Me over here as a 1980 baby screaming the answers with absolute certainty and a profound sadness that I was born with ZERO musical talent and 100% musical appreciation 😂
Same. Born in 88, loved music my whole life. But can’t sing worth a flip, barely learned how to play guitar and I wouldn’t call what I do “dancing” but it is what it is.
"Any songs that I missed?" Well, as an 80s kid who has a 80s playlist just under 400 songs, the answer is Yes, yes I do! 😂 Phil Collins, Huey Lewis, Duran Duran, The Cars, Chicago, Billy Joel, Lionel Richie, Hall & Oates - just to name a few!
Nick absolutely pulling an Izzy by "playing defense" in Jason's ear 😂 I was born in 1990, so most 80s songs I learned only as retro tracks many years later. Which makes it hard to pick a favorite; can we just say "all glam rock and hair metal"? 😂 My favorite Depeche Mode song is Christmas Island... only by default, because it's the only one I know, and I only know it because it was used in the Hawkeye TV series 😂
One of my faves from the 80s was “Straight Outta Compton”. Not only for the song itself, but it single handledly started a movement..and all by this group of teens from Compton. Amazing.
Just realized that if you line up the titles of my favorite 80s songs together. You get a poem of my life... The Man in the Mirror had a little patience while getting soaked in the purple rain he heard a carless whisper because his true colors where showing.
"Let's Dance" by David Bowie was the ultimate middle finger to his previous record company - google the story if need be. It was awesome in SO many ways. :D
80's song lyrics, omg love the 80's, best decade EVER for music, let me see how many I know. The GoGo's was the only song lyrics I didn't know, I disappoint myself lol
I am ashamed that I couldn't figure out the bandname 'Depeche Mode' for nr 12 my head was like 'Lacuna Coil' but I knew that they only covered it in 2006
This video made me realize what songs were missing in my playlists. Thanks for letting me know what was missing out on and making me realize how much older I am now today lol
Love these 80s songs throwback But you know a great artist who has been forgotten from that era: Debbie Gibson. React should introduce some of her songs to the teens because she was famous during her teens, singing and writing her hits.
Born in 1996, but I got 80% of these right. Parents were huge 80s fans and especially anything that was super popular in Germany/Europe in the 80s, I know of.
I love REACT and these videos!...Would love to see the crew react to more of the deeper New Wave artists like....Boomtown Rats, Psychedelic Furs, Plimsouls....and so on. Keep up the great job.
This was really fun! I hope you guys make another edition of 80's lyrics battle between generations like this one - do you accept song requests from viewers? 😃
Omg the only one I knew right from the start was Let's Dance and they all struggled so much, while having a breeze with all the others that we're just ?????? to me :D
From “Hello I Must Be Going” the song “I Don’t Care Anymore” by Phil Collins is on par with his other hit “In The Air Tonight” as far as Phil’s immaculate drumming is concerned, if you don’t believe me listen to them back to back and take in the ambiance of it.
