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.

Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!

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 :-)

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.
