    Default 80's music.

    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.

    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.

    ZZ Top, coolest beards ever

    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

    What's funny is that he'll have no idea what you are talking about.

    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?

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

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

    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.

    And you'd be right.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
