I love 80s music. I think the music was so ground breaking for its time. The beats were peppy, fun, and upbeat. How could you be sad in the 80s with such great music? I listen to a lot of 80s music and its a wonderful treat and a way to sort of take you back to a simpler time. There were lots of one hit wonders, but there were also bands who had many great songs. Here are some of my favorite bands that to this day are worth listening to. There are a lot more bands I love not mentioned, but these are just some of the bands I really love.

These bands made some great music. I remember dancing in the clubs to this kind of music in the 80s. The clubs were so fun. The music was loud, entertaining and had a lot of bass, keyboards, cowbell and interesting sounds.
Concerts were visually exciting and you could dance while staying upbeat and you felt energetic. The lyrics were interesting and sometimes you listened to it trying to figure it out. Sometimes it didn't make sense, but with a funky beat, it didn't matter. 80s music is perfect for movie soundtracks, pool parties, listening to at the beach, dancing at clubs, getting ready to go out and to put you in a good mood. When you're down and need to be uplifted, turn on some 80s music and clean the house, do chores, wash dishes, and boring things like that may seem a little fun. The 80s were like totally awesome and the music was like so tubular. For sure. Like you know what I mean. It was so totally rad. For sure.
I don't care of 80's music except for the Cure and Depeche Mode; reminds me of my mom. I will have to find a picture of her from the Cure days and show you. -Nicole
