Lots of political talk from the threads I created lately. Some of it has been great debate but some of it has been quite snarky.
I try to do a non political post once in a while and I hope this thread brings back good memories from the eightys. This is the decade that I went through high school. I remember high hair, hairspray, Reaganomics, Live Aid etc.
I will be adding to this thread from time to time on the OT. I hope everyone enjoys it.

My two cents is that
March 31, 2008 - 00:39 ET by CortillaenMy two cents is that nothing from Pink Floyd is worth listening to. I know people who rave about them, but I just can't stand them. *shrugs* Instead, gimme anything by Billy Joel, and I'll be a happy man. Sure, his two best songs were in the 70s (Just The Way You Are and The Stranger), but his 80s stuff is still gold to me: An Innocent Man, The Longest Time, Keeping the Faith, Baby Grand, This Is the Time, I Go to Extremes, and And So It Goes. Next in line has to be Huey Lewis and The News, hands down. Some of My Lies Are True, Do You Believe in Love, I Want a New Drug, The Heart of Rock 'N Roll, The Power of Love, Back in Time, Perfect World, and Small World, Part 1. Oddly enough, only the last two in that list were released during my lifetime... Well, good music is good no matter when you hear it, I suppose.

80's time warp
March 30, 2008 - 10:28 ET by shawn228I'm glad you guys like the thread :-) In a way it is like a time warp,
but sometimes it seems just like yesterday. Being responsible, paying
bills and raising kids and growing up can be a inconvenient reality
these days lol
So far I am only getting warmed up and lots of songs will be added to the OP very shortly.
Michael Jackson was like a music God in the eightys, how far we have fallen. All the actors from "The Outsiders" were on meteoric rise. ie Ralph Machio. Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Diane Lane and Patrick Swayze.
Flashdance and Beverly Hills Cop were very successful as well.
I'm sure I forgot lots of songs, so I would appreciate any additions or even shared great or sad memories from the eightys.

March 30, 2008 - 14:20 ET by well99Dont make me call the nostalgia police on you.Yes the Outsiders was a real good movie with alot of up and coming stars.Oh dont forget Joan Jet's I Love Rock and Roll.That was a big time hit.

March 30, 2008 - 20:10 ET by Doraemon_OReillyI think your inclusion of Sad Songs by Elton John was a good inclusion. However, I think I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues, I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like Thant, and Nikita were his best 80s songs.

I hate to do this, but for the first time I have to take a completely opposite opinion on something with you.
"Fire", for me, has to be one of the worst -- and most annoying -- non-songs ever! A low point in an otherwise decent Billy Joel career (not the biggest fan of him though...)
Now, maybe you're giving it merit on mainly it's lyrics, not the music. In that case, okay, it's not so bad :)

March 30, 2008 - 23:16 ET by shawn228I think I am about 10 ys older than you, but I love listening to 70's stuff as well.
If this thread goes well, I will make a 90s one as well. I might need help on it, that is when I got too old to remember all the groups on the radio. Who got famous in the ninetys anyway? Snoop Dog? Tupac? Nirvana? Biggie? I enjoy Sheryl Crow as well.
well Shawn
March 30, 2008 - 23:23 ET by candanceAs a child I didn't have access to pop music until I became a teenager. And I don't think you're that much older than me - I'm 27.
My teen years were filled with Oasis, Pearl Jam, Tom Petty, Nirvana, Garbage, Bush, Green Day, Live, etc.
I don't like Sheryl Crow.
Heh, you're both plenty
March 31, 2008 - 01:07 ET by CortillaenHeh, you're both plenty older than me, and I still manage to wax nostalgic over songs from before I was born. Three decades (60s-80s) produced a staggering amount of incredible music. This page needs more classic Motown (that reminds me to go find my Spinners, Temptations, and Four Tops CDs), though... Since that would be a decade or two out of the 80s range, I suppose I'll just make do with Michael McDonald, who manages to capture that same feel in a lot of his music. I Heard It Through the Grapevine, I Keep Forgettin', Yah Mo B There, No Lookin' Back, and Sweet Freedom, plus Blink of An Eye (my favorite from him) if you don't mind breaking a bit into the 90s. Toto's also worth a mention, with Rosanna, Africa, I'll Be Over You, and Hold the Line (okay, that's actually from '78, but it's close). Other notables that I can remember of the top of my head are I'll Be There and Danger Zone from Kenny Logins and I Just Called to Say I Love You from Stevie Wonder.

The 1990s
March 31, 2008 - 04:02 ET by UnsaneIn October 1992, as I was walking down a street in San Antonio making my way from work to home, I was channel surfing on the Walkman (with a cassette player!!!), and heard "Pull Me Under" by Dream Theater for the first time. My world of music has not been the same since!
Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, I was a devout headbanger and had NO TIME for Nirvana or any of those other weak bands (though I found some Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains and Soundgarden to be of good quality). I went through a LONG "If it isn't Slayer, it SUCKS!" stage, and jammed out to bands of that nature.
The music scene of the 1990s just wasn't as rewarding, but then, once I got hold of Images and Words, my music tastes shifted hugely to progressive rock/metal. It has basically remained there almost without exception. The music I listen to isn't exactly mainstream, as a consequence.
Res tantum valet quantum vendi potest.
Hey Un, I knew alot of guys
April 2, 2008 - 11:09 ET by Roger the ShrubberHey Un, I knew alot of guys who went through that "if it ain't Slayer, it sucks" phase, too. There was that variant: "if it ain't Metallica, it sucks" group, too. I guess for a while I was in the "If it ain't Sabbath, it sucks" camp, haha.
In the 90's I was firmly in the "if it IS Nirvana, it sucks" group!
I suddenly no longer feel outcast!
April 4, 2008 - 03:30 ET by UnsaneIn the 90's I was firmly in the "if it IS Nirvana, it sucks" group! Roger, a thousand or so miles away in southern TX, I was right there with you! To this day I cannot figure out the fascination with that grossly overrated group...
Back then I was indulging in Slayer (as noted), but also Megadeth, Metallica (though I consider the Black Album the beginning of their demise), Suicidal Tendencies, Queensryche, Testament, Primus, Iron Maiden, Anthrax, and other such bands (in no particular order). When Nirvana first came out my peers in high school could not figure out why I was so unimpressed with them.
Res tantum valet quantum vendi potest.
Un, I figured you'd be big
April 4, 2008 - 07:53 ET by Roger the ShrubberUn, I figured you'd be big on Queensryche since you dig Dream Theater so much!
I remember the excitement of the monthly pilgrimage to downtown Pittsburgh on a Saturday morning to the local import record store to see what new records were released that week. I remember one late summer Saturday in '83 the guys that work there stuck an album in my face. Then, around Xmas '83 or so, we saw this album at the store. Sure, my friends and I were already listening to bands like Venom, Raven, Diamond Head, Scorpions, Priest, Maiden, etc, but man, those two albums sealed the deal for me.
Roger
April 5, 2008 - 10:35 ET by shawn228I'm just going by memory here and forgive me if I am wrong, but aren't you fan of that death metal stuff? Stuffs way too hard core for me.
Gulty as charged,
April 5, 2008 - 12:26 ET by Roger the ShrubberGulty as charged, Shawn!
Not the new, crappy pseudo-death, but the old-school stuff. Old 80's stuff, esp. European death metal.
That might help you understand why I chuckle when some people come to this board lobbing "all Conservatives are religious nutjobs" hand grenades.

April 13, 2008 - 03:26 ET by UnsaneShawn, you haven't lived until you sample some Meshuggah!
Good stuff, all. I started at 13 with G 'n' R, then got hold of some Iron Maiden, a bit of Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, some Slayer, and so forth. And my tastes have not at all mellowed, as my listening to Meshuggah can attest.
Res tantum valet quantum vendi potest.
The 1980s!
March 31, 2008 - 03:56 ET by UnsaneConsidering my growing up in the 1980s, I am very fond of that decade. Back when I was in first grade, my parents got me a turntable for Christmas which featured an AM/FM radio. Here I got to surf various radio channels with impunity, and since I had two older sisters (and my mother) who were very much into the music of the time, that didn't hurt.
Seriously, I distinctly remember some moments in first grade where I went to school with Journey stuck in my head because I heard them on the radio before I went to class (example). For another example, I remember mornings when I would hit my second grade class with songs by various artists reverberating through my head. It also didn't hurt that we got cable back then and I got to see my first music videos.
Keep posting, guys and gals. This thread is bringing back great memories.
I may be an unapologetic headbanger, but I have a major soft spot for the music of the 1980s. I was given vast amounts of grief for the music I have on my iPOD, but I don't care. I grew up with that music, and it is forever intertwined with great memories of my youth and formative years. When I get another moment, I'll go through the 80s artists I have on my iPOD and list them here for your perusal.

March 31, 2008 - 18:18 ET by RESTLESS 1Why would anyone give you crap for 80's music on you iPod? Good times. W.A.S.P, Motley Crue, the heyday of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, SLAYER!!!! What's wrong with the 80's?
Oops
March 31, 2008 - 18:23 ET by RESTLESS 1Forgot about Metallica, Venom, Accept, Ozzy with Randy Rhoads...
A bit of clarification
April 1, 2008 - 03:00 ET by UnsaneAlongside my metal I got TONS of 80s pop. To wit: the Ls on my iPOD begin with Lamb of God (Ashes of the Wake). The next name in that section? Laura Branigan. (I'm not ashamed to admit that I was thoroughly bummed when I heard she died.) What can I say? I couldn't get "Gloria" out of my head when I was in elementary school, and to make matters worse, my mother grabbed any album she came out with!
On a long flight, I took a LOT of heat for having 80s pop on the iPOD. I don't get it at all: stack typical 80s pop music against anything out today in that category and there is no comparison.
Due to the constraints of time, I will save my praise for good 80s metal some other time...but I WILL say this: my first honest-to-goodness metal album was one I got when I was 13: Appetite For Destruction by G 'n' R. Thus began one of my worst, most deplorable addictions...:-)
Res tantum valet quantum vendi potest.
G-N-R
April 1, 2008 - 07:36 ET by RESTLESS 1See, another one I forgot. I'm not going to include the glam bands of the 80's, although I must admit, most had pretty decent musicians. I remember, some friends were heading to the coast when one of them puts that cassette in, and I couldn't turn it off. I borrowed that cassette for at least a month, avoiding said friend at all costs, lest I have to give it back.
I still think G-N-R could have been the greatest American band of all time if Axl could have kept it together.
Oh, and Unsane, I got where
April 1, 2008 - 07:45 ET by RESTLESS 1Oh, and Unsane, I got where you were going with the iPod story, but I must admit, if I saw you with Cindy Lauper coming out of your earphones, I would probably give you some grief too. ;>)
Don't go there!
April 4, 2008 - 03:33 ET by UnsaneCindy Lauper? Hey, I said I like my 80s pop music, but even I must draw the line somewhere! :-)
(I must admit some years ago I poured much derision on a headbanger with a soft spot for Belinda Carlisle, so I guess what goes around comes around...)

Question
April 10, 2008 - 01:55 ET by UnsaneI note a link to a song called "Gloria" above. I can't click the links here, I'm afraid, due to the constraints of time, so I'll ask: which one?
You see, there were two awesome songs called "Gloria" from the 1980s. One by an Irish band, and one from an Irish-American female vocalist. Just looking for some clarification.

April 13, 2008 - 03:30 ET by UnsaneLaura Branigan basically wrote the soundtrack for my second grade year (thanks to my radio, and my mother, who loved her voice), so that is good to hear! I'll click on that link at SOME point in time (when I am able)...

April 13, 2008 - 12:25 ET by Roger the ShrubberI agree, Shawn. Saw them on that same tour, at Three Rivers Stadium in the fall of 87.

April 5, 2008 - 01:22 ET by MrShyThanks!! It's a unique, minimalist approach to music video making :p
(in other words, I don't have a real video for the song yet, so for now this'll have to do :))

April 4, 2008 - 04:10 ET by Cool ArrowThere was some good in the '80's. Anything was welcome after that horrid age of Disco.
My favorite from the era, though they first hit big in 1978, was Dire Straits. Their soundtrack for "Local Hero" was pretty good too. (The movie, like Disco, sucked)

Thx Cool Arrow
April 4, 2008 - 09:09 ET by shawn228I'm glad you like it. I have Dire Straits money for nothing under the popular 80s song category. That video was one of the best made ever.

Arsenio
April 5, 2008 - 00:55 ET by shawn228was extremely annoying, but he helped launch some careers. This performance helped this artist get nationwide exposure, she had another memorable performance few yrs later as well
Mariah Carey
April 5, 2008 - 01:04 ET by Cool ArrowI was blown away by her first hit.
She's been boring ever since.

Great time to be a kid. . .
April 4, 2008 - 23:49 ET by tracheostomyHere's the animated movie intro* to one of the greatest syndicated 80s cartoons ever created (2:53-3:05 still makes me weep with joy).
The live-action feature is slated for 2009, but this version will always be my true love.

*Unfortunately, this 3 min or so was the only good part of the animated movie.

awesome trach :-)
April 5, 2008 - 00:02 ET by shawn228Great contributions on both the songs and cartoon side. I still love cartoons to this day. Justice league of America is one of my favorites.
I also loved The Transformers and the Superfriends
Superfriends was the
April 5, 2008 - 00:08 ET by tracheostomySuperfriends was the bomb. I hyperventilated when I first saw the '78 intro, it just totally blew my mind. I think I see a pattern here. . .

April 5, 2008 - 00:36 ET by RESTLESS 1Lol. I too watched that one. Loved the cave scenes when they stuck the big stick down T. Rex's throat. Lots of memories.
