I know there are probably several documentations on this discussion somewhere in the MB archives, but the google toolbar applies suction force to the genitalia, so i'll begin a new one. SONGS/BANDS included: Oingo Boingo: Little Girls, Gray Matter, Private Life Madness: House of Fun, Our House (of course), Night Boat to Cairo The Cure: Lovecats, Lullaby, Just Like Heaven, A Forest? Joy Division: Isolation, Colony (okay, Closer was 1980 but whatever) New Order: Blue Monday Talking Heads: Burning Down the House, Once in a Lifetime Police: Don't Stand So Close to Me (original, not the fucking 86 version) there are many more i would put down, but i want to leave room for other opinions. Let the mullets and loud clothing commence! |

The Smiths of course! |

I must recommend Tuxedomoon. The album highlight is supposed to be "Half Mute", but I urge you to try "Desire" first. They get more and more recognition these days which can only make me happy. |
||||||||

of course ! |

descendents, youth brigade, devo, slayer, talking heads, men without hats, oingo boingo, fugazi, blondie, i'm sure there's more. |

does anyone else here like Madness? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Holy fuck I didn't think anybody else here liked Tuxedomoon and I totally agree on the album totem pole. And then Divine and Holy Wars. Reininger is charisma. Other 80s stuff I boner for, artist+fave song- The Smiths (Cemetery Gates), Penguin Cafe Orchestra (Music for a Found Harmonium), Prince (I Would Die 4 U), Eyeless in Gaza (Letters to She). |

Echo & the Bunnymen Propaganda The The Earthleakage would kill me if I didn't mention Frankie goes to Hollywood. Hell, he might kill me anyway. |

"if you leave" by omd is probably THE most 80's song in history. I've really been listening to Maicheal Jackson's thriller, beat it, and billy jean. Totally incredible music. I remember seeing him do the moonwalk on the grammys and I rate that experience up with 9/11, Kennedy assasination, the fall of the berlin wall, space shuttle challenger explosion. It really was mind bending. He was a magical performer and it's a shame it has been over shadowed by his 90's waco jaco strangeness. I wasn't ever really a die hard Jackson fan, but he was incredible during the 80's. |

I remember kids magazines would have a guide how YOU, yes YOU could do the moonwalk YOURSELF, including illustrations. |

i also remember video games made about the dumbest crap... i remember, in grade school, going to this girls house and playing this domino's pizza game on her computer that she actually paid money for. i beat that damn game and i don't remember if i ever saw that girl in schools afterwards. with my luck, she is probably the hottest girl in the world now and she still has that game to remind her of her true love.... irony.... ugh... |

best song... Propaganda vs Frankie Goes to Hollywood - "Machinery / Relax" then I liked: Bronsky Beat New Order Depeche Mode Pet Shop Boys Dead or Alive Sigue Sigue Sputnik Eighty Wonder ('cos I was in love with Patsy Kensit) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Pet Shop Boys Dead Or Alive Communards The Smiths Depeche Mode B-52's A-HA OMD and so many other ones:) That was a great time to live and there was so many great bands then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i was always found of depeche mode too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Baby Wants to Ride is the best song ever. |
||||||||
|
|

Toto - Africa |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe someone can name this band for me... it was a song called "Major Tom" and it was obviously a ripoff of Bowie's space oddity, but i liked the melody in the song, especially the chorus. Who's the band? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The best album of the eighties- Scritti Pollitti Also: Best blue eyed soul album ever, biggest white influnce on black music (for a change) since Kraftwerk ever and most acceptable girly voiced singing by a man ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't agree it's the 'best' but the rest I totally agree with. |
||||||||

[b]"if you leave" by omd is probably THE most 80's song in history.[/b] I love them, Souvenir is just about my favorite song ever because of Paul Humphreys. |

Santo Dios, so many to remeber, maybe I'll list just a couple of artists from my head; Joy Division Echo and the Bunnymen The Cure Depeche Mode Devo The Clash Gary Numan Siouxie and the Banshees New Order Japan Front Line Assembly Nitzer Ebb Front 242 |
||||||||

Oddioblender, the first thing that came in my mind when i saw the topic was "Major Tom", hehe. It`s one of my favorite songs of all time...it`s Peter Schilling by the way. And there is another version of this song which i heard before Schilling`s one look at JANUARY 2. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh wow, are they? Makes me proud to be a Texan! Have you heard that Fixx track called 'A Letter to Both Sides' from the Fletch soundtrack? It's blissful.. I wish I had it on mp3, I'd send it to you. But it's only on vinyl as far as I know :(. |
||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
