Favorite 80's bands

[PhDhawk]

I always thought Weird Al shoulda parodied Springsteen with “baby we’ve both got the runs”


And instead of a sax solo just have a buncha fart sounds

I thought Hungry Heart should be stinky fart.

“I’m on fire” is actually a song about an 85 bowel movement.

yeah, it doesn't need a parody, it already is one.

And may serve as the best example of why women should never refer to their male sex partners as "daddy".

Sigh

It's just another day for you and me in paradise.

Did you even listen to the 1st one? It's like two different bands. And the latter isn't a good one.

I tried, I had to fast forward through the flute solo, and then when it didn't get any better I just wanted to hear Phil rock out.

Now I'm listening to Sussudio.

And without mumbling through songs we'd have never had Bob Dylan, or REM, or Pearl Jam

Is this supposed to be a bad thing?

You're one of those who can dish it out but not take it.

Happy to shit on everyone else's tastes but lack the balls to present your own.

Without Springsteen, Courtney Cox would have never been discovered and Friends would never have existed...just imagine what a void we would all have in our lives.

those dance moves are sexy as hell.



courtney's weren't bad either.

[ousdahl]

Dire Straits definitely, but I was never a Rush fan.

Others:
- Depeche Mode
- The Cure
- The Smiths
- New Order
- Psychedelic Furs
- Violent Femmes
- Jesus & Mary Chain

I got more into the "alternative" 80's music in HS.

GG Allin was part of this era too

Wow, I didn't expect you to turn into a bitch on this.

I don't like Springsteen. Definitely do not like Pearl Jam. Never cared for REM.

Not sure how these opinions are shitting on anyone.

I'm open to the idea that not everyone likes the music I like, but I will also maintain that country music - listening to it, playing it, or exposing others to it - should be a capital offense.

Tdub's gone B mad

[jhawks99]

And ifin you don't like Johnny and Hank, you're a GD communist.

[TDub]

If youre talking about what they call "country" the last decade or so....ok. otherwise, youre missing out on some good music.

[ousdahl]

Country music used to be so cool - some strung out folk-blues antihero singing grim narratives about the human condition to an audience of prisoners.

now, it’s basically a Ford truck commercial.

Add George Jones to this list.

Thats not country. Thats money grabbing bullshit. Just like most pop.

Same thing has happened to hip hop

[TDub]

Wrong thread....but happy late Birthday Tupac. Missed it yesterday.

Also...are you only referring to Cash?

[ousdahl]

Well, outlaw country in general, and much of early country/blues/folk/roots music.

But yeah, modern country is so homogenous. Trucks, cold beer, blue jeans, small towns, dirt roads, cute little girls in sun dresses (who go on to write songs about how their ex was a small town drunk so they keyed his truck)
