80's music discussion

#36 made me laugh, had nothing better to do so went to a student union gig by The Toy Dolls, set was three songs long and that included Nellie the Elephant twice - bottles flying everywhere :-)

I do. I love the 80s music, i was 10 in 1984.

I always listen to the 80s channel on tv, loved every second of the 80s decade.

Some great tunes in there, bet there are songs older than a lot of the posters on here.

Me too. Born in 75 so the 80&s my decade for growing up to music

When Im working from home I usually have MTV 80's or NOW 80's on in the background

Well this is the indie chart from 1984

Was always more of a rock/indie fan but as general pop goes it’s by far the better half of the decade. It went rapidly down hill once Stock Aitken and Waterman appeared with their Linn 9000 drum machine.

Depeche mode, Style council and Bob Marley are the only three that are not completely shite.

Who is Howard Jones Ffs ? He appears twice in the list.

Yeah him and Nik Kershaw were quite alright as far as pop music can be. I think they wrote their own songs and played instruments at least and some of their stuff was catchy if a bit basic.

Multi instrumentalist and still touring now.

Howard Jones was a pop tune-machine back then.

And that aligned with the shell suit and bum bag combo, what a fucking dreary end to an amazing decade
