80's / Eighties

Heard this the other day and had major elem school flashbacks

Oh... so this is where Blood Orange gets his aesthetic.

This is a great little three part series about the making of one of the best 80's songs and videos of all time!

How is this an 80s thread without Killing Joke's Eighties

I'm following this up with one of my absolute favorites from the decade. Both LPs are fire and although the second is the big one, I'm always drawn to the first album. Neither album has been repressed, which is a shame.

Their version of Suspicious Minds is one of my all time favorite covers

Re-reading Simon Reynolds Rip It Up and Start Again. Such a great overview of post-punk. I read a bit before bed and make my next day Tidal playlist.

Didn't every 80's hair band have that one power ballad

Frozen 2 had one too...

That was awesome! Thank you. I can recall having my mind blown by that when it first came out, and if I remember correctly, that video did at least as much to put MTV on the map as MTV did for A-ha.

Sometimes songs you haven't heard in ages just pop in your head for no real reason. This one popped in my head right after I woke up this morning.

 

[jamieanderson1968]

Ha, that song came up when I playing a random playlist the other day. Such a great tune.

I think the album came out in 1989 so I shared it in this thread, but their music straddles that line with the 90's for me.

A couple of somewhat forgotten favorites from the mid to late 80's.

This video is really silly, and the song is rather dated sounding at this point, but, man, I loved this one when it was getting airplay. I wish there was a cleaner version of this single version out on YouTube.



Jane was, is and forever will be my favorite Go-Go.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that first one. But it’s so fun! Thanks for sharing!

There's an extended mix version available on YouTube, but, for me, the song is so simple and repetitive that it actually works better in that single version. I wish that tune was on Spotify. Last I checked, Peter Wolf's solo material was pretty sparse.

I’m just glad spotify finally added “Pure” by the Lightning Seeds. I’ve been checking on that one for months and today I checked and there it was.

Not sure why all of these out of left field 80's tunes have been popping in my head as of late. Does anybody remember this one? I remember it getting a little bit of airplay back in the mid-80's, which, listening back to it now for the first time in a few decades, is pretty remarkable.
