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.
