80's music

[Suffice]

I love it. It's my calm music along with trance. Talk talk are the greatest 80's band by far but I also like Wham, Killing Joke, Roxette, New Order and a few others.

THE 80'S RULE \o/

I'm doubting anyone here likes it though =p. 80's pop music was talent, most of the 90's and all of todays is crap :rolleyes:

[Debus]

Gotta love most of the 80's stuff. Some of it was dire though. I like some 80's bands, don't ask me to list them though, my parents listen to them all the time, dunno what they're called.

And yeah, i agree with Suffice

[Joe]

80's pop music was actually good.

[Suffice]

Mmhm, it had talent and people actually worked to get noticed and signed. Most pop today is manufactured.

[Scarlet]

My friend loves 80's Hair Metal. She's actually a bit obsessed with it. I personally don't see whats so great about Hair Metal. It's pretty corny to me.

She starts talking to me about all these bands and crap and I just pretend that I like what she shows me.. it's funny. :lol:

---------------------
Hmm... my mom always use to listen to 80's Dance music and some probably from the 90's when I was little. And I do like some of those songs. Like the "I'll Be loving You" song and "In A Dream".. lol I think those are okay. I just burned a CD a few days ago with some 80's-90's hits for my parents .. haha but it's not like I listen to 80's music all the time or at all for that matter. I can stand listening to 'em though. ;)

[Mushroom Cloud]

I personally cant stand the 80's, not even "alternative" bands like the Cure....but if people like it thats cool.

I just dont know why they had to synthesize real instruments all the time when they could have just played them or hired someone who could play them.

[Doctor Manhattan]

The Dead Kennedys & Joy Division are my favorite bands from the 80s. Nine Inch Nails in the late 80s (1988/1989) is okay too.

[Friskey™]

I'll be completely killed for this, but 80's hair metal is one of my favorites genres in music.

Aw I like the whole 80's synth style music. Talk Talk are just the best band though.

What's that meant to mean..

[Pinkin Lark]

The Cure is an awesome band!

[fallenangel]

in my heart of hearts i am an 80's chick. power ballads were just great, you just don't get that anymore...

[Suffice]

Hehe yeah. Most pop bands now are just in it for the money and the fame, not the music.

[fallenangel]

Hehe yeah. Most pop bands now are just in it for the money and the fame, not the music.

i also liked the 80's pop and it really pisses me of that people are now just covering all the good 80's pop tracks. it has totaly wasted the songs for me now...

[Scotty]

Duran Duran were good.

[fallenangel]

Duran Duran were good

they were fab!

My parents like Duran Duran. I didn't even know what they sang until this year and was surprised to find that they sang that "Come Undone" song. My mom found all her old cassettes the other day and was playing "Come Undone" really loud... gave me a damn headache. lol

[Suffice]

Mm yeah Duran Duran are good. I like The Reflex and this other song which I can't remember the name of.

[fallenangel]

wild boys was a great song by duran duran!

[Jamie]

I love The Eurythmics or however the hell its spelt.

[USAF.07]

Hair metal had to be one of the most unGodly forms of music ever heard by the ears of a human being...so terrible. A lot of great bands came out of the 80s though, The Cure, R.E.M., The Smiths, etc. For Alternative stuff, the 80s were terrific.

[Scotty]

The Smiths are one of my alltime favourite bands, waaay better than solo Morrissey. The Cure and Iron Maiden were great, too.

Motley Crue, Megadeth and Metallica were pretty good, but Slayer might be the best to come out of the 80's.

[Suffice]

Yeah the metal bands were good too but today's metal bands are just as good (some of them). It's just the pop was so much better in the 80's.

[Mr. Benzedrine]

Then Jericho, Climie Fisher, Duran Duran, Talk Talk, Huey (sp?) Lewis and The News, The Eurythmics, Mr Mister, I like alot more i just cant really remember the names of them...Owh i think Enigma was out in the 80's also and they (he) is awesome.

[Andrea]

I listen to 80's music every once in a while.

My own personal favorite band from the 80's is Tears For Fears. Great band, great music. ;)

I love the Smiths too, incredible band, such a shame no one in the States knows of the impact they made on music today

Today's metal is way better.

[Il inno di morte]

The 80's music was pretty damn good. I've always liked it and i still do. I like don't like all songs though, but there are really good ones. I still listen :lol:

[Suffice]

Power to the 80's
