An ongoing project to showcase 70's and 80's music videos, television shows and movies.

Although predominately an 80's based channel I have been adding more 70's content lately. There are simply too many great songs, movies and shows from the 70's to not include them here!

Basically this channel has music video compilations, trailers, TV themes and lots more to find in the playlists section. Also the entire favourites section is dedicated to music only from the 70's and 80's.

Backup Channel
http://www.youtube.com/user...

Above is a link to my backup channel. It has other 80s music videos and soundtracks from movies from the 70's and 80's. I am on my 2nd strike for copyright infringement so please take two seconds to sub the backup channel and you will still get sent videos if this main one gets suspended.

I grew up in the 70's and 80's and music, movies and television played a huge part of it. I used to go to sleep with the radio on each night. I still remember the time I woke up in the middle of the night and heard Vincent Price talking throughout Michael Jackson's Thriller....scary moment for a young lad.

I love pretty much all types of music so you will see alot of different songs amongst the compilations on this channel. Recently I have started adding television compilations and movie trailers as well.

New Zealand during the early 80's only had 2-3 channels and only a few music shows (Ready To Roll and Soild Gold) No MTV down at the bottom of the world! Luckily another show came on T.V called Radio With Pictures that showed alternative bands. This allowed me to get a balance of chart hits and alternative music.

I hope you enjoy the channel and it brings back some good memories. I love talking about music and movies so feel free to leave a message...
