THE 80s MUSIC THREAD

[Davemcc]

B-52s
Talking Heads
Tom Tom Club
Yaz

Wow, I must be weird. I was only fond of 4 of those groups back in the day. This thread is giving me excellent reminders of certain discs that I should have now, though.

 

[mazersteven]

There was music in the '80's?!

I thought Disco killed music.

First video played on MTV, when MTV mattered.

Let's not forget THE CARS, smart pop rock with a new wavy twist.

I saw it at midnight, 1981 or 1982 or whatever it was when MTV debuted. Was of course hooked on MTV when I was younger but nowadays I don't watch it at all. VH1 Classic is what MTV used to be and I do occasionally watch that.

I believe it was August of 81, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, I at times watch VH-1 Classic.

Lets not forget the classic movies, and songs of the 80's.

Did someone say "The Cars"

 

[mazersteven]

I always thought she was HOT

That picture of phoebe would be better if it were taken about 5 seconds later...

Who could forget Ducky and Blaine?

Ok, so another trivia question that would be related: 'Can I borrow your underpants for 10 minutes'?

I pretty much disliked most of the '80s music. There were exceptions, however, and no doubt there were many styles during that period. Can't believe no one has mentioned Stevie Ray Vaughn. Wow. The man could play. I despised (and still do) The Cars and Duran Duran. I didn't much care for the Police or Sting, either, although I will admit their was a lot of creativity there. Seventies is more my style. GFR, Pink Floyd, early Skynyrd, Doobies, Chicago, Outlaws, Montross, CCR, Poco, The Mac, Linda Ronstadt, Eagles, throw in some R&B and maybe some Waylon...now you're talking.

We old guys gotta stick together, Duke.

 

[The Dukester]

Yeah, there was a concert in another part of the building on my prom night. Linda Ronstadt, the Eagles with a warm up band (I can't rememberwho). I should have skipped my Senior prom

Only problem is we're getting so old we fart dust

 

[stratman]

Boy I haven't heard that line in a long, long time! LOL
