The Stranglers- Golden Brown

Bubba po

It might have veins, but I don't believe you can check your pulse there.

what would scooby do

Now everyone knows where Nirvana stole *their* music from

I must resist lowering the tone, must resist

NiGhtCRaWlEr

And 'may the road Rise With You.. '

Bubba po

To be fair, Cobain always acknowledged their inspiration.

But the Pixies were better.

NiGhtCRaWlEr

finally gone through this thread in its entirety (sp) and noticed theres a few 'pre-80's ' tracks listed.. and just wondering how many of the posters really remember the track as such or were really young/had older siblings that played them???

Bubba po

And "Nothing Compares 2 U" was 1990. Never mind, eh?

I wanted to add MC Hammer- You can't touch this, but alas its 1990

NiGhtCRaWlEr

Why Thank You, Bubba, thats very kind of you to say.

All goes to show what a rubbish decade it was for music generally.

Of all of them (decades of music that is...) from the start of the pop revolution in the 50's were better than the 80's. By the start of the 90's nobody much cared anymore about 'pop'.

The undeground was going overground...

NiGhtCRaWlEr

The Punk revolution of the mid/late seventies showed the 'kids' that music was 'theirs' for the taking, hence some of the kids took it and ran and ran... some tripped at the first hurdle.

Bubba po

Sonic'

I agree most of the 80's was full of crap music certainly in the pop world

unclebuck

OK, there some exceptions obviously.

But on the whole, the big permy hairdos, the makeup, the overblown baggy suits, the pastel colours... and the sh*tty insipid little songs they produced.... mostly painfully bad...

NiGhtCRaWlEr

So your *really * talking about the Dallas-esque shoulder pads, miami vice pastel shade suits and the dodgy Kevin Keegan hairstyles more than the music ?

what would scooby do

Twas written by Prince in late 1984 - Sinead's was a later cover so a point each

unclebuck

No, I'm talking about the likes of Howard Jones, Nick Kershaw, Thompsen Twins, Human League, Depeche Mode.... etc... etc....

Looking back, I reckon it was a 'rum old do'...

Bubba po

Throw off your mental chains, UB.

what would scooby do

thing is they still held a tune and had unique melodies - catchy is the phrase I guess

what would scooby do

Is that a new song ?

Bubba po

Human League and Depeche Mode didn't get my hero-worship because I've always tended towards the alternative. But "Don't you want me" is a deserved "Hall of Fame" track, and D.M have a fanatical following.

what would scooby do

+ HL's "being boiled "track was outstanding at the time...very dark..

unclebuck

Nick, or Howard?? I can't remember...

My experience was that it was a decade dominated by producers more then artists. Tever Horn Stock, Aitkin, and Wassisface, Jam and Lewis, Chris Hughes...
