Music of the 80`s .......

[Legz]

They reckon the music you liked in you mid teens will influence you for the rest of your life.

I thoroughly believe this...I was 6-16 in the 80's and love that decades music more than any

Bit of euro pop for ya

I just looked at the charts for when I was 17 and what a fantastic selection of songs, including 2 versions of "Iko Iko", and to this day Amazulu at Keele Uni is one of my top 10 gigs.

Just ‘Hearsay’ clearly….

 

[Ex Footy Legs]

This is a duet with Alexander ONeill who I have seen live
I'm waiting for the posters who only want to criticise !!!!

I went to see him (!) at Newcastle city hall, reckon it was 89’ or 90’ …..were you there ?

Nah saw him at Billingham Forum

 

[Glover_elbow]

Still love it....

Hate that song

 

[r00fie1]

Anything with Terry Hall gets my vote

 

[Fatsuma]

Always liked this little ditty!

Fun fact 1: the song was eternal, with the groove playing into a loop at the end of the record.
Fun fact 2: I was due to see them play live but they broke up the night before, after the drummer reportedly went ballistic and smashed up their kit following a gig in Peterborough.

And this belter

The band I've seen the most ever.

 

[wyliefan]

And this!!! I'll stop now

Saw him/them late last month in Liverpool. Great night. Seen him many times previous too.

Anne-Marie Ruddock,

 

[Glover_elbow]

From the best producer of the 80s if not one of the best of all time. An absolute quintessentially 80s production

 

[Glover_elbow]

And another trevor horn classic

I'm not generally fan of Mary Ann Hobbs, but I think her brilliant programme featuring David Sylvian can easily creep into this thread.

Having lived here most of my life I can confirm playing a gig in Peterborough would have that effect on anyone.
