That 80’s Show.


Okay CC ... I’ll see your really bad Go West video — world’s worst dancer even by 80’s standards in a wife-beater making goofy sex faces — and raise you The Cure.



Your turn. Favourite 80’s band in the comments if you please.

Oooo, Love Cats… Good pick.

Impossible to pick a fave. The Clash, Magazine, Art of Noise, Peter Gabriel, Devo, Talking Heads, XTC, Ultravox and Public Image (PIL) would all be at the top of that list.

I like Red Tory's list.

I mean, I really like Red Tory's list.

To which I would add the 'Two-Tone' bands: Madness (already listed above), the Beat, The Selecter, plus The Replacements, The Cramps, early R.E.M., 'X', Violent Femmes, and The Blasters.

I also liked some of the 'smartass' bands and their smartass songs like these guys, and these guys.

And, just for something different, not a rickroll.

Personally, back in the 80's I was fascinated by The Spooons. although I was never fond of "Nova Heart". "Romantic Traffic" was awesome, though.

dire straits
U2
guns & roses

(and RT's list)

Otherwise the 80's were a dreary musical desert (IMO).
