I heart the 80s

[Bud Peyote]

Yay! The 1980s rule! Like Mods!

Stop it.

[Col Wolfe]

Stop it.

[kestrel blazer]

Bloody hell! The Moment. More Prisoners! I was in the fan club and won a signed album. Met them (when they reformed) at the Cluny, really decent people, still raucous live, as are Graham Day and the Gaolers.

80's pop encapsulated in 3 minutes.

Some great great music being posted... Need the Peter Shelly and that blancmange track is aces... Galaxie 500 are a shoe in round my gaff and the prisoners sound great. Will post more tomorrow, got some ace tackhead and a great nitzer ebb ep courtesy of divine via discogs... Oh, and more ministry...

[Bud Peyote]

Yes, but can we ban mod revival please? (Prisoners doesn't count as that, they are good).

[eine]

Another 80's classic!

Tackhead probably more immediately listenable though:

Will post up a few newer finds - but here's a favourite:

You are kidding me, The Eurythmics were fantastic!

This is cool and eminently affordable - I think mine was 10p from bootland ...

I want to join in:

Finally!

What a great thread to come back from the pub to.

Synth 12" 50p:



Stone cold 80s fist-fucking wonder:

[Col Wolfe]

No haties for the moddy eighties!

[Mr_Hopkinson]

In these sort of situations, I like to recommend 'Edit The Dragon' by Colourbox. Currently does not appear to be on YouTube

[AlanP]

I'll add some Hunters and Collectors to the pile, great fun for some air bass guitar as I recall.

!!! That's a shameful lapse by YouTube video uploaders.

Here's a squelchy synth very cheap record with a killer bassline and soulful bathroom vocals:

[jahshabby]

This is great - still not been able to work through all the posts but some goodies there (would like to know if there's a dub of the Leather Nun that I could play without worrying whether the kids were out of earshot).

Seb, we can't ban Mod revival, I wouldn't have known about the Prisoners if it weren't for this thread and they are, quite clearly, brilliant.

And Bruce, those Bollywood tracks are great fun... as was Green's Nike suit!

Must be getting on with some work now, but if anyone can square this pop circle with what Al Jourgensen turned into, I'll be amazed…

[eclectiktronik]

Love this 80s French pop: maman a tort

surprised nobody's mentioned hilly fields yet!

The 80s were brill.
Almost as good as the 60s.

[SirSlim]

80s French

I'm not sure if this turns up cheap in a chazza - but what a great tune and the video is pure 80s...



and a big yes to Scritti Politti "absolute" - killer.

A couple more:

disconnection "bali ha'i"



weekend "summerdays"

[radtradCat]

Good to see that some have come round to re-appraise the Garage Revival - 'twasn't always so.



The Mod revival tho' was irredeemably crap until some turned-on sparks 'discovered' Rubber Soul and Revolver:





Paisley Underground:

Is there no end to the stuff?

I already said they are good and therefore does not count as mod revival.
Alright I'll stop.

[Col Wolfe]

Seb is living proof of the death of yoof culture theory that's continually waffled on about by the likes of Elms

let's get back to great eighties music!

[eric-adams]

Omly just heard this recently, its bloody brillinat,

[jakartajive]

Evil dirty rock'n'roll . . . from the 80s . . .

[Col Wolfe]

Lookin' good in the eighties. The Eight. Ease.

[theeman]

Kid creole: stool pigeon!!

[eclectiktronik]

I'd never heard that either and I have loads of Adam Ant stuff.

Brillinat indeed!

[Col Wolfe]

um, nointeen oighties

[ginghamkitchen]

Col, didn't The Crack win a record deal in some BBC Talent Show? I remember watching it, but can't recall the details - the song they won't with was about not being let down, or not letting down.

[Saint Jude]

Col

From memory Candy Flip's Strawberry Fields Forever and Northside's Shall We Take A Trip were just outside the 80's. so you'll have to save your baggy clips for the I Heart The 90's thread...

[babycart]

I heart the 80s, but I really heart 1986.

Should have seen me getting it on after digging these out at the weekend.

Noted but will get around to some tail-end 80s baggy soon :coumbo:

Bought this after Danny Baker reviewed it in NME one week. Ace video, great slice of Duke Bootee business.

All this talk of Adam Ant reminded me of this offshoot.

A spot of oddball pop, regarded as an electro classic in New York.


more whacky pop, this time from Richard Strange. Shot at the Fridge.
