What was the best 80's band and video?
« on: December 03, 2007, 21:38:54 »
Abstract topic I know, but that is Belgian beer combined with nostalgia, and a yearning to regain my lost youth!

My nomination is this one: Ultravox with Reap the Wild Wind.
Why? Simple really. Great band, great tune, old landys and old aircraft including Spitfires, Hurricanes, Swordfish and others!

SOOOOOooooo many to choose from....

Aaha - Take on Me
Adam and the Ants - Stand and Deliver / Prince Charming
Human League - Don't you want me Baby
etc etc etc

I've still got all my boxes of singles from the 80's and my old record player that I used to play in the dorm at boarding school.....Ahhh, happy days!

Not just an 80s band as such, but I'd have to say Metallica, and One for the video.

Have to say that Land of Confusion by Genesis isn't far behind!

How about this one?

The Rainmakers, Let my people go go

Many nights spent in a pub called Hoofers on the Earlham Rd, Norwich, watching this on MTV, drinking pints of DAB beer! :(bigsmile):

See, not all 80s stuff was rubbish! :P

Also partial to some of the "Madchester" era music, current fave being Inspiral Carpets. Can't listen to heavy stuff all the time now can you?

I was very young in the early 80's too, I had a massive crush on Adam Ant, had posters of him all over the dorm wall, and even named one of my ponies Adam!   :oops:

What about ZZ Top? The car was brilliant! Again, not exactly what you would call 'challenging' music, but great for driving  :D

Billy Duffys guitar work was superb on that, the first few seconds of introduction was great!


As for my favourites, here's a few
In no particular order;
'Runaway Boys' Stray Cats
'Israel' Siouxsie & The Banshees
'Boys Of Summer' Don Henley (ultimate driving song???)
'Destination Zulu-Land' King Kurt
'Sexy & 17' Stray Cats
'Adrenochrome' Sisters Of Mercy
'Guitar Town' Steve Earle & The Dukes
'Green Fields Of France' The Men They Couldn't Hang
'Close To The Edit' Art Of Noise
'Song To The Siren' This Mortal Coil
'Metal Dance' SPK
'Between The Wars' Billy Bragg


And many, many more

I may have got soem dates wrong, some may be late 70s'/others early 90's. I apologise

The video for A-Ha "Take on Me" was clever

Dire Straits "Money For Nothing" is another clever video, and lets face it, Mark Knopfler knocks out some funky riffs
