@ChadtheHammer
Eighties music was so epic it had to start in 1979.
@80ssynthfan48
1979 is "honorary 80s" to me.
@Sum_Yousah
1978 actually: "Die Roboter" by Kraftwerk
@Sum_Yousah
"Roboter", "Are Friends Electric", "Cars", "Video Killed The Radio Star" and "Pop Muzik" are songs that were WAY ahead of their time!
@zerep11
Yes indeed. I remember watching the videos on "Video Concert Hall" on PBS way before MTV was a twinkle.
@queenswarthamaniharrington992
Check out New Zealand band Misex for another good band from this genre/ time. "Computer Games" is a good start.
