If Music Could Talk

I've always dug this track from the same time period as Come Dancing. It's moody in all the right ways.

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...

How about Fine Young Cannibals? IMO one of the better 80's bands that was on the radio a lot, plus Roland Gift has a fantastic voice.

Also featuring two members of The Beat.

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?

Celebrating anything released between 1/1/80 and 12/31/89.

I will accept no new-wave bashing.

The Kajagoogoo fan club meets in South Shields.

They're too shy shy to meet in person, however.

Already covered in the 90's: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5b/Eight_heads_in_a_duffel_bag.jpg I can't believe the odd, destructive career choices Pesci made.

Hello, I'm not sure how much this thread is celebrating cheese-iness or is sarcastic, but the 80's (1984) also birthed Stop Making Sense, the best concert film ever. I think it's a little of both. I started it because I have a sincere appreciation for the decade, though acknowledging that the 80s (...

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...
