Barking Spiders Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 This slipped well under the radar too, IMO one of the best covers I've ever heard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highfox Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Some great tunes, definitely my era Don't forget the 2 tone movement was also in full swing by then. I caught the Beat live on Sunday, still sounding good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolo Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 If it wasn't for Thrash Metal and it's offspring the whole 80s should be killed with fire. What a load of audible diarrhea, absolutely atrocious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Above I see Motorhead, Napalm Death, Voivod, and a mention of psychobilly.

You are right, Trash Metal like Heavy Metal was awful in the 80's : certainly the worst recordings ever, absolutely crap sounding, totally lacking inspiration and, even worst, dressed like sissies. And I was more on the metal side in the early eighties than on the jazz scene. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone remember the video album he made to accompany ‘Infected’? Channel 4 used to show it regularly in the late eighties. I had it on a long lost VHS but I’d love to find it on DVD.

HazBeen Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 The 80s, fond memories of first loves/kisses, first musical inspirations etc. Great to see some of the clips in the thread. We must not forget this was also the time of SA&W...... not so great. Some of my personal favourites from the era: POP ROCK/METAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 In my experience the recorded music scene in the 80's was full of fantastic bands playing great songs. The local gig scene (London and the SE) was vibrant and there were more gigs than a band could fit in the diary. The audiences were lively, interested and enthusiastic. Most of the gigs we played were full. IME the 80's was a great time for music. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
