Man, us Gen X's really had it so good. 70's rock, disco,punk,post punk, easy listening, electro, synth pop, hair bands. We had the best childhoods, teenage years and early twenties. Love this track listing
Gen Xers had the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s music. It was the 90s music we most identified with, but the late 70s and early 80s made us listen, really listen.
@@bigneiltoo Agreed. Our early adulthood getting dumped out into the 1990s sucked. Although there were a few gems, most of the music from that decade was garbage and it seems that's where our current dystopia got seeded.
Been a Duran Duran fan since then and still one today. Their longevity is due to their willingness to experiment with music and sound over the last four decades and yet producing stellar hits every single year since their first hit in 1981.
This is truly making me fell old. I play a lot of these even today. This is an era of music that was great unlike the garbage that passes for ‘music’ today.
True accept today has great music maybe not as much but you need to look a long time to find good new stuff or you listen to the same 2 songs back then everything was goodü
The sad part is, we're now burning out all these olds songs because we don't have new music to replace them. Every restaurant now plays "oldies" like this. Every grocery store. 5 years ago it hadn't sunk in yet that we ran out of new music.
Oh man...did this take me back. The fun, the movies but especially the MUSIC. Those were the songs of my youth. While some of the songs I don't recall and some of them I didn't like and still don't but many of them I did. Now that I'm 57 years old seeing this small great collection of music made me forget my present age but took me back to my late teens and early twenties. Thank you so much for taking me down the eighties memory lane, the ride was GREAT.
Me, too! A constant stream of memories, minus the opera stuff. I can think of everywhere I was when those songs were playing. Usually in a club, house party, or driving my sports car as fast as it would go.
Ya, but we thought they were complex back then. Stores were outrageously snobby, attitudes overblown, then there were the rest who didn’t care what anyone thought. And drugs, drugs, drugs and wild debauchery were everywhere. (Aren’t they still?)
Gosh 40 years this has this 51 year old feeling old 😩 . What a vast array of quality music 🎶 that has me feeling nostalgic for my pre teen days. It was good to see songs from Aussie artists on here and lastly R.I.P to those artists/ musicians featured here who have passed away 😢 ✌💕 to all music lovers around the 🌏 from 🇦🇺

That's because this generic music today has numbed their brains. My brain would be numb too if I had to listen to today's 'hits'. I think the worst 80's song is still a lot better than the number 1 songs today.
@@anakelly76512 Ever heard of music taste? Just because a genre or modern song isn’t for you doesn’t mean it numbs down people’s brains.

I DJ almost 80% of these songs 40 years. I still have their vinyl in my collection. Still have my DJ equipment too. Man....40 years ... feels like yesterday. Time passes by so damn fast.
Most of these songs are my childhood that I haven't heard in a long time these type of music bring back memories. Thank you a bunch for making this video.
What a great year of music, so diverse ! "A night to remember", "Words", "Can't take my eyes of you" and "Maneater" are on of my favourites. Thanks for the video !
Francis, I know what you mean, my eldest daughter was born 1982! I can't believe it's nearly 40 years. I remember these days, like was just a few years ago. Wish I cud go back in time.
@@sukim1100 Me too. Now we’re just “old”. Good heavens above I still FEEL, not young, but not MY grandma old. I still like a lot of current music. But every time I hear “More than this” I immediately transport. Getting older bites the big one.
I really like that you've looked around the world and across a fair range of genres for this list - and what a list it is. Thanks so much for putting a smile on my dial.
Missing from this list are Words by Missing Persons, Burning Down One Side by Robert Plant, Get Down On It by Kool & The Gang and (of course) Valley Girl by Frank Zappa. I understand that Zappa is not everyone’s cup of tea but the immense popularity of that track still shouldn’t be overlooked.
Since you mentioned Frank Zappa , He didn't agree with the M.T.V. music videos at the time. In kind of away it took away from the Artist performance. I would agree with Frank zappa their.
Get Down On It was released in November 1981. I have got a copy of that song on a 1981 compilation CD. But there were some songs from the 1982 With A Bullet compilation album that were missed. Homosapien, Dirty Creature, Almost With You, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, and Body and Soul were among them.
@Darren Miles-Morland You’re right, my mistake. I didn’t hear the song until 1982 and I remember thinking “Wow! Those guys are still around?” I thought it was all over for them when they made that TV commercial for Bull Malt Liquor LOL
you can see the move from the 70s disco to the 80s disco, and then the start of synth pop Depeche mode . Hard to believe that ABBA would park up and then come back 40 years later.
Another excellent list Random Guy. Though there was a bunch I didn't recognise, mostly from America, I was super-happy you included a few Australian songs. Very much a mixed bag of music styles 40 years ago. Pity it didn't stay that way.
Turned 9 in November, so 8, for most of the year, also. In my mind, I'm still at a skating party, with my Brownie Troop, when some of these songs come on!
Now THAT was a trip down now-foggy memory lane. Graduated high school in '82 and remember how MTV looped Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me with Science" incessantly. "Good heavens Miss Sakamoto...!" Music styles were all over the place. Still listen to Talk Talk, Scorpions, Rush, Toto, OMD, Shalamar, Flock of Seagulls. Bizarre but beautiful times.
As always Random, another masterpiece of a video tribute to a great year of music. Thank you for the effort you put into this!! 1982 was certainly a great year in music (and in agreement with some of the comments here) due to Europe’s influence and innovation in it. Some of the late 70s vibes (mainly US rock) we’re still holding on, but things were definitely changing in the music landscape!! Great memories overall and keep up the great work!!
1978-1983 the best years of music. I didn't even grow up with them but anyone who research music knows how many classics that everyone even the younger generation still love to hear were in those years.
@@ELEcomments the lines between disco and funk are super blurry but some disco is much less "funky" than others. I think this is what he had a problem with since rap music had not matured yet
Very much my decade for music. Enormous musical diversity and a sense of fun you don't hear much any more. Some of these tunes have aged better than others, but that goes with the territory.
WoW I had so many memories flashing through my mind. I have never heard quite a few of these songs, and then there’s others that I had completely forgotten about. Thank you for another great video. 👍
I still listen to music that is 50/60 years old. Loved the 60/70/80's music. After the late 90's less and less and by 2000 pretty much did not bother. These days it is 95% crap.
I’m about to be 45 years old and to this day, anytime I sing along to Open Arms, I sing the chorus as “so here I am, with broken arms”. It’s totally involuntary lol.
40 years ago ABBA stopped but they've come back. The Jam ended but they never came back. Other groups like Duran Duran and Madness never split up. How many modern tunes will be as good in 40 years time? 🎶❤️
@@Rockhound6165 Also Arcadia, but it didn't last and the only member of the original band who didn't fully return was Andy Taylor, but I wouldn't call it a real split, more like what the members of the Genesis that consisted of three, going off to do their own thing, then coming back later.
Interesting to see how in the beginning of the 80s most of the popular American acts were still pretty much stuck in formulaic traditional rock genres, contrary to was happening in Europe were artists were integrating and developing more diverse influences. Still, a memorable decade…
Listen to Oingo Boingo if you think all American acts are boring. Sadly they didn’t get too popular because Danny Elfman (yes he was the band leader before he became a film composer) got sick of touring too quickly and so stuck to doing most of his shows in Southern California.
Seriously one of the best collections of music here. Bravo 👏 I mean everything from Yaz to The Pretenders to Olivia, Toto, Taco I can't handle how awesome almost all of these are!!!
Great list random guy. I am now officially old! I have great memories of these songs from my teenage years and a vast majority are in my Spotify playlist. Many thanks for the nostalgia
Damn I remember so many of these being played on the radio back then when the radio was worth listening too,kinda odd I remember seeing a different video but a longer version of the song I ran so far away it was just over 5 minutes long,that band had some cool sound effects for the time
6:46 Poor timing, but Six Months in a Leaky Boat was banned in the UK because it sounded like it was mocking the Royal Navy during the Falklands War. It was actually about 19th Century migration from the UK to New Zealand, which would take up to 6 months with several stops.
Wow. The memories come flooding back. I saw several of these acts in concert around this time. Peter Gabriel, Madness, John Jett, Kool & The Gang, Tom Petty to name a few. This was also the last hurrah for Fleetwood Mac as Stevie Nicks went solo. And Pac-Man Fever wow. When I worked at Wendy's when this song was big it was our favorite song. We used to sing it all the time. God if I could go back and relive those days. 1982 was also the start of my senior year in high school. Graduated in '83. Best time to be alive IMO. The 80's, at least the first half of the decade, was one big party.
Who the hell cares if you’re a millennial or not? If you like this type of music, that’s fine. But whether you’re a millennial or still a fetus doesn’t matter.
Oh my! This is so me. It surely brings bittersweet memories that it is hard to tell with words. Tears 😧 Anxiety 😏 Heartfelt 😶 Blissful, most of all. These evokes awesomeness, a relieved and that 'Glad I'm alive!' thing. Never take life for granted. You still able to start now, if you will. Phew!
I can't remember why I walked into this room, but I still remember every word of every song from 40 years ago. ❤

Hi guys when I hear these songs. It takes me right back to when music was decent and the singers had alot of respect for their fans and for themselves
Was 9 years old in 1982 and man how times fly. This was when music was great, and not what is being played today.
I've got about 70% of those on my phone. Feeling friggin old. Now I can't get FOS out of my head...thanks!
I had that Toto's Africa vinyl record in the thumbnail...😂
So much New Wave here. Yes, folks, it’s been 40 years since New Wave.
Awesome compilation!
Thank you so much for the wonderful musical memories ❤️
I was 11 in 1982 and these songs still sound as great as they did 80s forever
that was cool! a time machine to the 80s ! i was 12 . where did time go ? great video !
These songs are almost as old as me! ;-) Pass the Dutchie!
Ahh I was a teenager 40 years ago ! I remember it well !
I remember when i was 17. I loved to listening the radio all the time.
I turned 40 this year as well :) it was a good year, love the music :)
Yes, 1982 was a good year music-wise and you were born into the best musical decade.
OMG, so many beautiful songs and memories!! I remember them so well... ❤
The greatest gift u could bring to this world is the gift of song.
Some of these are way older than 40 years old this year but there's some amazing ones. So many memories!!!!
Wow. The memories come flooding back. I saw several of these acts in concert around this time. Peter Gabriel, Madness, John Jett, Kool & The Gang, Tom Petty to name a few. This was also the last hurrah for Fleetwood Mac as Stevie Nicks went solo. And Pac-Man Fever wow. When I worked at Wendy's when this song was big it was our favorite song. We used to sing it all the time. God if I could go back and relive those days. 1982 was also the start of my senior year in high school. Graduated in '83. Best time to be alive IMO. The 80's, at least the first half of the decade, was one big party.
the 80s still rule.
thats coming from a millenial!
Who the hell cares if you’re a millennial or not? If you like this type of music, that’s fine. But whether you’re a millennial or still a fetus doesn’t matter.
You looked to see what came out the year you were born too?
These bring back memories of happier and care free times and when everything was more pleasant NTM this was the best era in music.
Oh my! This is so me. It surely brings bittersweet memories that it is hard to tell with words. Tears 😧 Anxiety 😏 Heartfelt 😶 Blissful, most of all. These evokes awesomeness, a relieved and that 'Glad I'm alive!' thing. Never take life for granted. You still able to start now, if you will. Phew!
Thank you for putting this video together and sharing the playlist. I was 12 in 1982 and remember most of these songs. Thanks for the memories 😊
