Favourite tune of the 80's

One of the best videos from the time.

 

One of my real favourites

 

Not my favourite as such, but up there with the best....

 

Wanted to put this in the disco thread but its 1980....

 

Loved these, proper entertaining on stage.

 

this one is still played quite a bit at mabel mansions Edit - 1979 sorry!

 

I spent the early 80's trying to persuade fellow musician friends that hectic, trippy disco music was the way forward, but they were a bunch of punks.
In the end I gave up and joined a reggae band, had kids and watched the rave scene develop without me.

 

Really enjoyed the rave scene mate here in Manchester
Mate you really missed out

 

two of my fave tracks.

 

You're younger than me. I was a naughty boy when I was younger and if I hadn't "settled down" I'd be dead like my best friends all are. No regrets really, the survivors to a man had kids and had to get sensible, those that didn't perished much to my annoyance. It's a funny old life Mr Dave.

 

Glad you settled down Mr Z
We'd of missed you

 

No you wouldn't.
It's a continual pain in my heart that of my 3 best friends, 2 didn't make 40 and the other is paralysed in a wheelchair. All from misuse of drugs. The 2 dead buddies merely drank too much which is why I occaisionally get the hump about necking it.

 

Yeah I'm trying to cut down as well ,slurp

 

Awwww bring back memorys, of having a huge identity crisis, In the late 80's I was doing my A levels I was a cross goth/punk/indie/hippy/grunger/metaler ! I loved everything still do ( apart from the Mission that sounds very dated now), from the Jam and stranglers.....Cult, Sisters of Mercy, Dead can Dance , Guns n Roses, Fields of Neph, Pop will eat itself, NIN, wonderstuff, spear of destiny, Clannad, you get the picture ...........was never into main stream , but my favourites from those days was New Model Army, though I never wore clogs and Capercaillie- had to edit forgot the Cranberries ! There are many great tracks you peeps have put up thanks for the memories.....although there are a few which I wish I had not listened to and will be stuck in my head all blooming week...I'm to shy shy arghhhhh

 

Lost count of the amount of times I went to see new model Army, never bought one of their records though?

 

When I lived in France there was this lad who used to play The Bunnymen, and Teardrop Explodes endlessly.....it kind of seeped under my skin after a while, I particularly like Wilder, by The Teardrop Explodes, I don't think there's a duff track on it....for example....

 

As a species we are devo(lving), the opposite of evolving. 1975, but well ahead of it's time...
