[MUSIC] The 80's thread .... (links only please, no full video screens)

For sure, all killer no filler. Not a bad song on there, classic album that still sounds great now.
 
I was 10 - 20 during the 80s, so its bound to the era where i listened to most music. AFAIK i allways liked music, though my parents allways played radio 2. If thed have played more radio 1 id have been able to get into music earlier. I think they bought me my own radio cassette player when i was about 9, so with that and top of the pops i was on my way.

Early favotites included The Buggles, Video Killed The Radio Star (i think i wore than record out), Another Brick In The Wall, and Land Down Under. Ithink they are all 70s rather than 80s though. I remember the kids singing them at primary school. When we wnet to visit high school one of the kids was walking around with a ghetto blaster blaring out Dexys Come On Eileen. I thought he was cool as fuck. I was very easily impressed at the age of 10. I dont think walkmans had become common at that point, so ghetto blasters were the in thing.

Fuckin hell. Brings back memories, as does this:

Strawberry Switchblade -- Since Yesterday

i loved the bit in the middle where the music would wobble from left to right speaker. That was the most stunning use of stereo i had heard in pop music up until that point. Its 'old hat' now. But was something new for me.

Have you heard this dan? this was the original version of the tune you posted
a late 80's acid house classic.
i prefer the candi staton vocal over this the jamie principle one myself.

Bryan Adams - Run To You

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCBASt507WA

An anthem of the 80s, pounding rock music for driving fast on country roads to. Still sounds good. Fuckin killer bassline, i think that makes the tune, gives it that extra something very special. Reckless is one of my all time favourite albums. Its in my top ten. Its not a 'cool' choice. I dont care about that.

I was gonna spread all my 7" singles collection out and take a pic of them cos i love all of them, too much hassle right now though. I sold a faie few when i was skint which is regrettable now. One of the first bands i got really into before i got into indie was Queen, I had nearly all of their singles. That collection would be worth a mint now.

I remember in school one of the older, bigger and tougher lads calling me over "come 'ere mush". Gulp, wtf have i done to him ? Nothing. He'd heard that i was a Queen fan,and asked me loads of questions about them. I knew all the answers. I was his mate from then on as i was judged to be a 'proper fan'..lol...

Music is a great way to make friends, especially at school. You tend to be judged very largely on your music taste.

Oh I got all obsessed with Bryan Adams & when Reckless came out I went & tracked down two other Bryan Adams albums. All good albums... Then came that fucking Robin Hood tune that was number one all fucking year in... what, 1991(?)... & that was it, got rid of the fucking lot lmao
 
yeah he lost whatever 'cred' he had for a while there. It stopped me listening to Reckless for years. I eventually forgot about that Robin Hood thing and just enjoyed the songs on Reckless for what they were; great rock tracks.
