1980s Music
(374 Tracks)
The 1980s brought revolutionary change to the music scene. With the advent of MTV, compact discs and MIDI technology, music became more diverse with New Wave, Heavy Metal, Hip Hop, Rap, Teen Pop, Techno Pop, Alt Rock and "new" Country. MIDI enabled the production of high-quality music from home studios, leading to new synth-driven electronic genres of music such as Techno, Rave, House, Electronica, Ambient and Trance. Major acts included Michael Jackson (Billboard's Artist of the Decade), U2, Duran Duran, Madonna, Prince, Peter Gabriel, INXS and early Hip Hop artists such as LL Cool J, Public Enemy and 2 Live Crew.

NEVER BEEN TO LA - (by Kortney Jean)  Year: 2010
Kortney Jean (APRIL 2014)
Starry-eyed and mellow, with a hopeful vibe, our April 2014 Editor’s Choice Award honors this fun, upbeat song that brilliantly combines County with Pop, creating a fine "Crossover" tune -- with catchy lyrics that start like this: “Big city fame, don’t let me down.”   A song about a rising Country Star who appears to have everything going in her favor but has never been to Los Angeles, where the real stars are considered to be. The music has a real Pop flavor, like retro music you loved in the 70's and 80's! Upbeat, lively, with catchy lyrics -- and a Big Winner! Female Vocals, Country, Country Pop
