Agreed, just watched and found it thoroughly interesting. That is a classic sound we just take for granted now, good to know the origins.

I'm so familiar with the 80's sound, but honestly had no idea of WHY it was the 80's sound. I'm sure there were plenty of other contributing factors, but still very interesting.

Very cool! It all makes sense now. Now, I'll be spotting it every time I hear that sound.

I always thought I was just hearing drumming. Now I can hear the difference

I really enjoyed watching that... I love the 80s sound and style. Was good to know a bit of the origins behind that sound..

Great video.
I always knew authentic 80's when I heard it, just didn't know why. Definitely a signature of the sound.

I hadn't noticed this thread before. Thanks for posting this Chris! Very interesting. Kinda the same as others,I can always tell an 80's song, but never really understood why they seemed so connected.
