Yes,I Do

AaronSquid says:

There was so much variety in the 80's - punk, new romantic, pop, rap, hair metal, heavy metal, cheesy ballads... the list goes on. A great decade for music with something for everyone.

Phillyfreeze69 says:

Yes, I Michael Jackson's THRILLER album was the most successful recording of that decade. Before the Thriller album there was OFF THE WALL recorded in 1982...MTV had to take notice of his genius and universal appeal and the rest is history or HIS-STORY!

ScottiesRock says:

Yep! Just take a look at all the bands of today bringing them back.

akumar46 says:

No , I Think....

    Nice lens showcasing 80s music. As I said above, what makes 80s music so good is the sheer variety, which your list really demonstrates.

    I like Princes's When Doves Cry...very emotional and poigant song that displayed Prince's lyrical skills superbly and gave insight into the artists musical genius.
