If Music Could Talk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOIjcUwiuso Sort of a classic early 80s story here, The Kinks have their biggest US hit mostly on the heels of a quality (Julien Temple directed) music video and MTV (of course, also a great song, but they have a lot of those). Also, sort of ironic that this very Eng...

He was a better rapper than Dee Dee Ramone, I'll give him that much. "King" not Ramone. I know his name, mate. I know you do. Just making that point he was trying his own thing. A much maligned record probably rightly so but I think it was cathartic for Dee Dee. Definitely a cathartic record, fille...

Are we still talking about Iron Maiden? No they released 7 albums in the 80s. All are terrible. Somewhere a single tear spontaneously rolls down Wolter's cheek. The kids with cut off jean jackets and Iron Maiden patches were always seen as muppets around the area I lived. If I'm being fair then the...

There's a certain band from Basildon that happened to release three killer albums in a row during the 1980s. All 6 of their 80s albums are solid. Are we still talking about Iron Maiden?

Is this thread celebrating music released in the 80s by bands/artists that started out in the 60s/70s only or celebrating all music released in the 80s?

As both a famous hater and a Freshies fan, this is exactly how this song should be treated:

That's about as terrible as it comes.

Jon once described Pesci's being replaced as guitar player with Joey Dee and the Starliters by Jimi Hendrix as, on balance, a good choice. I wasn't aware of that either. Pesci gets weirder and weirder the more I find out about him. He was a better rapper than Dee Dee Ramone, I'll give him that much...

I'm sorry guys, I'm going through some heavy shit right now and am not able to do this, if anybody else can please do. I may be able to do it later in the summertime, and that's a maybe, but unfortunately can't do it right now.

Look after yourself brother. Sending good vibes.

Paranoid adjacent

I love shit like this. There's always such a joy about it. Perhaps my favourite Swans cover is in the same vein:

That's actually better than the Swans version.
