I do be fairly buzzing off this stuff and I'm fairly sure I'm not alone, so I thought it might be cool to just link tunes here if anyone knows any good ones. Maybe it'll take off, maybe it's unnecessary. I'll start with one but don't be afraid to stick a few in a post. Nothing is too cheesy for this.
https://youtu.be/HyIVQEZqkVk The The - Out Of The Blue Into The Fire
Actually how do we do it so that the video can be played on the page, or is that possible?
Not like there's going to be niche songs posted here, so heres one that's been on in the car a lot recently ha.

Man I love those 80s lead sounds. Must get me one of those jackets as well
https://youtu.be/X_DVS_303kQ here's another beaut
That scene, though.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Who hasn't tucked their mickey between their legs for their missus after watching that? Great tune though
Propaganda - A Murder of Love
https://youtu.be/BNfrI941NJo
Lethal, I love this stuff too, going to fire in a tune here and there for it.

The only song so far I didn't know, it's great, never heard Propaganda at all I think.

I have to listen to this song once a week or I turn to stone.
Actually this too
https://youtu.be/l3VqAsMXE7o
Ridiculous song
Sure an obvious classic

I wonder how many NIN fans are going to turn up in this thread lol
Probably just meself and yourself.
I didn't know that Propaganda tune at all either. It's right up my street

Never a bad time for that one either
No 80's list should be missing this! One of my favourite bands!
https://youtu.be/cFH5JgyZK1I
Manhattan Skyline - Aha
In a very early band I played in we covered this. Amazing track and really is ideal for a heavy version. Sadly we never got to play it live. Would have been a much more interesting cover than Digging the Grave, or Bored by Deftones.
https://youtu.be/WY2r28M1TrY
Always loved this one. I think yer man's from Galway originally too:

Get ready for the victorious parp of the 80s' greatest synth trumpet intro

And I'm sure many of you know the Queensryche cover of this stalker themed classic

And obviously as a proud Deise man I have to post our own Kate Bush's most bonkers moment. Listen carefully. Whip noises and some lad going "ooh!ooh!" in the background.

I'm gonna be posting a lot in this thread. Sorry.
Great thread this. Will contribute at some point properly. I do love a bit of 80s cheese
Yeah yeah, I know "Vienna" is their masterpiece and all but this Ultravox banger is my go to
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW9ImnTL2jk
I'm quite a fan of Chris De Burghs stuff. His early 80s stuff is great. The Getaway and Man On the Line have some brilliant stuff on them.
Love this band!

Absolutely love the 80s cheese. Here's a good 12hr 80s Spotify playlist I made which is a good mix of the more famous stuff mixed with deeper cuts. You can get fairly lost in this one with a few ales!

Clearly the best 80s video that isn't Rush's "Time Stand Still".

Spotify is great for the 80's classics, my missus grabbed about 7 hours worth of 80's tunes.
Spagna!Jesus...
This one's a bit of a novelty but I love it. Lemme approved too
https://youtu.be/s05jcrJw0as
I always have to follow it with a burst of this
https://youtu.be/Xuy_jIKN7Lw
That Spagna one's brilliant. There's a bit in it, I only noticed through headphones, where she's presumably turning the lyric sheet over but you can hear it clearly. When that song was current, the first time I heard it I thought a poster was falling down (my room was plastered in Maiden posters at the time).
Good enough for Beavis and Butthead then it's good enough for me..

Had to go back and throw it on to remind myself. I think you're being fairly kind to them and I used to love Use Your Brain back in the day.
I suppose one thing about the mostly pointless covers of 80s tunes by metal bands is that it might turn some kids on to the originals so I'll give them that much at least

Tipp FM play 3 hours of 80s hits every Sunday evening from 6 til 9 and I always hear loads I don't know on it. May try take note of some of them this evening because as quick as I hear them I forget the names of them.
Here have some cheese this is pure stilton
https://youtu.be/E4VbQcvysJk
Love how the pop his of then would have things like a bit of a guitar solo thrown in there. That seems to have been replaced in the last decade by the obligatory bit with a lad rapping.
https://youtu.be/X2LTL8KgKv8
Another great tune that I don't think was on here. Unreal 80s cheese solo on the end as well can't bate it
great thread 8)
see some love for a-ha, i managed to see them in Belfast 2019 :abbath:
one of my fave by them from 88
I can't see that vid at work but I'll take a wild guess, Manhattan Skyline or Hunting High and Low? My favourite band before I made the step onto Bon Jovi and Europe, Jon vs Joey and all that bollox in Look-In. Still have my A-Ha tapes.

Absolutely ridiculous thumb on that lad.
So I've been listening to a compilation of 80s music today which has blown me away.
Can't pick a winner from it but it's 4 discs of absolute class without a single bad tune on it.
It's called Intrigue, it's curated by Steve Wilson and here's the wiki:

Not a bother. It's absolutely brilliant anyway I'm almost finished my 2nd and a half run through and the quality is just top notch. The book package is unbelievably cool as well, really giving me those old throwing on an album and reading the inlay vibes that I haven't had in so long. Let me know how you get on with it
One of my all time favourite pop songs..actually one of my favourite songs across all genre's
Thread resurrection put this in my mind. Might have put it up already but sure
Class thread - sort of ruined by having to click through to YouTube to even see what songs are being mentioned.
Anyway;
Martha & The Muffins - "Echo Beach"Modern English - "Melt With You"Pete Shelley - "Homosapien"
