80's music.

[PerryGroves]

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.

Nice Daves, tell me the story about you in the paisley shirt belting out Unguarded Moment at the Belconnen RSL.

I had to google your man Beefheart

[Yossarian]

How can no one have posted this gem?

What drums!

Or this peach

OH YEAH!

Micheal Clarke's fav song apparently

[damoocow]

Saw them live at Surfers Paradise raceway in '87. Still one of my favourite concerts. Interesting crowd. Bikies everywhere.

You must have been in a better spot than me - I thought it was one of the worst gigs I had ever been to - sound was terrible, venue terrible. Pretty sure Rose Tattoo were one of the supports and they seemed to be more interested than ZZ Top.

Click on go advanced. Select the you tube icon.

A pop up box will appear. Type in the name of the vid, it will appear above the box. Then copy everything after the = symbol in the URL and paste it in between the brackets that appear.

It is ok, I have posted the three decent songs from the 80's already BD.

Still slow on this, where is this you tube icon you speak of?

[Cosmopolite]

Ah, my favourite music era, love the eighties. I used to go and see a band that did 80s covers about 10 years ago. Still enjoying seeing a lot of them live these days. I am off to see Spandau Ballet and Tears for Fears in April.

Yeah, I was in a fairly good spot. A bit of a surreal experience with all of the bikies in the audience. I'd missed out on seeing ZZ Top play at the Arena in Nimes, France the previous year when I was on a Contiki-like tour (out voted), so I was stoked to see them on the Gold Coast.

This explain why I turned out the way I did I was an 11 year old walking around blaring this stuff in my walkman.

Most definitely NSFW. Proceed with caution.
