Loathed 80s music when I was living through it, have recently been diving back into it and realising it was not all bad …….. but, over the years, Rock Me Amadeus by Falco has always been my go to track when I am feeling nostalgic

Most of the sings posted were not what i was listening to in the 80s.

There was also quite a lot of really good music in that decade.
