Your 1980s music guilty pleasure

[stargazr]

Madonna
The True Blue album is very, very good.

She had a string of very good albums in the early nineties as well, IMO.

 

[NetGuySC]

Owner of a lonely heart - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcSLb2phjDk

I remember the opening of this song playing during the Sparkomatic car stereo speak commercials.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Anything by Roxette?

 

[PingSpike]

It was released in 1979 and I don't care what people think its probably my favorite song of all-time. I know it was popular in the Studio 54 era, but still

I love the 80's!!! There was a radio station here in Denver called The Peak that played 80's back in '03. One of the DJs was Nina Blackwood!

Here's some of mine:

Guilty! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pERrVMbsCfg
I loved this song then & still love the rhythm. For whatever reason, it also got me into listening to a little bit more jazz.

Always liked that, and I wonder if it relates to this in any way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdJgwf-_HGY

This is it:

YES. Never owned it until the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack, but it's easily my fave track on it. It also has a few other '80s gems, like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HI_xFQWiYU

Just thought I'd also throw this out there:

and the best parody of an 80s video ever.

[John Connor]

Got a couple more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q6nKP10j4s

[Ichinisan]

Not sure if it's guilty or not, but I always loved this one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ7NVjZ-Eyg














and yeah, Vice City was my favorite GTA. heh

The comments make me sad. Everyone only relates it to the Vice City game and some even talk about nostalgia...for the game...then one GTA fan says:

thumbs up if you had to look-up "nostalgia."

Kids.

 

[Miramonti]

The Sugarcubes (guilt-free)

and previously mentioned, Echo and The Bunnyman - Lips Like Sugar

 

[BUTCH1]

Great song, IMO, and one of the coolest videos of all time.

X2, when that came out everyone was like HTF did they do that?. Anyway my guilty nomination is "The Motels" with Martha Stewart, incredible looks and more incredible voice, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaPTELylZ1s

lol The song, and VC soundtrack in general, was why I liked that game the best of the series. I mean when you realize that a game is pretty much the same no matter how many times they remake and repaint it, the music becomes one of the best reasons to play it...or worst. heh

[BurnItDwn]

Most of the stuff from the 80s that I love are not ""guilty pleasures" because they simply are truly good. (Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Slayer, Death, Carcass, Destruction, Sodom, Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica.)

My "guilty pleasure" from the 80s, is without a doubt, Manowar. As they are both awesome, and also the cheesiest metal band in the history of cheesy bands.

 

[Childs]

Never bought a Smiths album, but always liked How soon is Now--

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrvRlI4hlBE

hehe The theme song from Charmed!

 

[pmv]

lmfao

So what was it (comes up as 'unavailable' for me).

Wasn't this, I assume?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQamw4xxxHY

or this?

No. It was the literal version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Hilarious. Comes up as "unavailable" for me now too but it worked earlier today.

 

[blankslate]

Pat Benatar - Love is a Battlefield (actually, this one isn't even close to guilty ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0EysM1iNMk

Every radio station that plays Pat Benatar as part of the 70/80s rotation always seems to forget about her song Shadows of the Night. It's almost criminal.

a bit of Trivia. Judge Reinhold and Bill Paxton had very brief appearances in the video for this song.

 

[CrackRabbit]

It has something to do with how NFS4 quoted my post and the capital letters in Youtube video IDs, if you go back to my original post it still works from there.
Or heck I'll just post it again here, it is that good.

THis is awesome. You can search for other literal "narration" videos by typing the name of the song with literal as part of the search as well. but this one is one of the best.

oops, i still listen to this stuff and i dont feel guilty about it.

Your link says this is '90s.

Oh yeah. It's the forums all-caps filter. If your post was all caps, it forces all lower case including the quote. This particular forum has an exception for "FTFY" but not LMFAO or whatever he said.

It's quite a bit different than most "literal videos." Most of them make a literal video for the abstract lyrics. This one recreates the audio with the same level of professionalism as original but changes lyrics to match the already confusingly abstract official video.

Ah. Good suggestion.

Some of those literal videos are awesome - mainly the ones done by people who can actually sing!

The Aha one and the Tears for fears Head Over Heels one, and the Billy Idol white wedding would all fit the theme. Radiohead one is hilarious but the wrong decade though!

So... why posting in this thread?

Because as others have said 'who the hell thinks 1980's music is a guilty pleasure??'
