BigRedX Posted March 19, 2024 Posted March 19, 2024 The 80s is a very broad church which goes all the way from post-punk to acid house, via synth pop and abrasive guitar bands. Unless you cover all these genres you'll need to supply a bit more info regarding your set list. 1 Quote
NoRhino Posted March 19, 2024 Posted March 19, 2024 Mix the decade with one of Doc Brown's line from one of the BTTF films... "Nope, already been there” And get something like... The 80s: Already Been There 2 Quote

uk_lefty Posted March 19, 2024 Posted March 19, 2024 The two that I wanted for my failed 80's project were: Cocktails and Dreams Dalton's kick Cocktails and Dreams being the name of Tom Cruise's dream bar in the film Cocktail. Dalton being the bouncer who kicked the sh!t out of everyone in Roadhouse. I just have a thing about linking films with music. I'm not a big film person but I think it really helps the nostalgia and creating the visuals for the band... To me anyway! 1 Quote
toneknob Posted March 19, 2024 Posted March 19, 2024 The 80s Show (or The 80s Tribute Show in their URL) has already been done - https://www.facebook.com/The80sTributeShow Best of your list though is Now That's What I Call '80s (sorry for implied apostrophe pedantry) 1 Quote
itu Posted March 19, 2024 Posted March 19, 2024 One of the best I've seen is Björn again. Yes, it's an ABBA tribute. 1 Quote

Sam x Same, never saw ABBA live but Bjorn Again sounded soooo near it was great. Especially when “Bjorn” said to “Benny” that he was fed up of playing wuss music so they played Paranoid. 1 Quote
