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

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.

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.

There's no 50's music community to post the original Ritchie Valens version, so here's a 1987 cover.
