Phil Collins is a legend in the music business and Tina Turner is very much alive. Phillip Bailey is one of the lead singers for Earth Wind and Fire. His falsetto is legendary. Check out In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins!
Your missing out on a huge community of Madonna reaction subscribers not to mention some great songs and videos. La Isla Bonita, Like a Prayer, Papa Don’t Preach, Crazy for You, Into the Groove, Like a Virgin & Express Yourself were the ones featured here and a great start. You might know Billy Ocean from the song Caribbean Queen which was one of the bigger hits if I remember correctly. You knew a lot though.
Phil Collins is a icon. OMG he dominated the 80s. He was the drummer of the 70s group Genesis, then became the lead when Peter Gabriel left. Then he went solo and racked up so many hits. P.S. Tina Turner is not dead. She retired.
So many Madonna hits to listen to. She’s a very versatile artist and there’s virtually no genre she hasn’t covered. Like a Prayer, Vogue, Justify My Love, Erotica, Secret, Human Nature, Frozen, Ray of Light, Music, Don’t Tell Me, Hung Up, 4 Minutes, and that’s just a start. 40 year long career there’s bound to be something you enjoy.
"In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins is a must reaction. The live video version is the best it not only shows off his vocals but his great Drum skills. He was a member of the band Genesis before going solo.
Shine, what a great reaction! Seriously, you knew like 90% of these songs too. The 80s were great because there was not only passion in the music, but a huge variety of musical styles. Yes, you should react to John Lennon (and Paul McCartney). But unlike the Beastie Boys, everything related to them (or the Beatles in general) is very much copyright claimed. Madonna owned the 80s. Yes, you probably should look more into Phil Collins. You'll hear more Abba music from the 70s than in the 80s (same with the Steve Miller band). This was great, and I'm glad you seemed to enjoy it!
Love you going thru this stuff..I grew up in late 70s/early 80s..graduated 1985..rock and roll hit its stride in 1982. In 1983, if I put on WLS-FM 94.7 in Chicago, you literally could not hear a bad song. It was an amazing time. Summer of 1983 between WLS and B-96 and the Mighty Met 95.5, you had great music 24 hours a day all summer. All of our parties we just had to have a radio! No need for records/cassettes really. I can remember being so drunk in a corn field party during "Jack & Diane" that I puked on someone's car. lmao. OMG, we were rebels with a cause..took no sh1t from anyone including teachers, and they were rough on us. Some parents too. But we used that to take on the world and conquer it in our 20s.
The 60s-80s were THE eras for music. The fore-runners for the music, artists and changes which have us the music we enjoy today. I was lucky enough to grow in a house with varied tastes, from Boney M to Michael J to Tom Jones. Indubitably the 3 decades which will never be topped, in my opinion.
I vividly remember fall 1984. I was in preschool on a field trip, sitting in the back of a minivan and Tina Turner was on the radio followed by Stevie wonder and I was like please don't change the channel or turn this off! I remember the other parents commenting on the minivan because it was brand new and no one had seen one before. Whenever I hear those two songs it takes me right back.
I’m wondering what chart they are using. Is it the British chart or maybe a US/UK mismatch because there are a handful of songs on here I’ve never heard of (I assume U.K. hits). I went from age 8-18 in this decade and I feel like if any song dominated an entire month I would have known it. (Oh well, just wondering! lol)
i'm surprised no one here has mentioned that these are the top 80s songs IN THE UNITED KINGDOM (as in England or Britain), NOT in the US. That's why some of the songs on here you don't recognize. Some of the songs NEVER got any airplay in the US (like April 1981 min 5:12 or the song right after at 5:38 by Bucks Fizz, whoever they are, or April 82 min 7:56) ) some were minor hits only (like the John Lennon songs early on, or Stars on 45).
Bucks Fizz won the Eurovision Song Contest (for the UK) with that song ("Making Your Mind Up") in 1981. It was massive at the time (again, in the UK)...and was famous for the bit where the women rip off their skirts and have really short skirts underneath 😆
You’ve been sleeping on madonna. Best selling recording female of all time. Highest grossing solo touring artist. Lots of amazing songs, videos and performances.
"Say, Say, Say"...by MJ & Paul McCartney is pretty gd song, I had a the lil 45 record of it when I was a kid! And Phil Collins is also the lead singer of band Genesis... and Tiffany was pretty big there for awhile, and Kylie Monogue, redid the older song "Locomotion" as well.... towards the end of 80's is when Madonna started getting more controversial.. and Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire" still one my fav songs! Definitely the decadexw the best music
If anything listen to the David Bowie interview with MTV, he has an issue with them not playing black artists. It's amazing he calls them out. Ok, next to Phil Collins that is a YES on should I check him out, amazing sounds with Genesis and as a solo artist. My favorite is with Phillip Baliey (from Earth Wind and Fire) Easy Lover.
You want to know how great the 80s were? There's a '2nd most popular song of the 80s' video that went up and the songs in that video are still some of the greatest hits that we still hear today.
The music in 80s,90s,2000s were so diverse and experimental!!! The melodies were great too! Artistes were hardworking n the industry was cutthroat. Amazing songs were produced.
Lambada- Jennifer Lopez “Get on the Floor” melody/chorus samples that song. Madonna was that girl in the 80s. Yes, you should check out Phil Collins..he’s a legend. He replaced Peter Gabriel (Sledgehammer) in the group Genesis.
PLEASEEE react to some Toto, they have a lot of amazing songs. "Rosanna" and "Africa" appeared on this one, great hits. You should also check out "Hold the line", "Georgy Porgy", "I'll be over you" and more. Great video :)
the beastie boys opened for madonna's "virgin tour" in the summer of 1985. they didn't have an album, a dj, or much material and they had never toured before. so they would just go out on stage, taunt the audience as a joke, throw beers at them and get booed. after 3 nights madonna's manger insisted she fire them and she refused. if interested, here's a short (but totally amazing) clip of the beastie boys on the virgin tour from rick rubin's film tougher than leather: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qxQEPyfWJ3w.html and here's madonna breaking into michael jackson's "billie jean" during her performance of "like a virgin" from the virgin tour video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KrG8okV9R3w.html
You actually did pretty well. I was in my 20's in the 80's and I didn't know them all. Never knew anyone who didn't know Phil Collins. You have to check him out.
+ShakaShine Reacts Tiffany big, that's an understatement lol. Back in the 80's alot of the young girls either wanted to be Tiffany or Debbie Gibson. We even had team Tiffany & Team Debbie LOL. I was team Debbie LOL. The 80's to me were the best.
The 80's, my years of going out to the disco's and bars for me the most wonderful time of all. The music was just beautiful with artists like Lionel richie, Tina Turner, Tears for fears, Phil Collins , George Michael, Michael Jackson and on and on... Words are enough to subscribe what a fine era this was every time i see reactions to the 80's i wish i was back in that time but that is only wishful thinking Thank you for react to this and hopefully we see more reactions to this great era. Greetings from the netherlands
I bet more Paul McCartney's songs were found here, Say Say Say it's here and Ebony and Ivory, but I thought about Tug of War, Pipes pf Peace, Press to Play and Once Upon a Long Ago...
I had to howl hearing this a year later and him saying that Tina Turner RIP...she's still alive as of 3/25/2023! Yikes. And yes, you MUST listen to more Phil Collins and the band he was in called Genesis. THE band of the 80s.
really? never heard of Phil Collins? wow! Not gonna judge..I havent heard a lotta people, but Phil was on the radio so often people got sick of him..lol..but not me. He was also with his band Genesis from 1972 thru the 2000s. Make sure to look up Genesis, especially 1976-1986
Def react to Phil Collins!!! Best of all time in my eyes! Also, Billy Ocean is awesome. React to Caribbean Queen which is one of my faves! All of these songs bring me back! ❤️
Being old now, when you look back at music and look at an artist that you remember one song from, and then you look into their other songs you will find that you know more of them than you think. Whether you have heard them on the radio, heard your friends talk about them, or just have an echo from a club, bar, or supermarket Muzac background things fall into place when you look at the artist and listen to them. I had no idea who the fuck Lynard Skynard was other than a one hit wonder at one point till I listened to his music specifically, same with Grateful Dead. They are baked into history but they just blend in if you are not aware or looking.
I'm surprised you knew so many!! Great reaction. I love the 80's! There are so many songs you can check out. For the songs you didn't know or didn't know well, I think the artists you should definitely check out are: Madonna, George Michael, and Pet Shop Boys. I also recommend you check out Eurythmics and Annie Lennox on her own. They all have huge catalogues. There were a few more songs in there that I think you'll react to but I really recommend Yazz - The Only Way Is Up. Oh, btw, Tina Turner isn't dead. (She's 82 and not too well, but still alive)
know what makes me mad is younger people saying it was racist back in the 80s and 90s and that couldnt be further from the truth. Look at the diversity of #1 songs. We didnt see color (unless we were trippin' lol) in music. We loved everyone for who they were. Music brings us together. Govt and media try to divide us. We must stay together and ignore their BS. I only classify people into 2 categories: a$$hole or non-a$$hole..you are obviously the latter. Peace!
You are correct the 80s was the best overall as far as music and TV and movies goes then I would would say the 70s, but when it comes to dance and club, and rap I would say the 90s has it handles down
Se alguém na idade dele não conhece Madonna, é porque não curte, até porque ele conhece músicas bem mais antigas, e está tudo bem. Ele não precisa ficar dizendo em todo vídeo "Oh, preciso conferir mais material da Madonna". Eu amo a maioria das músicas do vídeo e amo Madonna. Peace ❤
3:20 "The winner takes it all" by ABBA, the Greatest heartbroken song of all times 4:11 "Super Trouper" by ABBA #1 when John Lennon was murder (that is what John Lennon songs appears in 1981 charts, post morten)
I was teen in 80s and in 1981 there were songs on this list which I don't remember. This is a great channel. Best wishes to you. P.S. the music from 80s and 70s was great!
MJ didn’t just dominate in the 80’s he dominated for 4 Decades 70’s,80’s,90’s 00’s MJ was dominating from Childhood to Adulthood throughout his whole entire career MJ Is The King Of Music Forever Truly The Greatest Music Artist To Ever Live!🙇🏽♂️🙌🏽👑💖✨💯(And the controversy you speak of of MJ has been put to bed simply cause he was and will always be an Innocent Man my brotha no need to mention it tbh anymore)
MJ didn't dominate in the 2000s. He had one album that wasn't that successful and zero hit singles. Madonna was much more successful than MJ in the 2000s
@@nathanieljohnson5908 NOT AT ALL MJ's Album success and Career was dominate in the 2000's Invincible debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and in ten other countries worldwide. The album was certified double platinum in January 2002 by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and has sold over 10 million copies he had hits on the album as well your WRONG!!!!
@@Milkers777 So many albums hit number 1 in the 2000s lol. Madonna's confessions on a dance floor debuted at number 1 in 40 countries setting a Guinness world record for album hitting the most countries. So Madonna dominated more than MJ. And hung up was a bigger hit than any MJ song in the 2000s
@@Milkers777 bro stop being a fanboy, MJ dominated the 80s no daubt, but if we talk 70s, that decade was dominated by acts like led zeppelin, pink floyd, elton john,steve wonder, abba,etc...if we talk 90s, that was mariah carey, nirvana,pearl Jam, boys 2 men, celine dion, 2pac,etc... if we talk 2000s, that was eminem, britney spears, beyonce, linkin park, etc... no everything has to be about MJ you know that rigth?
@@nathanieljohnson5908 For all that, MJ sold ONE MILLION tickets in 24 hours in ONE CITY in 2009. And his 30th anniversary special had monster ratings. YRMW and Butterflies were both successful, then he and Sony had their falling out over the catalogue. He did not dominate the 2000s, though, a lot happened with him…
You, you need to study about people. It’s not because you know an artist, even famous, that everyone must know him. I certainly know singers you have never heard about and you know ones I don’t know. That’s life.
