1980's

I've been playing (at the request of my youngest son, you know the one) Huang Chung ("China", Dance Hall Days") and Scritti Politti ("Wood Beez", "Perfect Way") - pulled a couple of vinyl albums out of my collection - what a gay day!

All that comes to my mind from the 1980's is China Crisis & OMD.

Dont get me started on the 1980s!!!

Talking Heads, Road to Nowhere
Just about anything by the Eurythmics/Annie Lennox

I missed a few :-

Tpau - China in Your Hands

Tommy James & The Shondells - Crimson & Clover

U2 - With Or Without You

Van Morrison - Days Like This

Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around

Vangelis - Chariots Of Fire

Tight Fit - The Lion Sleeps Tonight

The Dooleys - Wanted

Stevie Nicks - Talk To Me

Stereophonics - Have A Nice Day

Smokie - For A Few Dollars More

Sandpipers - Guantanemera

Rupert Holmes - The Pina Colada Song

Randy Vanwarmer (Yes, that is his name) - Just When I Needed You Most

Randy Edelman - Uptown Uptempo Woman


You will find them all LEGALLY on You Tube :)

Stereophonics and Wet Wet Wet in the 80s?

And A few more I think are from the 80's ...........

Piet Veerman - if You Give Me Your Heart

Phil Collins - In Too Deep

Peter Gabriel - Games Without Frontiers (Although this one could be earlier)

Paul Young - Softly Whispering I Love You

Mike And The Mechanics - The Living Years

Johnny Horton - Sink The Bismark (This one really pissed me off, It took an American to remind us of our history)

Marti Webb - Take That Look off Your Face

Madonna - Like A Prayer

M People - Search For The Hero






Some of these may be slightly earlier or slightly later, but all are worth a listen.

Grandmasterflash, erik B & Rakim, Public Enemy - WHAT A DECADE

Wet Wet Wet did most of their stuff in the 80s, though the song Ringpiece mentioned was mid 90s.
I love the 80s stuff, favourite era for party music

Seeing Grandmaster and Public Enemy at Bestival. You've left out KRSone from that list though.

Love that song!

Best decade ever!!

I have stated that I remember these songs roughly from 1978 to 1980 to 1995........ It was a place for half decent music if you were selective.

In my heed KRS is more 90's than 80's. Don't know when he started out though. WOOP WOOP

Stereophonics that I know of didn't form til '92 and the first album was '97

Age of The New Romantic

Ultravox
Adam & The Ants
Bowie
Visage
Spandau Ballet

on the Rock scene

Bon Jovi
Whitesnake
Def Leppard
Foreigner
Reo Speedwagon
Meat Loaf

oooh the memories....

Meatloaf.

Great music but the problem to many was all his songs were too long.
Biggest disaster he ever made was mixing Home By Now/No Matter What together.

Some boy band called 'Boyzone' took 'No Matter What' and made a big hit of it but the rare versions around where meatloaf does it by itself are brilliant but rare as I stated.
