The 80's music scene !?
.........It can't be replicated- 'cause it was then - this is now!
The whole scene - back then.........was more to do with politics- rather than the music. If you want to listen to some good 80's music try these...........rather than some sad un- original bands, like you have today. Great 80's bands: Depeche Mode The Stranglers The Police Queen Madness Blondie Men at Work |

I have to add A-Ha, but forget about the Take On Me crap and listen to The Sun Always Shines On TV, I've Been Losing You, Hunting High And Low.......etc.

the 80s is generally looked back on as quite a clownish decade for music, interesting that now we would kill for some of the bands

Also, Erasure who are still going strong today, in fact the last couple of Erasure albums have been very similiar to their 80's work with familiar sounding bits heard in some of Erasure's best 80's songs.

talk talk squeeze xtc ![]() Have you slipped and banged your head or something? ![]() I can see how the Pixies were heavily influenced by punk, and Siouxsie and the Banshees a little (only their early stuff), but tbh, they're probably my least favourite 80's bands on that list. |
