wow! some pure cheese going down in here !
Thanks Doug for the awesome video. I grew up in the 80's (graduated high school in 90). I owned a Sequential Circuits Six Track and a Roland R8 drum machine hooked via MIDI to a Amiga computer running Dr T's MRS sequencer. One of the great things about the Six Track is that it was one of the first multitimbral synths.
I still love my SQ Six Track! Wish it would sync to the outside world.
Talk Talk was an incredible band. The later records are just phenomenal, Spirit of Eden in particular
Great underrated 80's band fronted by producer Tony Mansfield.

This thread has now gone way beyond my video, so I thought I would rename it, so many fantastic and revolutionary bands and artists here
I was born in '83, so I'm a little late to the party, but one band I haven't seen mentioned yet is the Replacements. One of my all time favorites and recently reunited!

I absolutely love that track. Wasn't so keen on Livimg by Numbers, but bought the New Musik album when it came out. Lovely stuff. Also Art of Noise, Thomas Dolby, Bill Nelson, early Visage are in the collection somewhere. This was my fave synth pop album though:
You know this thread also reminds me of how much I miss vinyl, its so expensive now to use vinyl, but there was something sublimely tactile about putting an album in a turntable
I miss discovering new music by buying cheap albums in record shops or catching bands at festivals. You didn't get to hear the obscure stuff in the 80's, apart from the John Peel show, so you'd pick up bits from friends, or by taking a chance and buying something with a cover that looked like the sort of thing you'd be into. I got into a lot of music that way, particularly the German stuff.
Hell I'm miss John peel
Want more German stuff?

Beginning of the end as far as guitar solos are concerned
I also remember the Synth vs Heavy Matal 'wars' during my school years

Ha, that made me laugh
In the 80s we got rid of guitar solos and in the 90s we got rid of vocals
Uh, the 80's certainly didn't get rid of guitar solos. Poison, Warrant, Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, VanHalen, and countless other bands I'd like to forget kept the guitar in the spotlight.
Ah yes of course, I forgot about shredding. That's a different category all together!

I like the Kraftwerk, don't know some if the other stuff - interesting though!
I'd recommend checking out Neu, Cluster and Ash Ra Tempel - more 70's really but the did some good stuff in the 80s too

well, let's say the cool people did, I guess you could say the same about the 90s, but maybe I was shaking my behind to techno while you still shook your long hair to grunge?
@monzo said:
yeah I've got all that stuff too,
I wonder what the German stuff sounds like if you don't speak German, it must sound even more absurd. That's why I posted it, hope it's entertaining
@lala - I didn't say that I was into Hair Metal; I just acknowledged its existence. As for the 90's - long hair and long beard; Punk, Garage Punk, Noise, Stoner Rock, Electronica and, yes, Grunge. The Techno people weren't all that cool - it was the ecstasy that made you feel that way. ;-)
Van Halen...guitars?
I never ment "Hair Metal" but rather Metal Hair, its great, it gets darker with age and rust.
Im halfway grey now. Lol
@lala said:
Me too
I looked like a hair metal fan in the 80's due to my hair being halfway down my back for the whole decade, but in fact I can't stand that type of music, I was actually a damn hippy freak.
Being a bit of a 80,s Jazz Funkster myself loving this clip of Herbie Hancock using a CMI Fairlight clip on Sesame Street!
Doug, 1980 Liverpool, just curious if you ever ran into Pete Burns? Dead or Alive w/Saw really brought a whole new level of complexity to drum programming in the mid 80s ... To my ears the beat to "Brand New Lover" was rehashed for years in various forms until the "stab" took over as the next big dance thing in the nineties. Maybe it was more the Saw production team than DOA, but it seems they were an early precursor to what is now referred to as EDM.
Also, for those of us growing up stateside 80s, most synth/new wave material lived or died on MTV. Fitting Trevor Horn's Buggles were the first video played in August 1981. They used to have like 50 videos and sign off at 10pm, but that swiftly changed by the time Human League released their vid for "Don't You Want Me." That was like THE song for 1982. It was everywhere. After that, getting your vid into heavy rotation on MTV was crucial, and propelled the careers of some of your mates like Frankie, Flock of Seagulls and a lot of the bands mentioned in this thread into the US/international spotlight.
When did MTV arrive in the UK?
Artists I'd add to this list: Devo, Peter Schilling, Berlin and the amazing Tony Carey's Planet P Project.
