that song!

I'll second Mad World

I’ll second Head Over Heels

Hugo Rosado Totally love Head Over Heels.

I'll second all!!!

@@sandrastarling4711 And "Broken"...

Yes Katherine A. 👍

That would be a good one

OMG YES !!!!!

Jennifer Hurlburt also such a great guitar player

My favorites!!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rayKfJWFv8DMdXk.html

Head over Heels is a classic. Also love Woman in Chains

"Woman in chains "😍😍😍😍 i suggest this song to you

Baby Come Back is everything!!!

Yes! Baby Come Back is an excellent choice!

Take a look at their live performance at the Roskilde Festival in 2019. The same song, the same vibe, new audience. Years have passed, we are getting older, just like them, but they are still sound great. I follow them from the beginning. Love Roland and Curt. Love TFF.

Oingo boingo!!

Oingo Boingo!

Billy Idol’s best song

Broooo I LOVE that song

Decent shout

Eyes without a face by Billy Idol one of my favorites also Rebel Yell

Hold Me Now. A-Maze-ing!

The Motels - Only the Lonely..👋

I love them all!!! I'm so glad I was born in 1972. Grew up with some AMAZING MUSIC!!! "People are People" by Depeche Mode is another banger

@@francesmartinez2708 THAT song used to make me lose my mind

Yes! It features the amazing Oleta Adams

The vocals on Woman in Chains are so powerful.

Woman in Chains is an absolute masterpiece!

Woman in Chains is an absolute masterpiece. I got to see Oleta sing with them a few years ago. Still amazing.

I was about to suggest Woman in Chains. It moves me to this day. It's such a powerful song.

Songs From The Big Chair is one of the seminal albums of the ‘80s. Zero filler, just one masterful piece of pop after another after another. The fact that they were 24 when it was released still blows my mind when I listen to it.

Take a look at their live performance at the Roskilde Festival in 2019. The same song, the same vibe, new audience. Years have passed, we are getting older, just like them, but they are still sound great. I follow them from the beginning. Love Roland and Curt. Love TFF.

The guy on the left has done it.

And, "She Drives Me Crazy" and "Suicide Blonde"

@@RobertaS127 isn’t “She drives me crazy” from Fine Young Cannibals?

@@Haiyan25 Yes, you are absolutely correct. My mistake.

Tainted Love is a cover of an old Motown record. You should check out the original.

@@eamonivory2789 Thanks for the reminder! I was vaguely aware but I'd never actually checked it out! Awesome! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbB7mJWbnr3OmGg.html

Gloria Jones was the singer. She was from Ohio in the US, she ended up being better known in Britain/Ireland. She was in T-Rex and was in a relationship with Marc Bolan. They had a son who lives in the US, and I think he is as singer too. He certainly has the lineage.
