Every Number One Of The Eighties. **************** UK ***************** Watch Part 2. I have done a sixties and a seventies version, so check them out if you enjoyed this out :)
Appreciate this great compilation. WAs living in San Francisco going to the New Wave clubs where alot of these songs were played. Thanks for the memories...
Technically, the first Number One of the 1980s was Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall Part 2", which held on to the Number One slot for the first two weeks of 1980.
I'm a big fan of UK music and knew all these songs. This was a diverse group of music which never would happen in the US. What a great loss that John Lennon is gone. The best Beatle of them all. From ABBA, Blondie, The Jam, Shakin' Stevens, Buck Fizz, Soft Cell, Duran, to Spandau, love them all.
The best decade for music ever, top tunes with lyrics that actually meant something. I still listen to 80s stuff on a daily basis. Simpler times and a great blast from the past.
true dat!!! i love reminiscing it makes all the worries of today melt away and brings back the carefree times of being a young teen in the 80's and rollerskating outdoors!!!
I was born in '73 and was too young to go to gigs in the early '80's but have in the last couple of years, seen both The Specials and The Cult live!! Adam Ant and Madness are next on my list!! ;-)
So I search find me every number one of the 1980's and found this gem. Happy times indeed and there's a part 2 to follow. Love it. Enjoy. Search every number 2 as well
Superb Thanks for bring back the vivid memories. I can remember everyone of these fantastic songs. Without doubt the 80s were the best time and more sane times. Thanks Respect
I agree the 60s music is the best that's why a lot of them were remade in the 80s I can't see many songs from the noughties getting remade in 20 years time can you
for those of usof a certain vintage,the best time of the night,the slow set I have often wondered how kids nowadays manage to meet each other in clubs.
I am *immensely* happy to discover that those of us here in the US dodged the bullet with Shakin' Stevens. I think we filled in the gaps with extra Police,
It didn't really, Most of the records ultravox sold were up against john Lennon and had ran out of steam by the time joe dolche put his out. Bad timing all round against John Lennon ,Imagine; Phil Collins in the air tonight, then John Lennon ,woman
@@Byronpat Ew, Bon Jovi were absolute SHIT!!!! And I come from the U.S.! Don't you dare go disrespecting Ultravox, either, because they were really fucking amazing, both the version led by John Foxx AND the one led by Midge Ure, and "Vienna" is a goddamned classic. "Livin' on a Prayer" is one of the most overrated, overplayed pieces of crap from the '80s and if I have to hear that shit one more time, I'll strangle someone.
Early teens is when most of really experience music first, and at this age our most powerful emotions are also born, emotion and music such a profound human experience, and I feel so lucky that I was going through this in the 80s, for music seems to be the hearts amplifier, and the 80s was so rich with authenticity and originality. I feel as if the young of today are being cheated with the sterile mass produced crap that comes from the Simon Cowls of the world,
Haha there's a saying in germany (maybe in other languages too): "Wer sich an die 80er erinnert, hat sie nicht erlebt!" "Anyone who remembers the 80s has not experienced them!"

Lennon4080, it's been crap for more than 20 years, the music has been going down hill since 1990. 20 years ago was 1998 and you had the Spice girls, Peter Andre, Hanson with their annoying do wop song, so yes, unless you like those the music really has been going down hill much more than 20 years !!
Andrew Dexter It hasn't been crap for more than 20 years. The general consensus amongst most people is that it's been going downhill since around the turn of the millennium. Brit-pop, which unofficially ended in 1997 (to coincide with Oasis's 3rd album) produced MANY great bands (and countless great songs) - just to name a few: Blur, Pulp, Radiohead, Suede, The Manic Street Preachers, Supergrass, Primal Scream, Cast, The Boo Bradley's, The Verve and if course, Oasis.
Soft Cell regretted recording another cover (The Supremes "Where did our love go") as its B side as although the single sold millions,and stayed the longest in the USA charts (until ovetrtaken by Everything But The Girl's Missing) Royalties to the songwriters won over!
Brilliant, just a shame u-tube doesnt allow for video link so you could just play the full versions of every song in cronological order! That would just be on my comp all day long :o)
I love putting this on what good memories the memories of when you lived at home and you had money in the bank and you had no worries but you thought you had worries lol But the real worries of bills say were just a few years away But at the time you didn't know that and when your parents were trying to tell you , you took no notice of them you knew everything lol Now I sound like my parents because I'm telling my kids the same
