International Bands Of The 1980s And Your Youth – Parenthood

The 1980s were one of the most memorable decades in musical history, regardless of the weather. Many groups, national and international, continue to experience success on radio and music platforms many years later.

National songs will always be remembered by all who belong to a given country. However, these groups which are international are often commemorated by people around the world.

Today, we want to make a selection of international groups from the 1980s that have certainly marked your youth, your adolescence or any other stage in your life that you remember with particular affection and nostalgia. Turn up the volume, we’re ready to begin!

The best bands of the 80s

the police

What if we told you that the singer of The Police is 68 years old now? Time flies by! It’s like it was yesterday, when this international group was playing on all the televisions and radios of the moment, with hits that are still playing today.

Every breath you take or Roxanne are some of his most listened to songs, but the repertoire of this incredibly successful band kept them in the top positions of the charts for many years.

Every breath you take  is also, according to Rolling Stone magazine , among the 500 best songs of all time, appearing in 84th place.

Queen , one of the best international groups of the 80s

If this British rock group was formed in the 70s, it was in the 80s that it came to the fore. This success is notably due to one of his most iconic songs which, to this day, is still an anthem and is broadcast in many parts of the world: I want to break free .

The music video for this song sparked enormous controversy and was a statement of intent. However, if we were to keep a Queen song , we would go for Bohemian Rhapsody , without a doubt.

The success of the group was such that, even in 2018, a film with the name of the song, which is a biography of the singer of the group, Freddie Mercury, and his rock band, Queen, appeared on the big screen.

Metallica

One of the quintessential rock icons and Grammy winner for song One, Metallica is one of the most successful and experienced international groups of the 1980s in the music business.

Guns N ‘Roses

Within the international groups of the 1980s, we could not forget this historic musical group. Much like the band The Police we were talking about earlier, in 2011 Guns N ‘Roses came in at No. 21 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 100 best artists in history.

Bon Jovi

While it may seem like Bon Jovi was a lead singer, he is not. It is actually a rock band composed by Bon Jovi himself, but also by a keyboardist, a drummer, a guitarist and a bassist.

Considered a global music icon, reaching an astronomical number of record sales and concerts around the world, his success is such that today he is part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , where only the best arrive. . Its numbers say it all:

• 3 times diamond disc
• 202 platinum records
• 75 times more gold records
• 3 times silver disc

Michael Jackson, the king of pop

Although not an international group but a solo singer, we did not want to miss the opportunity to remember a key figure, author of songs and melodies that marked a before and after.

Michael Jackson will always be known as the King of Pop, even though he formed a musical group with his brothers, the Jackson 5, for 15 years. After that, he started his solo career without knowing that years later he would become the most famous singer in the world.

Records like Thriller , one of the best-selling albums in musical history, as well as Bad , marked a before and after in musical history.
