June 7, 2023 at 5:09 pmSpotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7pP4aWw66pyAVZ7CaW5OAJ?si=Q66Cw_IaQASNNALOd3oAbg
More classic hits from the 80s like Africa, Billie Jean or Eye of the Tiger are featured in my '100 most iconic songs of the 80s' video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnCgqtPixI0
This is a re-upload. The original video from February 2020 has been blocked due to copyright infringement, because it featured 6 seconds of Wham's 'Freedom'. I replaced the studio version of that song with a live version from 'Top of the Pops'. I also replaced 2 other songs from the original video: Instead of Blondie's 'Call Me' (another copyright nightmare) the video now includes Toto's 'Rosanna', and the Depeche Mode song 'Personal Jesus' has been replaced with 'Strangelove'. 'Personal Jesus' was released in Europe in the second half of 1989 but in the US in 1990, so many American viewers pointed out that it was a 90s song to them. -
