Jam out to 80's music! Post some music and let's talk about it.


Rules

  1. All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
  2. Be constructive and don't gatekeep. People have different tastes in music; deal with it.
  3. If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL and not some random Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write those to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
  4. Submissions must be from the 80s (1980 - 1989) based on either recorded or release date. e.g. if it was recorded in 1989 but released in 1990, we're not going to split hairs over that; post away. Covers made in the 80s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.

Posting Guidelines / Suggestions

  1. The preferred title format is Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
  2. If a song has a particular meaning or evokes a pleasant memory for you, feel free to share your story with it.

If you have other suggestions that would help grow the community and/or foster discussion, please feel free to share.

Hey folks, I am diving into Lemmy and I want to contribute one of my favorite songs to this 80s music group! Every Little Step by Bobby Brown!

There is something about this style of live pop RnB music that I find really fun! The dancing is cool and real vocals (even though he's out of breath a lot).

Bobby Brown had a lot of hardship in his life, and I think just for his talent alone he deserves recognition. Thankfully he's still with us today!

I played a dumb little game on one of those "1001 games" CDs that were popular in the early 90s called Quattra command. It had the guitar riff from this song in it. Many, many years later, one of my friends had this song on his Playlist and it was an instant blast of nostalgia.

I used to busk on the street and this one was on the playlist.

This is one of those late 80s songs I always incorrectly associate with the 90s.

Fun Fact: The title and inspiration for this song is that both Aerosmith and Motley Crue were at a bar and, from behind, Steven Tyler mistook Motley Crue's singer, Vince Neil, as a woman.
