Sigh, I miss the '80's. Music just isn't that good anymore.

Edited to add:



IT'S WINE TIME

 

[Sulamith]

I grew up listening to all that was/is Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac.

Love love love. Brings back a lot of memories...both good and bad.

Edge Of Seventeen

Leather And Lace

I love Stevie Nicks too. FM but esp. Stevie. My screen name was chosen because I love the artist Sulamith Wulfing. SN said she was an inspiration to her. I had never heard of SW before I read about SN liking her.

That was awesome! Thanks! I loved, loved, loved Purple Rain! I could watch that movie over and over and over and over. I loved the 80's!!!! :rockon:

I also love His Purple Highness and think he's a musical genius. His guitar work in that video was thrilling! The first time I saw it I was taken aback because George Harrison's son is his spitting image. That was such a great tribute to him.

As for the 80's music, at the time it was coming out I remember lots of criticism about how it became secondary to the videos being almost mass-produced for MTV. Listening to the music now, there were tons of great songs that stand up very well today. I have lots of guilty pleasures from that time, including this:

A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran (So Far Away) [1982] - YouTube

My all time fave Fleetwood Mac/Lindsay Buckingham song:
Awesome guitar solo

Yes! Love the Stones! I was saying last night that we went to their last concert back in the early 90's at Soldier Field. At least we thought it was their last concert. Who knew they would still be touring today? :waitasec:

Everybody has probably seen Almost Famous but the clip where Mick Jagger is mentioned was so funny to me.

Me, too, and I use it. Swear to God, I was listening to a couple of 45's last night by Wham and Foreigner. While I clean later on, I'll be listening to my Little River Band album. I have lots of new music on my MP3, but it's not a REAL music experience if you can't hear the little hiss in the background in between songs.

I was listening to Joni Mitchell, complete with scratches from my 30 yr old album just the other night. Love it and all its imperfections.

Don't throw tomatoes, but I just love this song (and Scott Baio). I grew up in the 50's, 60's. Loved the 70's, but in the 80's and 90's I was so busy working, with my family, new houses, etc. I didn't have time for much music.

For those of you who appreciate a little Japanese camp .. there's this:

This is what I'm listening to now (I swear I'm turning into my mother)

This is a group from Italy- I call them my 3 sons from Italy. Give them a try (don't throw tomatoes).

I'm so sad now. The embeds aren't working for me anymore. Linkees are no fun to post.

What was that?!? At first I thought it was a Japanese Britney Spears but then I thought it was a guy in drag... I wish I knew what the lyrics were!

Chihuahua???? This was too funny, thanks!

Big Depeche fan, saw them numerous times live during the 90's, great live band. You wouldn't think a synth band would work it but they did, and still do. Oingo Boingo, same deal - lots of energy. Now Danny Elfman is married to a Fonda and scores movies in his sleep it seems like. Still listen to everything from Chuck Berry to Daft Punk.

*sigh* I guess I'll keep that Dead Kennedys/Black Flag punk lovin' seat to myself though.
