Jam out to 80's music! Post some music and let's talk about it.

Rules

All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
Be constructive and don't gatekeep. Music is highly subjective, and people have different tastes. Instead of downvoting or coming in to say how much you personally don't like a song/artist, post something you do like instead.
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.
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

The preferred title format is Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
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.

Comsat Angels - Nature Trails (BBC Sessions version) [1983(?)] (www.youtube.com)

was of two minds about posting this version because it's from a compilation released in 1992, but of sessions recorded between 1979-1984, and i did not find which year for which tracks. but Land came out in 1983 so likely an '83 or '84 recording for this one i reckon.

anyway i just think it's really pretty :)
