Pilchard Chops 0 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 If any decade was musically bereft it was the eighties. The Stone Roses released a very interesting but hardly groundbreaking album and then followed it up with a Led Zep clone of an album that was shite.

peasepud 59 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 ahhh the 80's, such memories...well what I can remember the time time from 86 thru to 88 seems to have disappeared. Lets see now..... Films...... Risky Business Weird Sceince Ferris Buellers days off Breakfast Club Music...... Some classic records came out during this time, things such as Depeche Mode - Just cant get enough Erasure - Sometimes New Order - Blue Monday Peter Gabriel - Big Time B52's - Love Shack Visage - Fade to Grey The there was the birth of the home computer, ZX81, VIC 20, C64, Spectrum, Amiga.. I was a Commodore kid, you couldnt give a rubber key nah, I wanted a proper keyboard with a matching tape deck. I had a VIC20, C64 and then an Amiga still the C64 was my fave learnt the wonders of computer music and my first ever sight of a multimedia program where someone had taken the Aceeed music and stuck some freaky flashing imgaes and smilie faces to it.

They really exploded 90 /91 anyway and rereleased the singles from 89. When I think of the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Charlatans I think the beginning of the 90's. It all ties in with me leaving school and getting fked up ..happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 We have had a fair few of there over the boards (and years) so heres another to discuss all your favourite things from the 1980s.. 33040[/snapback] I used to think it was all shite, but it's not really. Some of it's a bit cheesy, but quite good. I quite like some of it. I blame that on getting Vice City a couple of years back. There was some really good stuff as well. The Clash had a couple of good albums out in the early 80s (although Cut The Crap in 1985 wasn't great). And there was New Order and The Smiths of course. Later on you had The Jesus and Mary Chain, and then Primal Scream of course, and then you had The Stone Roses and The Happy Mondays of course. I don't like a lot of Dance music these days, but stuff from the late 80's, early 90s was canny. Ride On Time, which was 1989, I think is the best Dance tune ever. Other than that: FILMS Back To The Future 1 Back To The Future 2 (Part 3 was made at the same time as 2 but 2 was released in 1989, and 3 in 1990) Ferris Bueller Rocky III, IV, V The Goonies Gremlins Ghostbusters TV PROGRAMMES First off, the Tyne Tees introductions.

Must have been watched by just about every kid in Primary School in the 80s. At my school we watched Dark Towers, Badger Girl, Fairground, and of course Geordie Racer. We thought Geordie Racer was class cos it was set in Newcastle and people were speaking Geordie, and to see that on the telly when we were kids was a bit of a novelty to us. http://www.lookandread.fsnet.co.uk/stories...ndex.html#clips I also liked the educational songs that were in all the series, especially Magic E and Bill The Brickie. I remember on Geordie though instead of "Why don't you build yourself a word" the song went "Why divint ye build yersel a ward" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
