And 100% of Clash II's! No question, the decade had its share of atrocities. I think there's maybe a case for saying the good parts were particularly good and the bad parts particularly bad, though that's more idle notion than scientific reasoning. That's where I lean. Moreover, the stuff closer to...

To clarify, is "80s music" a distinct category from music made in the 80s cos i think it's a pretty indisputable fact that there was a hell of a lot of good music recorded during that decade? Approaching half of the Clash catalogue for starters. To me 80s music is synthy new wave shit and shitty ha...

I remember a programme called MT USA which was basically just a guy in New York introducing music videos for a couple of hours on Sunday afternoons and every week, without fail as i recall it, they would play Love is a Battlefield and nothing evokes the 80s quite like it for me. There were three vi...

Credit for Live Aid and all that, but does anyone remember/respect Geldof as a musician? It's fine to like a few songs and whatever, but nobody is ever speaking about him and Joe in the same breath. I guess it was good to bring awareness to the famine and general awareness of a very overlooked cont...

Could have sworn Mondays was a huge hit in the States but upon checking, I'm stunned to see it didn't even break the billboard top 70!! I think they'd a lot better songs tbh. I recall Geldof telling some yarn about the time they sent dead rats (actual dead rats) to radio stations across the country...

Wow. This commercial just screams mid-90's!? You’d think Hoy would reconsider his position … :shifty: The 90's seemed to be the heyday of featuring goofy, twitchy characters in commercials. I think we should rename the 90s "The Surge Era". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTY8hrvFck8 Goofy dancing c...

Nice enough sweet but just a bit chewy for my liking and annoying tendency to get stuck in your teeth. Funnily enough, i was only remembering this ad very recently for some reason. https://youtu.be/qqCZe3WA-zE Wow. This commercial just screams mid-90's!?

This is not making me seem less weird! :naughty: It was meant to :huh: Goddamn, I am the St. Sebastian of this thread. Had to look St Seb up, wasn't sure at first tbh but then the penny dropped. He is a patron saint of archers and athletes and of those who desire a saintly death. He was also venera...
