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.

I had the VHS of The Ultimate Ozzy back in highschool and I wore that tape out.

Also, Strung Out's cover of it fucking rules.

I turned 13 in ‘83 and I wanted this for my birthday. Mom went to Turtles Records and Tapes and told the guy at the counter “I’m looking for Beat the Dog or something like that by some Osbourne guy.” Dude reached under the counter and produced the correct cassette. I really hope that guy still tells that story to his friends.

Beat the Dog

Perfect name for a Spinal Tap album!
