So my eldest grandson is asking me what I liked musically from the 1980s
I told him it was a dry sort of decade however
Thomas Dolby, Gary Numan, Stones, Roxy Music, Bob Seger.
Others will come to me.
Maybe you guys will help.
I'm glad the kid didn't go hip hop nor raggeaton.
I can think of a lot of one hit wonders, I'm stumped about any other bands that did a lot of good stuff over that decade
That was probably George Thorogood's peak
Yup
There were a lot of bands where I liked a couple songs here and there...Flock of Hairdos, Tears for Fears, The Fanatics.... Eurythmics...PoPo...Men At Work, Dire Straits
Pixies
Smiths
Crowded House
The Call
The Church
TP and the HBs
REM
Mostly though I was listening to music from the sixties and seventies.
About the time insurance companies and smog regulations killed the muscle cars, the music also went to shit.
Coincidence?
The Cars
Guns N Roses
Metallica
Tom Petty
Traveling Wilburys
The Pretenders
and some great one (or two)off's , such as : Madness, Devo, B52s, and probably lots more
He took my Tom Petty anthology.
He has one of those refined hearing things where he truly believes analog>digital.
I blame sluggo.
Not BETTER but DIFFERENT. I thoroughly enjoy the coloration vinyl adds to recorded music.
I don't get it
He has a Mettalica in a green pressing.
He and his girl ooh and aah.
ZZ Top
Judas Priest
Yeah? Well, You gottanuther thing comin'.
