ChezGiven 0 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Seriously though, I'm no CT when it comes to alternative music, but if I want to listen to a man shouting atonally for between two and eighteen minutes I can go to Lewisham High Street whenever I want to. You might have a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19825 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 i'm with meenzer when it comes to the fall. i love the cure's 80s stuff though - particularly their post-punk boys don't cry/killing an arab, 10.15 on a saturday night era. love the bassline on this gem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19825 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 actually, that may well have been 70s come to think of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Used to love Ministry. Faith No More were fucking mint too, if we're talking 80s shit. FTM were class like, still listen to them now. I think anyone here who knows music knows the 80s produced some cracking stuff. I think everyone is missing the point though in that we were talking about CT saying he loved the 80s music and I pretty much guarantee thats not what we're on about when we say the decent stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 THe Fall are massive like. Prefer the more electroniky stuff like when his girlfriend was on keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I've a box of vinyl in my garage and I've been threatening to get a player for far too long and then start adding to my collection. Our lass isnt too keen on the idea mind Most of my stuff was on tape and thats long gone sadly. Still have some good stuff though. Album covers were a thing then as well. I remember thinking the Beatles White Album was meant to be covered in random images until I realised my Dad had covered it in bizarre stickers.

Think they lost a little something after that. I know Jim Martin left and he think he was important to their sound, even if he seemed anachronistic in the context of his band mates.

Mainly cos it was a piece of piss to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19825 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 there were indeed some class indie bands around in the 80s, most of which i got into in the early 90s - blur, inspiral carpets, james, pavement, the la's, the wonder stuff, stone roses et al - but there was a lot of shite around as well.

ChezGiven 0 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I would only consider the 70s as an alternative in the 'best decade' debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 2929 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Tbh, there is a lot of decent music from all decades, it's a matter of finding stuff and not relying on anything that involves a top ## chart. Something new for you Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 One of my favourite albums to date, also from the 80s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something new for you Alex. Really like that. Reminds me of something else but I can't remember what exactly atm. Edit: bit like some DeepChord stuff but with drums.
