As a 50-year-old man, I can tell the younger generations that the 80's were a fantastic decade in many ways, there was optimism, faith in an bright future and cool things around every corner....Greetz from Balkans,Europe
Once again, JAXON WAS BORN IN THE WRONG GENERATION! He knows his stuff! We accept him as a millenial! Also, we love that he is embracing his natural hair!
Limahl's name is an anagram of his real surname - Hamill. He was the singer in a group called Kajagoogoo - whose biggest hit "Too Shy" was a UK no.1 in 1982. Nick Rhodes, keyboard player with Duran Duran co-produced it. Rick Astley was huge in the UK - he started as a 'tea Boy' in a recording studio owned by Stock, Aitken and Waterman - three record producers who had the Midas Touch when recognising Pop talent.

Next: An episode featuring women rockers from the 80s! Heart, Lita Ford, Pat Benatar, Blondie, Joan Jett, Vixen, Cyndi Lauper, Tina Turner, Madonna, BonnieTyler, Berlin ... The list could go on and on!
I was impressed with the kids, until it came to blue monday. very disappointed, the only thing I can think of a lot of songs I like I only like after hearing it a few times.
I was born in 73 and that kid knew more of the lyrics than I did, but i was a metal kid in the 80s.... but I was impressed with his knowledge, I appreciate they liked the music..
I am really glad that music from my generation still rings the bell with the younger generation. I got a lot of joy watching how much they enjoyed listening to these songs. Watching this episode, I felt like a kid again! I'm 62 but 25 didn't seem to be so distant in the rear view mirror. Lol
7:16 The editor put a comment, "Probably a cassette, ya dummy," when the host said that a student brought back a Roxette CD. We absolutely had CDs in 1988. I had had a Sony Discman CD player in high school, and in 1988 as a freshman in college I bought a portable stereo (what we called a boom box) with a CD player. CDs were at least 5 or 6 years old at that point, and were certainly my preferred musical format by 1986, let alone 1988. So yeah, maybe it was a cassette, but there is nothing dumb about assuming it was a CD.
The songs from the 80s bring back so many memories even though I grew up in the 90s, but thanks to my parents I love all those songs from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s.
yeah my family heritage also reaches all way back till music from 60ies so I'm familiar with all these musical eras as well. And with music from 1950ies from old movies with Sinatra, Dean Martin, Merylin Monroe, Doris Day.... As kid I occupied my uncle's vinyls he collected while living in France, stuff like Edit Piaff and Jacques Brell...he had fantastic collection and I still love that music that nobody listens to anymore :)
Rick Astley is still awesome on social media. Feels pretty unfair to put other artist's "American hits" on here but not Roxette's "It must have been love". That goes for The Pogues as well. Edit - Also an observation: whe they hear a slow song the first thing they think about is taking out there phones, not dancing close with a person.
To me, it's technology. It gives every kid free music with little monetization to the artists. With little money being made, it's hard to sift out the highly talented and promote them, creating healthy competition to match each other. The older gen z's and youngest millennials at my work LOVE all the classic great artists from the 60;s 70's and 80's. The demand is out there, but the system doesn't monetize and supply it. ....imho
Hope you do another one. Would be cool to see them react to any of these - Nik Kershaw - "The Riddle" The Pixies - "Where Is My Mind?" Or "Monkey Gone To Heaven" Icehouse - "Great Southern Land" or "Icehouse" Ultravox - "Vienna" Nena - "99 Luftballons" or "irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann" Ozzy - "Mr. Crowley" R.E.M. or U2 or Jesus and Mary Chain or Depeche Mode or Cowboy Junkies
When the song The Look by Roxette began playing and the kids didn't know it, I immediately felt incredibly ancient lol. I was in grade school when that song was new and played everywhere!
I've barely listened to Duran Duran and I knew immediately that the first song was by them, haven't heard that song before. It's crazy how distinct their sound can be even to someone who doesn't really know their music.
Please do gothy/dark(ish) British synth from the 80's! Depeche Mode, Human League, Simple Minds, New Order, Orchestrals Manouvers in the Dark, Joy Division, Soft Cell, Talk Talk!
The Look (Roxette) Merie didn't think she could rap the lyrics, so they ended up with Per doing it, which is not typical for their songs. We miss you Marie.
The Neverending Story fir me as a child is both mesmerizing and terrifying at the same time Especially when the horse Atrax that scene was depressing and horrifying as a child.
80s videos are always full of British artists I love it! 🇬🇧😎, 8 of them were in this, and The Pogues are Irish but most of them are actually from England I think
React has a very different idea of what Deep Cut means than I do, Deep Cut usually means the less played songs on an album to me, these are mostly hits.
The video for The Pretenders song is based off a 1960s British TV spy show The Avengers. Crime fighting duo John Steed (bowler hat and Bentley) and Emma Peel (miniskirt and sports car).
Really impressed with the blonde girl's taste in music )REO Speedwagon shirt), and I freakin swaer that Jaxon is my spirit animal.... this dude was raised so so right. :)
Great selection of songs! As someone born in 1980 I wouldn’t describe them as “deep cuts” but I get that to these Gen Z’ers it might be. I was still hoping that “One Night in Bangkok” and “Just Like Heaven” and “One Vision” would make the cut…
The fact that these "kids" are reacting to songs 40 years old is slaying me, since I WAS THERE. Daggers to the heart, because as a GenXer, I thought we don't age....Thes grandchildren are killing me.
A few things here, from my memory: Roxette "The Look" - the American exchange student who went to Sweden dropped it off at his local Top 40 station in Minneapolis, not college rock. But still that's where it was first heard in America and spread throughout the country. The Pretenders "Don't Get Me Wrong" - the video is an homage to the popular '60s British TV spy series "The Avengers". New Order "Blue Monday" - the dog is a Weimeramer, the video director's dog. Bonus points for including The Pogues, Echo and PSB (known for SO MUCH MORE than "West End Girls").
That kid knew his stuff. As a wee lad of the 80s, I wish they would have played some INXS, Tears for Fears, U2, The Cure, Depeche Mode and Prince and the Revolution. Children would have become Gen X.
Deep cuts? Most (if not all) of these songs were hits. "Let's Dance" by David Bowie was and remains one of his most popular songs. "Epic" is Faith No More's most streamed song on Spotify.
I have two contenders for best 80s pop song: Madonna's Into the Groove and Mr Mister's Broken Wings. Obviously there are hundreds of honourable mentions.
I grew up in the 80’s. Of course, I’m nostalgic about the 80’s. What is funny to me is that most kids raised in later generations like the 90’s, the 2000’s and so on have nostalgia for a time they didn’t lived. I’m guessing it is their parents’s nostalgia that bled into them, like my son, my nephew and my adopted daughter, they all love the ‘80s and wished they could go time travel to that time. In my case, I would take a week long vacation to the 70’s, when I was little and my mom was young.
This was one of the best episodes you've created! Please do a 90s version of this, it would be interesting to see if the Gen Zers know more 90s deep cuts compared to this 80s one.
Oh dear. These kids want to flash lights of their mobiles, instead slow dancing with each other when listening to lady in red. Damn I remember our dance parties in high school
The Pogues were originally called Pogue Mahone - an anglicised version of the gaelic phrase "póg mo thóin" which means "Kiss my arse". They changed it after a DJ on BBC radio refused to say their name after he was told what it meant.
The producer has no clue what a deep cut is. He was born in the 80’s not a teen or young adult then experiencing these songs. They need to get the Gen x reactors to choose the music for this or me! I have music they have never heard from the 80’s and it is on vinyl!
I saw Never Ending Story in the theaters in the 2nd grade (1985) and fell in love with it immediately. My favorite movie EVER and BEST SCORE EVER!!! So glad you included Limahl for these kiddos. 😎😎

Giving New Order’s “Blue Monday” less than 9 out of 10 is outrageous.
As a 50-year-old man, I can tell the younger generations that the 80's were a fantastic decade in many ways, there was optimism, faith in an bright future and cool things around every corner....Greetz from Balkans,Europe
the same from a 49 year old in Phoenix, Arizona.
Gen x here from Phil
Once again, JAXON WAS BORN IN THE WRONG GENERATION! He knows his stuff! We accept him as a millenial! Also, we love that he is embracing his natural hair!
Have you seen the interview he did where he explained his experience with this show and his music history. Great watch
Exactly he is the wrong generation lol, I'm 49 and the first thing I listen to is the bass line and his old/young self did the same 😂
He's an honorary zillennial.
He’s a bit of a try hard sometimes.
he knows nothing about music dude
As a Gen X'er, none of these were deep cuts.
Yeah. We just called this Side A. 🤘
So true
Yeah, weren’t these on the radio every five minutes back in the day?
These were all of the popular singles from all of these bands.
Limahl's name is an anagram of his real surname - Hamill.
He was the singer in a group called Kajagoogoo - whose biggest hit "Too Shy" was a UK no.1 in 1982.
Nick Rhodes, keyboard player with Duran Duran co-produced it.
Rick Astley was huge in the UK - he started as a 'tea Boy' in a recording studio owned by Stock, Aitken and Waterman - three record producers who had the Midas Touch when recognising Pop talent.
Giving Blue Monday a 5 should be a bannable offense.
Agree, and so should liking "red red wine"
Nobody likes shit white reggae.
Duran Duran performing Notorious. Guest musician is Nile Rodgers.
Limahl singing Neverending Story. Kajagoogoo performs this too.
Roxette. RIP Marie Fredrickson 😢.
Don't Get Me Wrong. Written by Chrissie Hynde. She was married to Jim Kerr of Simple Minds.
David Bowie. Let's Dance. Produced by him and Nile Rodgers. Stevie Ray Vaughn on lead guitar. Omar Hakim on drums.
RIP Ronnie James Dio.
West End Girls. Written by the Pet Shop Boys. About girls and boys in London, UK 🇬🇧.
Growing up with Roxette ... Till this day listening to them day in and out. Danced to these as a little wee boy while standing in front of the Box TV
Next: An episode featuring women rockers from the 80s!
Heart, Lita Ford, Pat Benatar, Blondie, Joan Jett, Vixen, Cyndi Lauper, Tina Turner, Madonna, BonnieTyler, Berlin ... The list could go on and on!
Jaxon has a good taste in music. I know that he just turned 21 recently but he knows music that is way behind his age 😊
Yes Pet Shop Boys should be on any playlist claiming to be 80's. They are ICONIC! Erasure also need to be on any list you claim is 80's hits
Let's Dance.... one of the best songs to come out of my birth year!
David Bowie - Let’s Dance is not a deep cut, it was a huge hit.
THESE KIDS!!!!! GIVE "BLUE MONDAY" A F-ING "FIVE"???!!!! NO PHONES AND INTERNET FOR THEM FOR ONE MONTH!
I was impressed with the kids, until it came to blue monday. very disappointed, the only thing I can think of a lot of songs I like I only like after hearing it a few times.
Thank you! I have both this version and the orgy version on my permanent playlists
😂
Astley was SO FREAKING YOUNG to have a voice like that.
Saw him on the Mixtape tour a few years ago, his voice is even more amazing live.
Being a Gen X (1974), I grew up listening to every one of these songs. I loved it so much
I was born in 73 and that kid knew more of the lyrics than I did, but i was a metal kid in the 80s.... but I was impressed with his knowledge, I appreciate they liked the music..
The kids not being into West End Girls broke my heart! I was 13 when it came out
Pet Shop Boys are awesome!
For real! I can't believe some of them rated freakin' Lady in Red higher.
Congrats Joe. Finally some DEEP cuts. The Pouges!?! Jesus.🎉
I am really glad that music from my generation still rings the bell with the younger generation. I got a lot of joy watching how much they enjoyed listening to these songs. Watching this episode, I felt like a kid again! I'm 62 but 25 didn't seem to be so distant in the rear view mirror. Lol

So yeah, maybe it was a cassette, but there is nothing dumb about assuming it was a CD.
The fact that Paulina called Rick Astley a ginger Elvis just has me dying in laughter! 🤣🤣🤣☠☠☠

yeah my family heritage also reaches all way back till music from 60ies so I'm familiar with all these musical eras as well. And with music from 1950ies from old movies with Sinatra, Dean Martin, Merylin Monroe, Doris Day.... As kid I occupied my uncle's vinyls he collected while living in France, stuff like Edit Piaff and Jacques Brell...he had fantastic collection and I still love that music that nobody listens to anymore :)
Rick Astley is still awesome on social media.
Feels pretty unfair to put other artist's "American hits" on here but not Roxette's "It must have been love". That goes for The Pogues as well.
Edit - Also an observation: whe they hear a slow song the first thing they think about is taking out there phones, not dancing close with a person.
Jaxon sounding like Cher instead of Rick Astley is hilarious.
The Pogues wrote one of the BEST Christmas songs on the planet!!
Seriously, Limahl just has those songs that are complete earworms, like when he was still part of Kajagoogoo with their song Too Shy.
Too Shy is so good!
This was such an episode!!! Duran Duran, Roxette, Petshop boys!!!
These poor kids are so hungry for real music they're giving solid 6 songs an 8 , 9 , 10 rating. Maybe there's hope for music after all
I had most of these songs as 6s,7s and 8s,none lower than that.
To me, it's technology. It gives every kid free music with little monetization to the artists. With little money being made, it's hard to sift out the highly talented and promote them, creating healthy competition to match each other. The older gen z's and youngest millennials at my work LOVE all the classic great artists from the 60;s 70's and 80's. The demand is out there, but the system doesn't monetize and supply it. ....imho
Hope you do another one. Would be cool to see them react to any of these -
Nik Kershaw - "The Riddle"
The Pixies - "Where Is My Mind?" Or "Monkey Gone To Heaven"
Icehouse - "Great Southern Land" or "Icehouse"
Ultravox - "Vienna"
Nena - "99 Luftballons" or "irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann"
Ozzy - "Mr. Crowley"
R.E.M. or U2 or Jesus and Mary Chain or Depeche Mode or Cowboy Junkies
When the song The Look by Roxette began playing and the kids didn't know it, I immediately felt incredibly ancient lol. I was in grade school when that song was new and played everywhere!
Their breakthrough hit in the UK,reaching (I think) number 7,in late spring 1989.
Faith no more deserved better scores come on man!
🤘🏼
YES!!! That song ROCKED!!
R.I.P Ronnie James Dio Holy Diver is just a classic
One of the best to ever do it!
I've barely listened to Duran Duran and I knew immediately that the first song was by them, haven't heard that song before. It's crazy how distinct their sound can be even to someone who doesn't really know their music.
Please do gothy/dark(ish) British synth from the 80's! Depeche Mode, Human League, Simple Minds, New Order, Orchestrals Manouvers in the Dark, Joy Division, Soft Cell, Talk Talk!
Agree with the rest, but Talk Talk are pretty bad.
@@nl3064 Disagree! It's my life is pretty good! Certainly on my list, anyway! 😄
@@LA6NPA it's my life was awful, that's literally what I'm talking about.
@@nl3064 😄
@@LA6NPA yes, yes, yes to all the above 👆💕
The Look (Roxette) Merie didn't think she could rap the lyrics, so they ended up with Per doing it, which is not typical for their songs. We miss you Marie.
Also here's another fun fact David Bowie plays a role as the Goblin King in the 1986 movie called Labyrinth.
As a fan of Duran Duran, I approve of the song choice!
At the end of 1986, a radio station played a 100 most requested songs countdown. “West End Girls” was the top. 😅
I can't believe they scored Pet Shop Boys so low. It was one of the best songs from the 80s.
What do you expect from clueless kids.
Jaxon continues to make me proud with his span of music knowledge and appreciation.
The Neverending Story fir me as a child is both mesmerizing and terrifying at the same time
Especially when the horse Atrax that scene was depressing and horrifying as a child.
80s videos are always full of British artists I love it! 🇬🇧😎, 8 of them were in this, and The Pogues are Irish but most of them are actually from England I think
How do you not give Blue Monday a 10 across the board? It's the epitome of 80s. Definitely one of the best synth songs ever written
It's great,though when I first heard it I noted a similarity in the main tune to Sylvester's You Make Me Feel Mighty Real (1978),which is also fab.
React has a very different idea of what Deep Cut means than I do, Deep Cut usually means the less played songs on an album to me, these are mostly hits.

I love the Pretenders I feel like they are underrated. Chrissy Hines is a great singer.
I wish you would more of these, of 80's and 70's.
Thanks
This video proves not only that 80's music rules, but that most of the best stuff came from the UK
I was a MASSIVE Roxette fan. R.I.P. Marie 💔
Same!
I never realized that Notorious was considered a deep cut. Always loved that track.
If you were born around when Red, Red Wine came out , UB40-ish 😂🤣
I don't think you will be able to make a comment on any post ever again, because you ain't gonna top this one☝
I’m Three Years older than Red Red Wine.
Holy hell, never thought I would see The Pogues on here! Fantastic!
Great selection of songs! As someone born in 1980 I wouldn’t describe them as “deep cuts” but I get that to these Gen Z’ers it might be. I was still hoping that “One Night in Bangkok” and “Just Like Heaven” and “One Vision” would make the cut…
Fuming that they gave Roxette mid-range scores on average. RIP Marie
R.I.P Marie gone but never forgotten Roxette will always be on my play list.
agreed
that was my favorite song today
The woman singing in the Limahl is Beth Andersen
The awesome 80's. I lived it! Greatest generation of all time.
80's. The best music decade EVER!
The fact that these "kids" are reacting to songs 40 years old is slaying me, since I WAS THERE. Daggers to the heart, because as a GenXer, I thought we don't age....Thes grandchildren are killing me.
So they not "slaying you" they are "sending you". The 80's bands do slay though! KEK
Should've shown Shake The Disease from Depeche Mode just to show off Martin Gore's broccoli top haircut
A few things here, from my memory:
Roxette "The Look" - the American exchange student who went to Sweden dropped it off at his local Top 40 station in Minneapolis, not college rock. But still that's where it was first heard in America and spread throughout the country.
The Pretenders "Don't Get Me Wrong" - the video is an homage to the popular '60s British TV spy series "The Avengers".
New Order "Blue Monday" - the dog is a Weimeramer, the video director's dog.
Bonus points for including The Pogues, Echo and PSB (known for SO MUCH MORE than "West End Girls").
New Orders - Blue Monday was definitely my favorite; Orgy did the song justice too
Pet Shop Boys a 2 or 4. Wow, that really surprised me. I absolutely love them.
Their singing was a 2 or 4. Not liking Neil Tennant's voice is egregious.
I'm a 80s child I grew up with this music
The 80s was an amazing decade to grow up in for a huge selection of musical styles to enjoy. I miss the 80s and all the fun we had.
Meeee tooo. Best Era EVER!!!
As a Gen-Xer this makes me smile. These Gen-Z kids are awesome.
Same 😊
Giving Blue Monday a 5 - all credibility lost.
All scores for this need to be higher. I want to hear what they think is a 10 from today.
Exactly how I felt about Holy Diver--Ronnie James Dio was amazing!
I see the thumbnail-the 80’s deep cuts, the Jaxon, the “Do They Know it?” Even before watching, I say to myself, “well duh, Jaxon does” lolol
We need more 80's Deep Cuts episodes!!! More The Pretenders!! More Duran Duran!! More Echo!! More New Order!!
That kid knew his stuff. As a wee lad of the 80s, I wish they would have played some INXS, Tears for Fears, U2, The Cure, Depeche Mode and Prince and the Revolution. Children would have become Gen X.
Deep cuts? Most (if not all) of these songs were hits. "Let's Dance" by David Bowie was and remains one of his most popular songs. "Epic" is Faith No More's most streamed song on Spotify.

I used to work at the pub in Birmingham England that the video for Red Red Wine was filmed at. Some of the band were regulars.
I’m from Birmingham. Run into members of UB40 on a pretty regular basis. Really nice guys
I despair. ''I know [The Never Ending Story] from Stranger Things..''
Even their cultural references are second hand.
Makes me feel so much older
I'd ABSOLUTELY LOVE to see a REACT to 80s "New Wave" & "Synth-Pop
Sweet children. That loud noise in Let's Dance is an atomic bomb exploding. A well-known fear in the early 80s, when I was a teen
They need to have them sit down and watch that movie that terrified us called The Day After.
@@laurabailey1054don't watch Threads. It's terrifying.
I was and still am a massive fan of The Killing Moon and Echo and the Bunny men what an incredible group they were
5 out of 10 for Dio?! WHAT?! That's shocking, that kid needs to have word with himself. Also, background dude, your moustache is f**king top shelf.
I can just appreciate that I know 90% of these songs from my job. I’ve come to realize 99.9% of 80’s music is just bangers
I grew up in the 80’s. Of course, I’m nostalgic about the 80’s. What is funny to me is that most kids raised in later generations like the 90’s, the 2000’s and so on have nostalgia for a time they didn’t lived.

The credits @8:49 😂😂😂😂
Edward Norton on a good day!!!
Every genXer gives a groan and an eye roll, kiddies YOU Don know what you're missing😂😂
Epic by Faith No More....now that's a throwback!!!
80's music was so good. I grew up listening all these. Just great tunes.
Not really, I grew up listening to these too, but now I can't even listen to it, except a few. There was some great music for sure,
but pop was trash.
I’m a 90s baby but grew up listening to 80s music 😁
I don’t think they should show the music videos. Some of them are judging the song based on the visuals, instead of the actual music.
Funny that Rick Astley got such high praise in this video. The guy was a one hit kid back in the 80's.
Well, the rickroll meme helped give him a new audience since the 2000s.
I love seeing Jamie and Jaxon together reacting to anything
Born in 65 this was my favourite decade for music 🎶👉🏽👍🏽🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
This was one of the best episodes you've created! Please do a 90s version of this, it would be interesting to see if the Gen Zers know more 90s deep cuts compared to this 80s one.
Oh dear. These kids want to flash lights of their mobiles, instead slow dancing with each other when listening to lady in red. Damn I remember our dance parties in high school
The Pogues were originally called Pogue Mahone - an anglicised version of the gaelic phrase "póg mo thóin" which means "Kiss my arse". They changed it after a DJ on BBC radio refused to say their name after he was told what it meant.

Whatever NERD!!!!
Rick Astley has amazing stage presence - saw him live earlier this year. He wrote the song about his wife
I saw Never Ending Story in the theaters in the 2nd grade (1985) and fell in love with it immediately. My favorite movie EVER and BEST SCORE EVER!!! So glad you included Limahl for these kiddos. 😎😎
Second grade?! Damn.The death of the horse must've scared your for life at that age?
Duran Duran released Notorious in 1986 - The Notorious B.I.G name was created in 1993
So, no it wasn't about Biggie Smalls.
He sampled the song in one of his songs. They said it weird, though. I had to rewind and read.
Agreed. Duran Duran wrote Notorious. Biggie actually took their hit later on.
How can you have a collection of 80s songs without Depeche Mode?!
Born in late 86. Love the older music more than modern music
Literally all of these songs were massive hit singles. A "deep cut" is a song you only discover on an album or b-side.
Like Journey’s Mother Father!
Born in '76 so I had the privilege of growing up with all these hits on the radio
