In the cocaine fuelled 80's there was a hell of a mix.

Trio - Da, Da, Da

"A dozen notes, two letters?" It's a fucking hit!  (have a cigar!)


Disco/Funk tried to hang on..

Kool & The Gang - Celebration


Rock went all spandexy and corpsy

Alice Cooper ~ Poison (Lyrics)

AOR went a bit soppy

REO Speedwagon - Keep On Loving You

...and sometimes performed in a HL2 set.
Toto - Rosanna (HQ Audio)

The romantics went all European (and corpsey):
Visage - Fade To Grey

Reggae thought it was still in with a chance:

RED RED WINE (ORIGINAL)

..eeeww.
Cutting this off right here and now.
I was going to hit the shitty end of the 80's (and christ knows there was loads of it) stick with stuff like Kelly Marie, but I ran into kajagoogoo and actually listened to the lyrics that I'd ignored 20 years ago, and it's turned my guts..

So I'm out.

Lord help us eh.  I found the 80's to be both wonderful and totally shite at the same time.  Dont ever, ever mention Spandoooo Fuckin Ballet in my presence  


Metal did extremely well  


Pop wise...  this was good:
Adam & The Ants - 'Kings of the Wild Fronteir' on TotP

Lord help us eh.  I found the 80's to be both wonderful and totally shite at the same time.

True of most decades.

Age & memories affect the old music & you may find yourself singing along to something that turned your stomach at the time but now reminds you of an old episode in your life.

[KingDazza]

Yeah I generally still like and dislike the same now as I did then though. 

[Wooster]

The Kajagoogoo line that turned my guts was:
Come on baby
Won't you dilate
Mmm, try a little harder

ewwwwwww!

reminds me how sick I felt back then hearing it .... ah memories...
