Not gay but I thought Marc Almond (and Dave Ball to a lesser extent) were one the most creative acts of the 80's.

Its from the Vally Girl soundtrack. Great movie.

Also in the movie.

**khicks26** · 08-10-23, 10:22 PM

another one from that movie.

**khicks26** · 08-10-23, 10:31 PM

One of best 80's songs.

And it's a teenage sadness everyone has got to taste
An in-between age madness that you know you can't erase
'Till she's sitting on your face
(And it hurts)

Sex Dwarf one of the all time greatest songs ever made.

Dire Straits!..."Money for nothing" unedited version!

and the "walk of life" (best sports music video of all-time)!

**JIBBBY** · 08-11-23, 10:09 AM

We can't forget the punk rock movement in the 80's.. Suicidal tendencies band were the shits and I was slam dancing in the pits with this stuff as a teen! LOVED IT!

There was head banging heavy metal rock in the 80's then there was hard core punk rock. I miss it all. Great times!

Ric died days after being inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame.
The Cars were one of my favorite 80's band.

And this is one of the greatest Hall of Fame induction speeches.
It's worth a listen,

**JIBBBY** · 08-11-23, 10:54 AM

^ The Cars was a great band Stevie. That tall ugly skinny dude landed a hot model. To bad he died.

**stevenash** · 08-11-23, 11:08 AM

The hot model was Polish, just like your pal Nasher.
I'm Roman Catholic Polish just like Paulina.

The cars, another great 80's band, their music like so much of the eighty's music was cruising music, windows down radio up, drinking a cold beer looking for young willing ladies to join the trip!

Tonight, she comes.

**Da Manster!** · 08-11-23, 03:27 PM

Love him or hate him, nobody personified the 80's like Michael Jackson during the golden age of music videos!

**Da Manster!** · 08-11-23, 03:33 PM

I think Jibs posted something about the popularity of "progressive", "emo-goth", or "alternative" chicks during the 80's...IMO, it was Cyndi Lauper who basically started the trend for all intents and purposes!

I was never into the culture, but live 80s punk shows were a blast. Yoiu had to be there to appreciate slam dancing eh Jibby!

You won't know most of the names I saw down here like The Lime Spiders and this mental Country & Western Punk group called The Johnnys, but I bet you liked The Exploited?

**Da Manster!** · 08-11-23, 03:45 PM

Some other one-hit wonders from the 80's besides "Mickey"...

"Cars" by Gary Numan

"Puttin' on the Ritz" by Taco

"Electric Avenue" by Eddy Grant

Toni Basil.
What many don't know is she really was a choreographer, not so much a new waye singer.

David Bowie used Toni Basil to choreograph all of his movies, plus other projects with David Byrne.
I'm a huge David Bowie fan as well.

The album "Kick" dropped in 1987, the epic Wembley concert was 1991.
I think Opti hung out with the Farriss brothers and Michael Hutchence.

**jackpot269** · 08-11-23, 06:08 PM

Devo or the pot heads

Nope :-( But I did go to a couple of parties and BBQs with the Finn brothers of Split Enz and Crowded house in the 80s!

First time I saw (or even heard of) INXS was March 1981. Have to admit that I didn't see the greatness at the time. Liked the two other bands on bill more (Sunny Boys and Cold Chisel)

**OldBill** · 08-12-23, 11:39 AM

one of greatest metal bands eveer

**OldBill** · 08-12-23, 11:41 AM

another great band

Never heard of them. Must have been Aussie bands. Still punk rock is punk rock.

Here in America, we had Suicidal Tendencies, Dead Kennedy's, Circle Jerks, Black Flag and Social Distortion. Punk rock 80's lol..

I think I was into it for a couple years then I was out. Slam dancing was brutal when I was a skinny teen. Could always catch an elbow to the face or come home with a few bruises. Lol..

Then the mod faze came. With the Madness band.. One step beyond and Our house in the middle of the street. Flat top haircuts. Good times back then with the music and trends.

**OldBill** · 08-12-23, 11:44 AM

all these bands started in 80's

**JIBBBY** · 08-12-23, 12:03 PM

^^ Old Bill weren't you in your 30's back then? I imagine you listening to Barry Manilo and the Bee Gee's back in the 80's.

Some others include Minor Threat/Fugazi, The Misfits, The Ramones, The Dead Milkmen, and Operation Ivy, just to name a few that were pretty big in the punk scene and I actually liked.

I discovered these guys while watching "Another State of Mind". I always really respected their straight edge values. This is from 1981.

The Dead Milkmen were pretty hilarious. I love these guys. They weren't too hardcore. It was comedy punk for the most part. This song from 1985 is hilarious.

The 2 main guys from this band went on to form Rancid in the 90's. Rancid's "...And out come the wolves" is one of the greatest "punk" albums of all time IMO. I wish more people from SBR had this type of "Knowledge" lol... This is from 1989.
