While every generation thinks the music of their time is the best, people that grew up in the 80s have a pretty good argument to make. Many of the most beloved songs of all-time come from the era, with some even still played heavily today. Since it’s hard to pick one as the best, one artist recently attempted to combine four songs from the time period, creating possibly the most 80s song ever.
Mashup artists Bill McClintock has gone viral several times in the past thanks to his songs combining some of the biggest hits of all-time, often from different genres. However, his latest focused on one era in particular: the 1980s. The song combines music from Van Halen, Roxette, Judas Priest and Winger, according to Yahoo.
For the body of the song, McClintock combines Judas Priest's ‘The Sentinel and Screaming for Vengeance’ with Roxette's ‘The Look.’ Then guitar solos from Winger’s ‘Seventeen,’ and Van Halen’s ‘Mean Street’ were added to create what the internet has dubbed the most 80s song of all-time. While sadly the world will never get to see all these bands come together in real life, at least this song shows us how great it would have been.
