50s yes, 60s maybe, But in the 80's? Nah. 80s especially were the very best, my friend ;). Think of it like a more prosperous Cuba of 2021.

Check this out: Gumení chlapci (Rubber Boys) 1984 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFnmy6q9d8M

1987 Diskopríbeh (Disco story) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pac_Uabo-hY

1988 Kamarát do dešte (A friend through the rain) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b-DC7GJIe8

I mean, unless your friend was into politics, it wasn't so tough in the 80s. At lest for the more commercial music. Punk or Metal people have it hard, but Jazz or Pop/Rock was ok.

This is one rock band from 1985 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz_y401AFOo

Paradoxically they made an anti communist anthem a few years later, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJucQNdBJo4

Don’t forget 1987’s Bony a klid which had Frankie goes to Hollywood’s "Relax" as a main music theme (legaly) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg2w5uE-814

And then there are also Návštěvníci (The visitors) which is basically Daft Punk, just 30 years earlier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSjda4QF9wI

The visitors soundtrack was done by Karel Svoboda, my favorite piece from him is this: https://youtu.be/TexUnMWTk04
