It's insane that an album from 1983 is still in the top 200.

I lived throught he 80's and all these are just a jumbled mess in my mind, thanks for putting them in chronological order.

I remember kids trying to Moonwalk the next day, after that show aired. We even held Moonwalking contests. Man it was a great time to be a kid.

I love these, my mom was 18 in 1983 and sadly she passed away when I was 11, I’ve always wondered what life was like for her before kids and your videos put it into perspective for me

1983 is when the 80's started for real, 1980-82 where still kind of 70's

I turned 6 in '83 and the 80s was the best decade to be a kid. Glad that I lived the 80s.

Dude! Not a single mention of the great Video Game Crash of 1983. That deserves it's own video.

Ahh the 80s......when rock / metal music was the best.

HaHa! I thought I was the only person in the entire world who remembered "MANIMAL". I was 7 years old and thought it was the greatest show in the history of television. LOL! Blew my 7 year old mind that it only lasted 8 episodes. Love this channel and this "Timeline" series. Great work!

I was born in 83. Although I was a little disappointed that I wasn't mentioned in this video, I have to say... it's still a pretty good video. Actually, I love this channel. Thanks for making great content!

A priceless walk down memory lane. One of the greatest series that I've ever viewed on YouTube. 1 million stars.
