I cant really recall. I have Pleasure Dome, but my mum (grr) had a few records of theirs, they may have been singles. I adore "Relax" so much, I got into trouble at primary school for singing it! My Catholic teacher wasnt impressed at all!Quote:
Didn't they make one album only (Welcome to Pleasuredome)
What about alternative bands like Sonic Youth, Pixies & Throwing Muses?
Without these 80's bands, today's music scene would be VERY different.
80's were great, but IMO the 90's were better.
80s the best decade for music, SPECIALLY for rock and metal:simon:
Michael Jackson and Prince : The Crusaders Of The 80's.
In fact I'm gonna make that an RP.
God I smurfing hate 80s music. My least favourite decade for music by far. Blegh. I just can't stand any of the new wave, or electronicy, or just bad stuff that it produced. I don't like a lot of the instruments present in many of the bands at the time. Rubs me in all the wrong ways.
90s and onwards, please.
Those were about the only good things coming out of the 80s. Overall the music was pretty bad.Quote:

I grew up on 80's music, and I adore it. Bryan Adams, Queen, Michael Jackson (back when he was cool), Prince, The Police, U2, REM, John Cougar Mellencamp, David Bowie, Billy Joel, Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, Don Henley, Peter Gabriel, Def Leppard, The Cure, Elton John, KISS, Scorpions, Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen, Roxette, INXS, Simple Minds, AC/DC, Blondie, Eric Clapton, Ray Parker Jr. (GHOSTBUSTERS! :D), Kenny Loggins, The Eurythmics, Split Enz, Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Cold Chisel, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Tears For Fears, Bruce Hornsby, Richard Marx, UB40, The Beach Boys, Men at Work, Survivor, J. Geils Band... what's not to like?
Duran Duran and the like were terrible, but to dismiss the 80's because of its cheesy pop music would be foolish (and because by that logic, the 90's would be much, much worse). It wasn't a good decade for rock music, besides a few great bands like The Pixies and REM, but the awesome rap and new wave music made up for it. :D
Forgot about Madness, the Pixies and REM. I should be shot. I adore them.
