Hey all any 80s hard rock fans in here, or if not what else dya like?!
-
Prince, Pet Shop Boys :-)
-
Bauhaus(okay so they started in 78), Sisters of Mercy, Ministry, Alien Sex Fiend, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, I like Depeche Mode but prefer their stuff from the 90's and on, the Cure, I like 80's gothic/industrial underground stuff.
-
After sufferring Radio 1 this morning I miss the 80's stuff .
My faves were bands like New Order, The Happy Mondays, U2 etc, but I did love some of the late 80's house stuff. 808 State springs to mind, along with names I've long forgotten.
Back in the day I could be found walking the streets dressed in ultra-baggy Pepe jeans, hooded paisley tops and Addidas trainers.
-
Depeche Mode, Comsat Angels... there was a lot of good stuff lurking in that decade :-)
-
Slayer, Nuclear Assault, Venom, Bathory, G-n-R, Bad Brains, Suicidal Tendencies, Men At Work, Sepultura, Death, too many to list really.
-
Yep G n R rules all, New order are cool I have all their albums :)
-
Futurist/New Romantic
ie: John Foxx, early HL ( travelogue era), A Flock of seagulls, Billy Idol Duran Duran etc.
80's for me were the best. I just returned from Australia ( I went back to aussie on my own for a year) and my younger brother had just left school .. He was a hip dude and it was like .. well kewl .. Kinda like a second childhood. Which really helped me as i was in a major depressed state ( Jill !!)
I remember one time we decided to bugger off to Caerphilly to see one of my bro's mates. five of us in my 3.0ltr Capri. They were skulling beer, Ol Tefal Head (Phil Elson) needed a piss but we were in the middle of Leicester in a traffic jam.
He said he was busting, so we said, "Look, leg it down between those shops and have a leak".
Which he duly did. Of course, he was halfway through syphoning the python when the traffic started moving again...
We screamed "C'mon Tefal, we're off". To which he came running out of the tunnel, dick hanging out pissing down his leg... "Don't leave me".. hehe. He was wearing grey trousers and had a great wet trouser track for the rest of the day !!
Same journey, now in Wales.. We caught up with a mini bus full of Nuns, as we started to overtake my brother hung his bare arse out the window at them ..full moon. He expected me to floor the throttle afterwards but I deliberately didn't ... You should of seen his embarresment as the nuns we're all pointing their fingers at him.
Evil Git aint I !!
Yup... the 80's rocked

That depends entirely on what you mean by "hard rock." No poodles for me, please.
The eighties of course spawned black/thrash/death metal, so there are a lot of important bands from that era, Sepultura being my favorite.
Then there's the hardcore punk scene in Washington DC which was very active in the eighties. (Minor Threat, Void, Rites Of Spring...)
And I like Dire Straits and the Smiths too. :-)
-
I was thinking of Saxon (80s right?) and a few others, more soft rock like Billy Idol and Whitesnake.
Smiths are good and Morrissey is still going isn't he :-)

:lol:
No guitar gods for you, I understand?
Even not for the humour of the "over-the-top" style?
-
This is probably sad, but my musical preferences haven't changed much since the 1980s.
Kraftwerk, Front 242, Depeche Mode, Nitzer Ebb, Front Line Assembly, Laibach, DAF, Einstürzende Neubauten, Yello ... Well, you know the drill.

I find the emphasis on image and theatrics unappealing.

Same here. You and I have *very* similar musical tastes for the most part.
I also enjoy The Cure, New Order, Kraftwerk, The Smiths/Morrissey, Siouxie & The Banshees, PIL, Soft Cell, Yazoo/Erasure, etc.
I grew up in Southern California, right when the California punk explosion happend, so was into that movement too: Social Distortion, Circle Jerks, Decendents, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, TSOL, X, Ill Repute, Suicidal Tendencies, etc.
-
Trance Dance (Swedish band) :lol:
-
Hoya!
@The_Editor

LOL I was only born in '85, so I can't remember any music of that era. I like the music for the Ghostbusters though :-P
-
Run DMC vs Aerosmith is a classic - so is Take on me - but more for the video.

Because, like always, it's only the bad, ugly and annoying things that get rehashed in retro-fashion?
Humanity will never learn from history. Or get good taste.
-
Hoya!
Sorry, but I do believe overall the 80's were terrible.

Yup, then again, in the 90`s we were saying how crap the 70`s were and how it was coming back into fashion.
I bet in 20 years time, we`ll still be here posting about how crap things were in 2004.
I wonder how soon it`ll be before people run out of ideas and end up with retro-retro style..
-
80s couldn't be all that bad, they spawned a few models of Amiga :-)
Also some of the stuff I like from the 80s is Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran, Def Leppard (just don't you say anything hehe), Suzanne Vega, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Genesis... Too many to list really.

Hoya!
Well, for some reason, it seems gays like the 80's hehe... ;-)
They have just spawned Metal, which is great. Other than that...

It's the decade when Bob Marley died (1983, to be precise) :cry:
