I am the quintessential 80s chick. I was (and am still)
Miss New Wave. There is no way I could name just one
band.

I graduated H.S. in 83. My faves in H.S. were Culture
Club, Human League, ABC, Eurythmics, Duran Duran,
The Cars, The Police, Adam and the Ants, and yes, even
Kajagoogoo (shuddup).

Graduated college in 87. During those years it was The
Cure, Violent Femmes, Depeche Mode, REM, English
Beat (and then General Public), The Smiths, and The
The.

I could go on and on, but I'll spare ya.

The first tape I ever bought was INXS' "Kick." I'd sing along with "New Sensation" with my headphones on and my family laughing at me in the next room.

All of the bands Jafter mentioned are great. ABC and The Human League, however, suck ass.

New Order is still making great music, but The Cure has lost something.

my favorite band of the 80s is probably the smiths, although i didn't listen to them in the 80s... i guess i was a little too young to have heard them then. back then, it was guns n roses for me.

the cure, the clash (although i'd consider them more 70s), and a bunch of the others mentioned in this thread, were also excellent

<center><img src="http://thereisnogod.faithweb.com/images/arisubway.gif" height=100 width=300</img>

we hope your rules and wisdom choke you</center>

[guttersnipe]

Does it seem to anyone else here that half of us
experienced one kind of decade musically during the
80s, and half of us experienced something completely
different? When you've got Queensryche and A Flock of
Seagulls in one thread, something's just weird.

ABC and The Human League, however, suck
ass.

Like, Oh My God, you know they were, like, totally
awesome. I stick my tongue out at you.

New Order is still making great music, but The
Cure has lost something.

I knew I was leaving out one of my favorite
bands, and I even mentioned them in a thread last
week. New Order should have been in my earlier post.

But I think they have lost something in recent years.
They move me no more.

The Cure definitely lost something. Actually, it's more
like they gained something: The Will to Live, and it
totally fucked up their music. I haven't been able to
listen to any of their stuff since they got all happy. The
last album I bought was 1992's "Wish," and even
though it had the repulsive Friday I'm in Love on
it, at least it also had Letter to Elise and To Wish
Impossible Things.

1992 is not the 80s lol yes, but while the cure did put out albums in the 90s (and, in fact, i believe that blood flowers came out in 2000), i don't think that anyone would argue against their being termed an 80s band.

does anyone like naked eyes the had one hit
but i like it. It was promices promices.

Actually, before Promises, Promises, they had a hit
with an old cover tune called Always Something There
to Remind Me. So they are a Two Hit Wonder.

I almost put them and Wang Chung (their 1st album
was great) on my list, but it was already too long as it
was.

promices

Yeah, I can't let this go either. Both songs, Always
Something There to Remind Me and Promises,
Promises, were on their debut album, released in
1983. The band broke up after their sophomore failure
album, in 1984.

Always Something came out first. I remember the song
being a hit near the end of my senior year of high
school. We listened to it constantly at Senior Beach
Week right after graduation.

Promises, Promises was a hit later that year, around
the time I started my freshman year in college. I did a
dance routine to it in my Modern Dance class that Fall.

The songs you know and love from that time of your life
you never forget.

If I have to I will go find proof of release dates of the
singles. But I have to go put the rugrats to bed now.
It already past their bedtime. I've let the Digimon
babysit them for too long.

guttersnipe,

Did you grow up in DC. did you ever go to Bojangles or Abbey roads. I bet you probably spent most of your time down at Posuers in Georgetown.

I graduated in 83 from Falls Church and we would go down every weekend to DC. It was nice the drinking age was 18 for beer 21 for liquor.



Thank you Ron and Fez for finally being live in DC again.
Ok let's get the boys back live in NY. Don't give up the fight.

[guttersnipe]

guttersnipe,
Did you grow up in DC. did you ever go to Bojangles or
Abbey roads. I bet you probably spent most of your
time down at Posuers in Georgetown.

No, I grew up in a little town called Poquoson, about 30
minutes from Norfolk, 45 minutes from Virginia Beach.
Va Beach had a couple of cool clubs (at the time
anyway), Peabody's, The Wave, and of course Locals
Only. Great local bands at the time down there were
The Boneshakers, Wild Kingdom, and Waxing Poetics,
who almost made it when one of the members of REM
took an interest in them.

I moved to DC (Arlington actually) after graduating from
college, 1987. I never went to those other two places
you mentioned, but yes, I did go to Poseurs a few
times, less than you might think, tho. I mostly hung out
at a place in Dupont Circle where DJ Mohawk Adam
played a lot called... goddamnit i can't think of the name
right now but it started with a "C." Aha! Cagney's!
Thank god, i thought the alzheimer's was setting in.
We Were always at Tracks, too. Later it was the
Upstairs Club in Adams Morgan, which is now called
Heaven, with Club Hell underneath. Oh, and The Roxy
had a great Industrial night back in the day.

I graduated in 83 from Falls Church and we
would go down every weekend to DC. It was nice the
drinking age was 18 for beer 21 for liquor.

When I turned 18 it was legal for me to drink and go to
clubs in VA until they changed the law two months later
to 19. I did indeed take advantage of those two
months! Then I was grandfathered in when the law
changed again the next year, and was legal to drink all
through college even though those a year younger
than me had to wait until they were 21. I was the last
of a lucky generation of teenagers.

This probably deserved it's own thread, but oh well.

Peabodys I remember going there and seeing some cool bands. Did you ever see a really good cover band Locals Only. A friend of mine has one of their albums some where. They covered the cure, inxs, plimsouls, and all of the 80s bands.

Yes, I remember them. I was getting ready to chastize

I only mentioned the bar named Locals Only and not
the band named Locals Only. heh. They were good.

You're on, Duke 04. We'd better take it to the games
forum, tho.

How you want to work it? We could do a line or two
from a song, and the other would have to guess the
title and artist.

Or we could do a what year something was released
thing.

I REALLY wish we could do "Name that Song" with short
mp3s or something. But not sure how we could work
that here.
