@@annother3350 I remember Video killed the Radio Star but this was a much larger hit (at least in the US where the Buggles barely cracked the Top 40.) Looking at the timeline Gary Human released Cars in August 1979 and VKRTS was released in September. I would still argue that this song was the most influential but it is something that can be debated. I was born in 1966 so I was a young teen during this period.

The 80s had intense and often very political lyrical content that’s masked by the super up-beat music with whirling 80s synths, jangling guitars, intense drum beats and randomly-placed special effects. It’s great to see the music of my youth through your eyes. Thank you. It makes me smile with every video I watch.

A huge song at the time that their singer, Phil Oakey, thought was not a good song. Well, it put them on the map in a significant way. They may not be making the hits today, but they still tour.

This is exactly the type of music that makes many serious people look down their nose at the 80's music scene. Part of that is that is was almost impossible to top the 70's; a magical musical decade. But looking back at this pop rock decade it's not too bad! In fact, it's a lot of fun! Of course there was some serious rock in the Eighties too but this is primarily what it's remembered for. Glad you can put this stuff out there for a new generation to see!

You're great, man. On behalf of everyone who was in high school or college when this was out in the early 80's, it's awesome to see you really enjoying the music that we've all loved for almost 40 years. It was REALLY exciting when all of this stuff was brand new, and it still holds up today.

If I recall...the two girls in the band had to get special permission to get out of school so to appear on the tv music show "Top Of The Pops" as they were only 15 at the time.
