We will never have a music generation as vibrant and evolutionary as the 80's. So glad I was there for it!

"Relax" is still revolutionary/evolutionary/timeless 40 years later.
-
Those who said they only heard it from a movie must be pretty young. This song was played all the time on the radio back in the 80’s. You couldn’t miss it!

I was 13 when the song came out. I had just bought a boom box with a dual cassette player. I would wait for the song to play on the local radio station. When it did, I would record it. I did this multiple times until I had filled both sides of a 90 min tape. I listened to this tape with “Relax” playing over and over again. I guess I really liked the song! Haha!

Gotta' say, listening back to this after all these years . . . the one thing that hits me about the song is that it sounds so fucking massive, everything is just monstrous !
-
This song defined a decade. 80s were the best.
-
I was 14 when it came out, just the right year for this song. Saw them live at the Manchester Apollo...was quite a concert. Kids... go see bands, one day you'll look back and be amazed you were there at a moment in history.

Take me back to the 80s

3 tracks were essential in the evolution of electronic dance music at the time: Relax by Frankie goes to Hollywood, Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat and Blue Monday by New Order..........all coming out of the tale wind of Donna Summer's monster electronic dance influence culminating in 1979 through the early 80's.

"I remember thinking to myself, 'I have no idea what they're talking about...It Seems Like It Could Be filth...I Hope So...'" LOL!

-
What a song. What an experience. What a time. Thanks a lot to all that contributed.
-
This has to be the most iconic song of the 80's
-
I'm so happy I lived through this time.

I was a sweet young innocent thing back in Catholic University in '84 when my friend had to patiently explain "Relax" to me.:face-blue-wide-eyes:

1984 was a revolutionary year for music
