80s New Wave Music Hits - New Wave Video Clips from the Early 1980s

[zukepalims]

this is really fucked up how can we know what song and lyric.....

[budofan1]

9:43 - perhaps the most overplayed hit of the 80's - along with I Melt with you by Modern English. Great songs, but overplayed to the neglect of other great songs of the era that deserve to be heard.

[nineinchnlsnin]

@budofan1 Right.. "I Ran" is a good song, but not their best! They should play songs like "Wishing" or "It's Not Me Talking" more often instead!

[choccosmurf1]

GREAT COMPILATION!!...I'VE PROBABLY GOT ONLY 2 SONGS THAT I SEEN ON HERE THAT'S NOT ON MY ZUNE...I LOVE THE 80S!!

[Conquissstador]

PLEASE what is the 6:30 to 6:40 min song name ?

Thanks!!!

[BlackSkyThunder]

@Conquissstador OMD - So in love; Orchestral Manoeuvres in the dark to be more specific; this group made one of the most delicate and romantic songs we could ever hear; another jewell from the 80's; first time I heard this song I got extremely thrilled about the entonation of Andy McCluskey

[Tapes80]

Only 80's. This is hit-machine! "Radio Tapes 80" (search in google) is trandy music of the 80's. With smoke, strobes and discoball. Dance Synth-pop, melodic new-wave, and certainly top hit playboys this great decade.

[HellsHord]

good job digging up: men at work- it a mistake, and eurythmics-love is a stranger. had it bad for annie lennox back then.

[lauronicaa]

Somebody knows the 08:55 min song name?? Pleaseeee

[memrsmo]

@lauronicaa it is Major Tom (coming home)

[MsAbdullah050]

güzel sarkılar

[swv153]

thank you not bubble gum music

[DeathTraces]

what is the name of the song at 7:34?

[tango1119]

I wonder do these 80's bands get royalties from Adam Sandler movies? Awesome memories!

[DeathTraces]

What is the song at 7:19 and the one at 7:34? please someone tell me

[richcastle]

@DeathTraces 7:19 is true by spandau ballet

[DeathTraces]

@richcastle thank you :)

[CwissinDaKidd]

what song @ 8:41 ?!

[bojames98]

@CwissinDaKidd Major Tom (comeing home)

[bojames98]

There are some cool new wave songs on the "Vally Girl" sound track.

[SuperTrijet]

Graet compilation but is it so difficult to list all the songs? Tired to see zillion of people asking for the name of one song or for another

[mreedster]

Um? I think you got some top 40's mix in this, which isn't true New Wave. When I think of New Wave I think of the music played on KROQ in LA. in the 80's. To many people confuse top 40's with New Wave just because it was played on MTV during that time.

[Baldoki]

2:45 song name please????

[foggy222]

@Baldoki yazoo ~ situation

[mkexpose]

alguien m podria dar el nombre d la cancion del min 6:32 se los agradeceria mucho

[hectorlabbe]

@mkexpose Es ' So in love ' del grupo britanico OMD, los vi por 1ra vez en marzo 2011, padrissimo ! Donde vives ? Gracias : )

[Baldoki]

New wave revival coming soon!

[superj5869]

2 min 50 ?

[bjroberts65]

@superj5869 ...YAZOO, ''SITUATION''

[superj5869]

whats the name of the song at about 230 in with the keyboard?

[brainslow]

@superj5869  Destination unknown , by Missing persons

[djbigpean]

New wave was nothing but the British invasion pt2!!

[KikeVAAP]

I'm a 16 years-old 80's music fan!! i wish we had this music nowadays.. It's more elaborated, not necessary about sex or drugs and with an unique rhythm!

[martha1spur]

New Wave preceded Metal. 

[warhero296]

Fuck New wave.... It tried to kill the metal. But it failed.

[ladycplum]

@warhero296 What's wrong with listening to both? I considered myself a NW freak and a headbanger all throughout elementary and high school. tayed up catching both 120 Minutes and Headbanger's Ball on MTV every weekend....when they actually still played videos!

[brainslow]

@warhero296 No worries..metal survives to...repeat itself in its eternal monotonous DRONE of howls and guitar buzzing, synths are all around now oh and it seems modern rap/hiphop/urban rhythms have pushed metal to the hole where it belongs (again)

[mrfrogbutt1]

@brainslow Metal kicks ass! Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot! Todays rap and hip hop ruined everything

[SimpleeO1]

Great playlist but quite a few of these in my opinion is not categorized as new wave. Like culture club, howard jones, thompson twins, eurthymics, the police.

[NewJerseyCarMassacre]

To hell what some kids nowadays think (negative) about 80's music. They can have Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black. But music from the 80's is what I call "real music."

[roderickcps]

Great!!... I just make a playlist with these songs! Thanks!

[Deralis01]

Garry f_kin neuman!!!



[martamellow]

@HavokOnePointZero Rick does not belong to the category "New Wave from the Early 1980"

[TheAnnOrange]

[redfist1409]

@HavokOnePointZero

Rick Astley is not new wave I thought...

[TheCaferocker]

who sings the song at 8:44???

[fabiorock6]

@TheCaferocker Major Tom - Peter Schilling

[TheCaferocker]

@fabiorock6 Thanks for the reply dude!!!

[JanMelet]

Thanks for this review.

[MrDirt86]

Mullet is everywhere.

[TheHugh37]

The B52's, Howard Jones, Visage etc etc ...

[pinoyguyable]

wow this been a long time had fun watching some of these videos back then when mtv play music video

[pakesboy]

@AmethystRants because you were born in that generation.

[Piccar72]

Great viedos, is it possible to have the whole list of all of them? There are some songs that I've forgot the name.

Thanks for posting.

[jon2johnny]

I'm hoping if someone out there can help me - looking for a song, pretty sure UK act, time period circa 79 - 83, has a bit of a Freeeze sound - Had a guy singing a lyric similar to "That was my heart, don't be late" with some trumpet synth sounds over - it would then go to the bridge which had another guy almost rap "And there was something about it, that I never knew of it" with more trumpet like synth then back to the first lyric. These lyrics aren't accurate sadly hence google no help. HELP!

[sabianqaz]

@ckmd2015 love plus one by haircut 100. @ wroseneilglam only the lonely by the motels.  @ burucutu1 major tom by peter schilling .

[Gentleman106]

[pinoyguyable]

[ckmd2015]

[ApriliaGuy1969]

@ckmd2015 Hair Cut 100 and the song is called..Love plus one

[mattop251]

New wave try to kill the metal!!! But they failed!!!

[TheJames1233]

@mattop251 GRUNGE KILLED THE METAL TILL '94

[freshbro12]

My dad danced to this in the 80s

[sabianqaz]

Love the heaven 17, split enz and haircut 100 footage. Never seen those before.

[sabianqaz]

@falaqdad15. 3:05 i know its new order, i think the song is temptation. Good song great band.

[medenillama]

80's era of good new wave music & weird fashion!

[azkeyz]

You can spend 10 years in study and never hear everything from the 80s.

[azkeyz]

blonde defines the 80s new wave ? , well that's questionable , In lots of peoples minds she defined disco not new wave lol

I'll let you get by with blonde being your defacto new wave leader.

[azkeyz]

Damn, Annie lennox is such a hot lady , I keep wondering when I'll be the kind of man that can interest her.

I've heared lots of stuff about annie being lesbian , if that's true I can make her normal for at least an hour lol

[tranurse]

@azkeyz i think she's been married to a man, so i don't think she's a lesbian.

[azkeyz]

I had no idea that the gogos could suck that bad in a life performance.

That's always one of my fears , that I will sound flat in a live performance.

it can happen , and the more it happens , the more points get deducted from your band.

[cinefilterman]

does anyone know the female singer that appears on the second vid?

[falaqdad15]

3:05 , 8:41

what are those songs?

[Blake8059]

@falaqdad15

8:41 >> Peter Schilling "major tom"

[kulangot223]

Roflmao !! 1:03 =))

[mdpzur]

como se llama la cancion del minuto 7.20?

[smuthcreemnl]

@mdpzur Spandau Ballet - True

[Gamebox27]

It's hard for anything from the 80s pop genre to not be at least 1% New Wave. There is a wide variety of songs that can be called "New Wave". Synths, choppy vocals, brooding yet energetic songs, and usually a commentary on society in some way or another while still being fun songs to listen to.

[JarrodCook93]

no Numan or Tubeway, thats a shame

[falaqdad15]

God I love this!!

[mdpzur]

como se llama la cancion del minuto 7.07

[hadanimia]

me encanta este canal

[NancyinColorado]

cont... Bananarama is not New Wave. not sure, Spandau Ballet, Howard Jones, The Motels (more pop), Split Endz, The Waitresses, Visage, Peter Schilling, not sure?, The Tubes (not one of their better songs), Wall of Voodoo, A Flock of Seagulls

[NancyinColorado]

B-52's, Kim Wilde, The Police (not New Wave), Talking Heads, The Cars (definitely not New Wave), Go-go's (NOT), Blondie (the original Punk), Men at Work New Wave? forget band on destination unknown. Yazoo, not sure but familiar, again not sure, The Fixx, Nik Kershaw (more pop), The Eurythmics (excellent), Alphaville (became popular again after Napoleon Dynamite used Forever Young), Depeche Mode, Berlin, Ultravox, can't remember group, Psych. Furs, Boy George??, The Cure, OMD,

[doetim]

@NancyinColorado You are splitting hair, all these bands are more or less new wave. The only band that I can say conclusively not new wave is the Tubes.

[JeffreySunshine1]

Good to see Yazoo in there!

[MSTLOM]

The CARS and GO GOES were New Wave eh?? **scratches head**

[TheKnorrhane]

Does anyone know the name of the first track? cant even hear the lyrics in order to type in the search for that song.

[pasay2519]

@TheKnorrhane private idaho by b52s

[perpster]

@TheKnorrhane

Rock Lobster by the B-52's.

[perpster]

@TheKnorrhane

Sorry, it's Private Idaho by the B-52's. Rock Lobster was another hit of theirs.

[Dennis060796]

LOVE PLUS ONE- HAIRCUT 100 3:26

[medleyeric]

@shoelesskc Thank you thank you ty!

[MrsChaosBitch]

I like all the artists in this video but there's barely a new wave band in here.

[klub1uk]

Have to agree with some of the comments here, Whilst it's always great to hear an 80's compilation, there's only about 3 or 4 artists on here that can truly be classed as New Wave. Very disappointing :(

[klub1uk]

@jdejesus6 Actually a link to the track list IS included in the description. Thumbs up fail I think :)

[jdejesus6]

i still got a thumbs up or two....WIN.

[whatever52h]

found it

[whatever52h]

7:50 ?

[endracismguy]

@whatever52h motels

[DuaLeaD]

Kraftwerk, Ultravox, YMO, Gary Numan, Duran Duran, Kim Wilde, Missing Persons, Alphaville, Yazoo, and Berlin would be THE BEST New Wave bands in my opinion. Although I absolutely adore Blondie, I don't consider them a "new wave" band per se after listening to all of their albums. SUPER important band though.

[doetim]

@DuaLeaD Blondie DEFINES new wave IMO. In fact the term new wave was originally created for early bands like Blondie, Talking Heads, etc., not for all the 80's bands. I think more than any other band from the 70's Blondie was hugely responsible for shaping the 80's combo of dance and rock sound of "new wave" of all the british artists because they incorporated punk, dance and pop into a very distinct sound!

If you don't think of Blondie as new wave how would you classify them then?

[Ruth10151617]

@DuaLeaD you forgot depeche mode

[AntK1968]

"Destination Unknown" by Missing Persons at 2:30. Great song, great band. I think they were overlooked and underrated by a lot of people. Drummer Terry Bozzio went on to become a legend and a real pioneer in the drumming community. The guy's a monster player. Anyway, I always have this tune or "Walking in L.A." on my iPod. The 80's were so awesome!!

[wondermayo2009]

Some of these songs awaken memories and emotions I had as a child growing up through the 80's!

Anyone who misses this era MUST check out Electro Kill Machine. A new band from Basildon, Essex (same town as Depeche Mode and Yazoo). I saw them last month in London and I am hooked. Check out their vid!

[jman4208]

@wondermayo2009 dosent listening to the 80's make you wanna fuck something not literally but the awsomness makres me wanna dosent it make ya wanna FUCKING EXPLODE

[TheIdeasMatrix]

lots of bands here are annoyingn and i am a new wave lover lol.

[crisann1231]

[JuanAbrilRamos]

Me estoy colocando ruleros en la cabeza; mis labios se tiñen de carmesí; mis ojos ensombrecen de azul eléctrico, mi lengua está roja por el sparkies; mañana es otro día, pero estos minutos de Wave son eternos. Eternos.

[timoteo68]
