80s Nostalgia Project by IGBOSON1: 10:11pm On Nov 15, 2014 |
The 1980s saw the emergence of pop, dance music and new wave. As the term disco fell out of fashion in the decade's early years,[1] genres such as post-disco, Italo disco, Euro disco and dance-pop became more popular. Rock music continued to enjoy a wide audience. Sub-genres such as new wave,[2] soft rock,[3] and glam metal and shred guitar characterized by heavy distortion, pinch harmonics and whammy bar abuse became very popular.[4] Adult contemporary,[5] quiet storm,[6] and smooth jazz gained popularity. The 1980s are commonly remembered for an increase in the use of digital recording, associated with the usage of synthesizers, with synthpop music and other electronic genres featuring non-traditional instruments increasing in popularity. Also during this decade, several major electronic genres were developed, including electro, techno, house, freestyle and Eurodance, rising in prominence during the 1990s and beyond. Throughout the decade, R&B, hip hop and urban genres were becoming commonplace, particularly in the inner-city areas of large, metropolitan cities; rap was especially successful in the latter part of the decade,[7] with the advent of the golden age of hip hop. These urban genres—particularly rap and hip hop—would continue their rise in popularity through the 1990s and 2000s. A 2010 survey conducted by the digital broadcaster Music Choice, which polled over 11,000 European participants, revealed that the 1980s is the most favored tune decade of the last 50 years.[8] https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=9&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CE8QFjAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F1980s_in_music&ei=oahnVOvQGoLuaqP_grgH&usg=AFQjCNH4Ip7YGB5hAyVsbRFCUMM-lckuKg These are just a few of those memorable evergreen tunes that defined a decade; and you can add your favorites as well: New Edition: Cool it now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZUq6N7Gx1c Aretha Franklin (Queen of Soul): Who's zooming' who? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnwDkT0lUWI Teddy Pendergrass: Joy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxHOpyFv9i8 Lisa Lisa & the Cult Jam (she's not only gorgeous, but ahead of her time if you ask me ): I wonder if i take you home https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0wIYY0JUvY Jackson Five (i bet for most, this performance sealed Michael in our hearts for good; just check out the range in his voice from 8.05.....just magical): Motown-25 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0EQSDFovfc Tevin Campbell: Tommorrow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axg_BD59wbE Fleetwood Mac: Everywhere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbsaj0XHUeg Baltimora: Tarzan Boy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r0n9Dv6XnY Cool & The Gang: Fresh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTJ1XwGDcA4 Tina Turner: What's love got to do with it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu8KFlfzk3Y Stevie Wonder: Part time lover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll6LLGePYwM Marvin Gaye: Sexual healing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjlSiASsUIs Majek Fashek: Send down the rain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwoOzGqjxDI Mike Okri: Omoge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iep2iYnT_sI Funmi Adams: Ahayye yaro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haRwKZ4D4hI Enough for now......till later! |
