I was in high school during the 80's and spent the next 15 years trying to forget about the music.Hair bands, Lipstick bands...too much glam and not enough substance.
Post your memories, rock, pop, new wave, disco....whatever :dance:

Do you listen to Van Halen, not Van Hagar? :D
The best stuff of the 80's wasn't on the radio. I was a DJ back then, as well as a car stereo installer and janitor! Anything to afford College.
Fast Forward to 1:23 to omit the douchebag commentary. Apologies for the tinny audio quality.

This group's sound was ripped off by most 80's bands. This video and track still holds up for me today IMHO...brilliant bass line at the end.

Black Cars - Gino Vanelli - The Club mix (the one I remember hearing in the clubs). He won a juno for best produced album for this...he was the first Canuck to produce his own 12" mix, instead of relying on some DJ to do it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bywB2rkvbP8
I used to work at Radio Shack installing car stereos and Christine next door used to let me "borrow" the demo 12" singles from her record shop next door. I was a DJ at night and asked if I could buy 'em when they were finished (but not before I made a tape copy) :)

I put in some big 12" woofers in my dad's car, and cranked this at the local McDonald's drive through and the girl behind the counter was impressed! Got a couple of dates out of it, anyway :D This was before people were putting subwoofers in cars...shoulda marketed it then!! See, if you put a circuit board call a millihenry in there it separates the bass....oh never mind!!!!

That's the break-up song to end all break-up songs. The only other break-up song I ever really dug was Ben Folds Five "Song for the Dumped". I should take this time to thank you for Jim Carroll's "People Who Died". I love that song.

1988. It's really weird, this song feels like it belongs to the 90s alternative scene. I guess '88 and '89 was really the death of what was considered 80s music, and the beginning of the alternative phase of things.

Most of what I'm posting was a taste I acquired after I grew up a little long after the 80s new wave scene died, but I actually liked these guys back when I was growing up.

I like them so much, you're getting two. The Especially For You album was fantastic.

I like this thread...it made me think back to what I liked back then...like I said I was not mainstream...here's some that came to me. I was in a band and heavily into the Beatles because I wanted to be a Musician and my taste reflected this a bit so I see.
I am a bit more flexible now. :D
Big surprise on this first one...Paul McCartney's My Brave Face. This was '89 so just in the 80's. My dad had just passed away, I was 24 and lost. Moved to England (Eastham) and this was constantly on the radio. Identified with the lyrics big time "...now that I'm alone again, can't stop breaking down again" etc. Found out later I went to England for that half year to find "my brave face"

On a lighter note, like I said I was very 60's retro in the 80's as many of us were. This sound really harkened back to that era... Phil Seymour's Precious to Me..

And again with this one...Marshall Crenshaw - Someday Some Way. He played Buddy Holly in La Bamba - for obvious reasons...

Here's a group that may have fallen under your radar...GTR with When the Heart Rules The Mind. Sounded like Starship...was a supergroup of some Genesis guys and some Yes guys...

And one more...a bit off the beaten track this one...Larsen/Feiten Band - Who'll be the fool tonight
