80's music.

[gazgolf1]

I thought I would start a thread for the lovers of 80's music.

Now the 80's for me were when I did my best drinkin, I could back up and I could spew and keep goin.
I saw bands like the Oils, Inxs, The Angels, Uncanny Xmen, Machinations, Cheap Trick, the Models, 1927, Nirvana, Hoodoos, Icehouse at Pubs and clubs.
I went to bars like Tracks, The Underground, Images, The Playroom, The Patch, The Court Jester, Rock Arena, Bombay Rock etc
And most of all I had $ drinks when it actually meant $ drinks, when you could walk up to the bar and grab 6 bourbon and cokes for $6, put em down and grab 6 more, jobs done.
FFS if you knew someone who worked for the Brisbane city Council you were golden at the Council Club.
Now the music for me still has'nt been beat, you can keep your 90's stuff, get ****ed Thom Yorke and your mates. 2000's have not inspired me yet.

I still look for the 80's gear, I like the Aussie stuff, I have seen lots of 80's bands in the last few years but I like to look at what was big in the US but not here. Til Tuesday were big and lead singer Aimee Mann still performs but the early gear rocks my world.
For a new band their songs were great, love Aimee's bass and the keyboards and guitars really fill out the songs.
Here are 4 of their best.

Edit again: One of my favorite songs that is (fingers crossed) from the 80's.

Nirvana are only just sorta maybe a band of the 80's. A good list though.

What about Grandmaster Flash, Whodini, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, et al. Whether you like rap or hate it, it was the last truly new genre of music to have been invented.

I agree Gaz, the 80's was the ducks'nuts as far as music was concerned (especially here in Aus)

I was huge Oils fan ... loved 'em and still do :)

One of their best right here 8-)

ZZ Top, coolest beards ever

and not to mention ELO, they would have to be BBBruces favourite

(oh dear that was probably 70's)

[f00re]

I believe you always remember the music you grew up with with as the best. For me, it was mid 90's when I started taking interest. mostly the Aussie rock/punk bands. But I have come to take appreciation for 80's music like early INXS, U2, the Cure and Icehouse

[gazgolf1]

A personal favorite!

[Jarro]

hang on a sec Gaz, the kid might have some cred ..... he likes the Gunners :shock:

[AndyP]

Gaz, there are plenty of current bands that are influenced by 80s electo-pop, if that's what we call it. Does Cut Copy do anything for you?

[gazgolf1]

Does Cut Copy do anything for you?

I think I used it in Excel spreadsheet today

[adlo]

80's is back, influencing tons of music if late.

But I get the feeling gaz, and Jarro, are more into 80s rock.

[AndyP]

Cool....

I was very much retro in my music tastes until the last year where we've done the OZgolf music swap, and I've been to Big Day Out. There is some great current music out there if you can be bothered to find it.

[Jarro]

And you'd be right.

Hey, it's what we grew up with, so it's gonna be hard to let it go :mrgreen:

[gazgolf1]

Pee you are missing the point of this thread, I like a lot of the current bands, Adlo's ravings put me onto Temper Trap but this thread is about 80's music, not about some dipshit who saw the Thompson Twins on Rage and said lets put a keyboard in the band.
I'm remembering when Robin Zander from Cheap Trick had a beer with us after a show at the Mansfield.

[adlo]

"I believe I might be of service......." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4d7Wp9kKjA)

[henno]

Who says you have to let it go?

It's not like a passport: you don't have to give up one style of music in order to listen to another. ;-)

[Jarro]

When i say let it go, i mean "be bothered to try and find anything better than it"

[TheNuclearOne]

The Cars were awesome drinking music and the Chisel Gold album (involved some 70's too) was another. Chisel was particularly brilliant late in the party when things were dying down.

[AndyP]

Adlo's ravings put me onto Temper Trap but this thread is about 80's music,
I put adlo onto Temper Trap FWIW.

Maybe I'm too young for hardcore 80s music, as I don't know some of the artists that you are listing. There are plenty of Greatest Hits from artists that I can relate and listen to, but some of the more obscure songs lose me.

[MegaWatty]

How about a bit of Ratcat in there.

I went to see a pretty popular Perth band from the 80s called V Capri play on Sunday at the Casino. They had originals plus covers of 80s rock songs including Noiseworks, Oils, INXS etc etc. I'll be going to see them again in a few weeks time.

I happen to work with the drummer. Check 'em out on Wikipedia with their glam look. WA guys might know them, or at least know their lead singer from channel 7.

[Bruce Dickinson]

Spandau Ballet tickets on sale next week with Tears for Fears as support.....hopefully they'll be good as Duran Duran were at the V Festival

[LarryLong]

Now this is what I expected to see in the 80's music thread. :lol: I've got a mixed CD of 80's cheese - Wham!, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, The Human League, Dead or Alive, J Geils, Rick Springfield. I love it.

:oops:

[sms316]

FM 97.3 in Brisbane is my new favourite radio station. Plays plenty of 80's cheese.

Some quality one hit wonders too;

Grayson Hugh - Talk it over.
Underworld - Underneath the radar.

And a few other "hits" which will be finding their way onto the iPod.

I have to admit, I was a little shocked at Bruce D's post as well.

Another nod to Run DMC and Beastie Boys here.

All around, the 80s were and awesome decade.

Gunners, Motley Crue, Van Halen (w/Dave). Def Leppard (before they turned ghey), Depeche Mode, New Order, The Cars, Billy Idol.

So much variety.

Yoss
as you get older you come to appreciate some things that 20 years ago you hated. For example Adlo will rave about the Cut in 20 years.

Its not Iron Maiden at Rod Laver arena but I'll go and enjoy a real band playing good live music.

All we need now is Van Halen to reform with Diamond Dave Lee Roth and its happy days. My biggest regret is not seeing Motley Crue and Motorhead when they toured a few years ago....

So you didn't like Gary Cherone then 'eh ? ;)

VH with DLR was certainly the best lineup, although i think Mr Roth would have a hard time keeping up the stage antics these days ;)

[Swathe]

Twisted sister, Slayer, Death

Loved 80's metal!

[goughy]

Had to get to the second page to see someone had posted Madness and Simple Minds! At least I wasn't the first. Live in City of Light is a fantastic Simple Minds double cd! Used to borrow a friends vinyl of it.

[Johnny Canuck]

VH without Dave is crap.

Sammy took VH to a cheese level.

Gary is unmentionable.

[PerryGroves]

Was never into the metal, but living on the beaches we loved Australian Crawl (I can still listen to Sirocco) and Midnight Oil/ INXS always played close by.

By the late 80's, it was Sydney guitar pop, Falling Joys (Lock It), Tall Tales and True (Trust) , The Clouds.

Would attach a link but youtube is banned at work.

[Yossarian]

I like just's list.

Early Hunters and Collectors was masterful, in fact I'm listening to their early stuff on the Pod at the moment.....42 wheels, the slab, carry me

I saw VH with Cherone in it and it was dire, worst gig I've ever been to by a considerable margin.

5150 with Sammy Hagar is a great album

[Jarro]

VH without Dave is crap.

Sammy took VH to a cheese level.

Gary is unmentionable.

VH with Sammy was downright disgusting !! Sammy Hagar needs to be shot .... too much wanking off onstage and not enough content being applied to the content in the music.

Gary was good in Extreme i thought, but he didn't cut the mustard in VH.

Talking Heads actually took the term " Burnin down the house" from the Funk Kings, P Funk. Apparantly, the drummer (who was Tina Weymouth's (the Bass Player) husband) of Talking heads went to a P Funk concert and came back yelling out P Funks war cry, "Burn down the House" ie get up and dance! The band (TH) just wrote a song around it. P Funk were one of Talking Heads's major inspirations. Listen to this live recording of one of their songs that contains one of the great Lead guiter solos of all time. P Funk, Yeah!!!!

(yes I know it is from 1979 not 1980)

A few good clips from Poison and The Cure. I used to write their band names on the pencil case. Funny stuff.

Rick Astley? :shock: WTF is going on with his clothes. What about the blue get up he's wearing in the video. :smt078

Best concert I attended in the 80's was an Oils concert at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in about 89. Unbelievable how pumped everyone was, including the 15 or 20 Garrett lookalikes jumping around down near the stage.

Awesome thread :)

Like many others, I grew up in the 80s and love the music. Hoodoos, Mentals, Split Enz, the Oils - the list goes on. My ipod has very little from after about 1992.

Two quick stories - we go through annual Quality Assurance audits and the regular auditors were away one year. They were replaced by another guy who turned out to have played bass guitar for Mi-Sex. He was chuffed I remembered them. And on another forum I belong to (a cricket one), one of the members there used to be in The Go-Betweens.

Big DS fan here. Hated Walk of Life. Loved everything else.

Tunnel of Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWX5yXMqxeA) is a favourite of mine. The guitar solo at the end (outre ?) still gives me serious goosebumps.

Love Over Gold (the album) is pure genius.

Lots, I have all the albums for starters, on vinyl of course. I saw The Church play before they became well known. Waits, Pop, Verlaine and Beefheart were 4 very influential 70s/80s artists. Most of their stuff has been covered by the likes of Bowie etc. Easy to throw up mainstream chart toppers, but I preferred a lot of the more raw stuff.

Was the Proclaimers 80's or early 90's?

80s - definitely.

[BrisWesty]

Was a theme song when I got my licence in 87.

Love the Ferris Bueller version with the Ferrari at the start.

Funny, just downloaded this song from Sanity yesterday! Takes me straight back to Ferris too.

Beat me to it Grunt. Oingo Boingo were the best band of the 80s.

Forgot how much I liked them,
Is hard as I lost all my tapes after some knob stole the brief case type holder out of my car. Probably thought it was a real brief case and had cash in it. Ended up getting over 60 cassettes, I think he/she won big time.

With 500 Miles, this is still probably one of if not the most popular song we've done in our band

Can't believe I forgot these guys. Cool World was like the first song I ever played in front of someone. Bugger the utube tag, too many songs in this list.

Love Shack was the anthem of my last year of High School in '89.
Taco Bills in Mildura was particularly lax in their ID requirements and would do laybacks through the night and played Love Shack 5 times an hour.

I had a girlfriend in the late 80's - the Pixies put her in the mood ;) It was song #1 on a mix tape she made for me too (ah, teen love!).

Ok, so I've stayed away for a little while but love this thread. However there are some obvious ommissions (not saying all are great but in the interest of my anal completeness side) and here they are:

Pat Benetar
Howard Jones
Bruce Springsteen (sorry but he had some classic anthem songs)
Talk Talk
Black Box, Technotronix (ok I know but I did see MARRS and S-Express)
Violent Femmes - apologies if this has been given already
Robbie Robertson (I know possibly not your guys style but I do recall a great : :smt060 time "somewhere down the crazy river")
Vanila Ice - hey it was the '80s!

Really sad thing is I worked for Warner Music (part time student job) from 1990-1992 and the WORST thing I had to do was take a van load of Vinyl and CDs to the shredding machine and watch these get churned - it still haunts me seeing Seventeen Seconds and Listen Like Thieves VIRGIN VINYL getting shredded!

Ok that's enough, but dips to Dire Straits (Telegraph Road still my favorite), New Order (Substance), The Cure, and others being on here.

That avatar is outstanding.

[s12raider]

Oh and of course Bryan Ferry

Oh and Sade

I could add Tina Turner but the NRL thing ruined it for me.

[s12raider]

And if Only I could read instructions it would be better to post my youtube....

Violent Femmes - apologies if this has been given already

Seeing the Violent Femmes in year 9 or 10 busking along the East Circular Quay promenade is a lifetime highlight. Quite literally - busking in the middle of Sydney, they performed for about an hour, giving fans a free show - up close and personal.

There were people hanging from the rafters. The old walkway coverage had people lined up along the roof getting all sorts of vantage points.

It will never, ever happen again. Interesting to read the other day that Brian Ritchie of the Violent Femmes has joined up with the remaining Midnight Oil crew (sans Peter Garrett).

[s12raider]

Yep never goign to happen again, bit like REM just before GREEN went big and after Document came out. 2000 people and Iwas up the front jumping up and down like a lunatic - and best thing was they played the early 80s stuff.
