Title: What was the best 80's band and video?
Post by: Lord Shagg-Pyle 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!

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!

Post by: narked on December 03, 2007, 21:46:24: 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!

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):

Post by: narked on December 03, 2007, 22:04:30: 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?

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

Post by: Spock on December 05, 2007, 16:04:45: 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

Blimey! I've still got 'Since Yesterday' down stairs on a 7" single
On a similar vein, how about 'We've Got A Fuzzbox, And We're Gonna use It'. I've got their 'Rules & Regulations' 7".
Plus the summer special 12" with a couple of other people.

How about these??
'Nag nag nag!' (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=sS5g7R7YrUg&feature=related)

'True Faith' (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=og1HAkjOuL0) Still strange & as weird as hell, but catchy!!

'Queen Of Hearts' (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2CoGlRSgsVE) I still regret never seeing Edmunds live :(

'All Men Are Liars' (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bg-BiWZMXPA) The line about Rick Astley still makes me laugh

'This Corrosion' (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=boinZ5BIlkw&feature=related) Oohh, Patricia Morrison :D :D
