Jam out to 80's music! Post some music and let's talk about it.
Rules
- All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
- Be constructive and don't gatekeep. People have different tastes in music; deal with it.
- 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.
- 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
- The preferred title format is
Artist - Song Name [YEAR] - 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.

Anyone else sing along to this song and then just give up on the high notes?
I try every time.
I fail miserably every time.
Then I burst out in laughter at myself.
I usually compensate for the fact that I cannot go higher by going louder instead.
Morten Harket himself does that nowadays. He's still an incredibly skilled singer, but his voice simply doesn't have the same range anymore. When performing this song now he usually goes down an octave for "In a day or two"
This was not true of the show I went to in July 2022. Here is a small clip as proof. I was honestly shocked at how good they were.
it reminds me of this...
