Garg, one word comes to mind with you last post……
NICE!
80's Rock
-
this is about 80’s music. or better yet, 80’s rock.
I’ll counter with none other than The Cure. The Cure does love songs.
does The Cure count as 80’s rock? or is rock only hairbands and such as punk etc.

this makes for a classic 80’s breakup song, after you listen to those.

Ummm… Metallica? The only good band from the 80s.
-
i like everything from the 80’s. but metallica is definitely the best.

I haven’t seen Dirty Work in forever.
Here is an awesome 80’s song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqUPApCUt90

LOL, there’s a plumbing company in town that managed to get that number in Phoenix 602-867-5309 and they use it in their comercials on the radio.

By they way you guys aparently lived a diferent part of the 80s than me.
Van Halen, Def Leppard, Dire Straits, AC/DC, Rush, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Motley Crue, Ozzy, Tom Petty, Pink Floyd and of Course Metalica. I still have all of these bands on my Ipod.
You won’t find any gay crap like wham or bon jovi…

80’s music was good.
Nice list dezrtfish
-
you forgot Blue oyster cult, and Emerson, Lake, and palmer
-
Night Ranger is missing too (and I am NOT talking about Sister Christian).
Charlie Sexton rocked… some awesome guitar riffs.
And sorry, but you left AC/DC off your list…
and Quiet Riot… -
You also forgot Styx, REO Speedwagon, Guns N’ Roses, Don Henley, John Fogerty, Genesis, and it’s offshoots Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel (arguably the most talented singer/songwriter in the 80’s).
I agree with your list with a few notable exceptions, fish.
AC/DC, Floyd, and Rush did their best work in the 70’s, by far.
And Ozzy sucked after he left Sabbath. It irritates me to no end that such a genius could so completely roll over and pump out cookie cutter garbage after being in one of the most defining rock bands of all time. The drug binges definitely took their toll.
Here’s a love song for you. Ties in with another thread currently being discussed. UP THE IRONS!
-
Pink Floyd may have done their best work in the 70’s, but Roger Waters Radio KAOS was an excellent album (especially when stoned and listening to it on CD on repeat… the Morse code at the beginning and the end just wraps around and you start all over…
And you can’t mention the 80’s and leave off Billy Idol…
-
Nice List DF,
I’ll add a few more nice list.Here’s a few more: Slayer, Guns n roses, The Smiths, The Pixies, The Clash, Kiss, Dead kennedy’s, The Ramones, Red Hot Chili’s…
-
Kommander, if you add Black Flag to your list, I would have to list you more as a Punk fan… :wink:

Best list in thread, minus Guns n Roses who annoy me to no end.
@ncscswitch:

Hell yes!
Also I would add Descendents to my list:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=8rxmPFy7zSsIm pretty sure about 1/3 of what i listen to is 80’s punk/hardcore.
-
Take the skinheads bowling, in your…… bitchin’ camaro.
Yes, Switch, I completely forgot Billy Idol. The 3 leather clad dancers in the “white wedding” video always brighten my day when I see them :-).
-
Truth be told, I have VERY screwed up music taste.
I kept my cassettes arranged in alphabetical order. The first two groups were ABBA and AC/DC…
The Alan Parsons Project is by far my favorite group (by far some of the BEST instrumentals ever done… not surprising since Alan Parsons produced Dark Side of the Moon…). I own every single album they have ever done (I bought my first CD player due to them not releasing their albums after Ammonia Avenue on cassette)
I have my radio in my office at work tuned to the Classical station (I love me some Wagner!)
In my CD changer in my car I have Witness (an awesome late 80’s 1-album band with Debbie Davis doing lead vocals), Kansas, Billy Idol, Hoobastank, Golden Earing and Regina Specter. (now THAT is screwed up!)
I have a serious fetish for strong and distinct female vocalists (Kim Carnes, Kim Wilde, Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Tyler, Jamie O’Neal, etc.)
And when I am youtube surfing I often bring up Avenue Q or Wicked musical tunes… (The Internet is for Porn!)
Did I mention that I also like Waylon Jennings and Hank Williams (Sr.)?
As I said… completely screwed up…
