800 Songs of the 80's [with video links]

A list by Matt_Marz

Categories: Best Of, 1980s, Releases, Underrated

[List349665] | heart+65


The rankings are of course skewed to my personal favorites, but with 800 songs you should find plenty that you like. Don't be afraid, there are only 9 poser metal/hair metal songs on this list.

I have tried to link the official video from YouTube. but some songs just have the audio over a picture, etc.

For this list, the rules were simple: to qualify, the song must be 1. a single; 2. be featured on an EP or 12" single; 3. have an official video; 4. be featured on a multiple artist compilation; OR 5. be the only (non-single release) album track from a particular album. (I think I did break the rules one or two times, but that's it.)
DECEMBER 6, 2023 UPDATE: I have now updated all 800 songs to link to a working video for nearly every song. If no video was available, an audio link is provided. Occasionally a video is taken off of YouTube. When that happens I look for newer links (like I just did in December), but sometimes it takes a while. I know that it can be frustrating when the videos are taken down, but hey, there are 800 songs, just move on to the next one. Or do your own search, there is a 99% chance that somebody has uploaded the song onto YouTube.

ALSO, I have a similar list for the 1990's. I could only come up with 500 for that list, and the bottom 30 is pretty sketchy... But there is plenty of great stuff on it otherwise. Here is the link.. https://rateyourmusic.com/list/AxlGump/500-songs-of-the-90s-with-video-links/
