Any one into 80's pop??

[enjaykayb]

Any of you out there into 80s pop music?? Well, I know the clothes and the hair sucked back then, but i still love that music! Remember, Tears 4 Fears, Early U2, The Police, Outfield.......
Lots of good memories....... What about you??

[Luftwaffe]

You call that "pop" music? "Crap" more like! Give me old Helen Shapiro any old day!

[fun boy three]

Any era's music/fashion seems bad when you look bad. The eighties were great! I can often be found playing my old cd's of all that old eighties stuff. Fantastic! Name and shame those clubs in Singapore that play eighties music!

[fun boy three]

I mean 'look back'. Ooops. Still steaming after the game. 5-1 to the Eng-er-land!

Love the 80s music.  The 80s rock bands weren't half bad either.  More passion than angst and violence these days.

[Junebug]

Living in memory lane...   I love the music of the 80's...

[evehow]

I should be so lucky, lucky lucky lucky.......

SAW music ruled the airwaves then; all of us girls were drooling over the likes of Rick Astley and Jason Donovan.

EEEEKKKSSS!!!

i love 80s music - brings back memories of (much) younger years when there was so much wishful thinking over hopelessness

... and Love Bites by Def Leppard, oh-my-god!

[80's it is]

I miss the 80s!!  Was there ever a greater decade?

[Aceman]

did I hear someone say Tears for fears?? they were brilliant!

Helen Shapiro 80s NOt ..hahhaa. Oldies more like it  

80s ...new romantics uhhh i luv human league, omd, depeche mode, duranduran, flock of seagulls (luv i ran!!), ABC, Yazoo, boomtown Rats, kraftwerk ... then there's ska (Madness, UB40), Stock Aitken & Waterman (Kylie, Dead or Alive, Jason Donavan, Rick 'Spatsley' Astley, Big Fun, Brother Beyond, Sinitta, Sonia...), dun forget breakdance and breakbeat ... there's High-Nrg and who can forget Bros and those shoes (i had 3 pairs!)... lots of electronic music. Love New Order, PSB, Jaohnny Hates Jazz, Style Council, Curiosity Killed the Cat (the emergence of boy bands seeping in the 80s...), Spandau Ballet, Howard Jones, Limahl and their fright hairdo, Haircut 100 (yum!), Bananarama, Lotus Eaters, Culture Club, Swing out Sisters, Blow Monkeys, Nick Kamen, i could go on ...  

But ... i'm not a retro 80s junkie. Dun mind listening to a track or 2 and that is enough cos they reminded me of growing up, those horrid teenage angst and lots of silly geeky things. I prefer the 90s

[child of 80s]

it was great - still would rather listen to the era of great slow-dance songs ... george benson's 'nothing's going to change my love for you' (YES!), windjammer, spandeau ballet, chicago, phil collins .... etc.

prefer that to the current music of today - no offence poppette - but which i can't understand or identify with anymore.

I agree, I love easy listening, vangelis, as well as great original bands such as Duran Duran.  Michael Jackson was also at his peak in the 80s, whatever you may think about him personally, you can't argue with his ability to write fantastic songs which are still classics... Don't Stop til you get enough fits Rush Hour 2 perfectly for example.  I miss the 80s, they were times of carefree indulgence yet they had more goodwill and feeling than the 90s, which were pretty cold and clinical if you ask me.  There is not a lot of original music coming out these days...

[oddhaavik]

I love them......I haven't got bore with any of them yet....

My fav would be...Praying for time

[T2K]

Don't forget the Thompson Twins, whose greatest hits CD I listen to every week or so.  The last good music to be made was The Counting Crows, August and Everything After which was in 94 I think.  Everything after that has been crap.
