so does anyone actually like 80s music?

[Sean]

i know i sure as hell don't. the only reason i ask is cause me and poppycockthefool have this debate almost daily. shes in love with the lameness of it and recites the lyrics non stop. please stop the madness.

[Xcalibur]

Loverboy + metallica+ depeche mode+ some u2 = pure orgasms

[Miss X]

If there is one thing in life I hate (besides cucumber) its 80's music!!!

[Drew2]

I. HATE. IT.

I used to have to listen to it as my mom drove us an hour across town every morning when i was like 7-8. I hate hate hate hate it so much. I'd prefer to have a power drill to my temple than sit and listen to 80's music with the stupid fake electronic noises.
/cry

[Sean]

i see old man sintik viewing he probably loves it cause most old people do.

[Xcalibur]

Eh, I think to like something you must had been there when it was created.

Most people my age hates the 60's and the early 70's music, simply because they didn't lived the era.

[Halfsilver]

::Sings:: Video killed the radio star

[Skirmisher]

In a shocking turn of events I declare my love for 80's music.

Shut up Tijay.

[Sean]

thats because you're old skirmisher i expected that from you.

now back to watching clue.

[Halfsilver]

I'm 22. Does that make me old?

[AnticorRifling]

My mood has said if I like it or not for the last month or so.

[Halfsilver]

Heh you just played GTA VC and got it stuck in your head. Doesn't mean you like it!

Clue! Ha! I got that one on DVD too.

Had to get it after my tape wore out.

"To make a long story short..Too Late!"

[Sean]

1+2+1+1+2 = 80s music sucks.

[Ravenstorm]

Love it. Much better than the crap they play today.

Raven

[Halfsilver]

Agreed, Tijay.

[Soulpieced]

I love that one song they play in the commercial for GTA: VC.

[Xcalibur]

And I run

I run so far away

And I run

I run all night and day

Just to get away

Cannot not like that song, even less when ramming those bastards:lol:

[Snapp]

I like some of it.. there's no option for that!

[Czeska]

Having done most of my "growing up" then, yeah I like it. Mostly what was considered alternative at the time though..
The Smiths, the Cure, Depeche, Siouxsie and the Banshees...etc

[Sean]

i could add one snapp but you couldnt change your vote anyway. bastard.

[Scott]

I like some. There was some good music from the 80's, however there is always some bad music too. That goes for every "age of music" though. Ask HarmNone what she thought of the 30's music.....

Listen to some real 80s music.

I sure dont remember any stupid fake anything about Black Flag.


also if you want to talk popular. Queen, Pink Floyd etc made horrible music during the 80s :rolleyes:

[Anebriated]

The other side of that TOJ is bands like Metallica who did their best in the 80's...

Dont make fun of 30s music.

Bill Monroe is awesome.

i guess i shoulda clarified that she and i debate about crappy 80s techno/pop music. it makes me wanna cut my ears off.

Bastard.

I'm actually a fan of all different types of music. I even enjoy some rap. (That probably scares people since everyone seems to think I have gray hair or something.) I hate Country, I hate retarded heavy metal shit IE Slipknot where every other sentence is FUCK THE WORD. FUCK YOU. FUCK EVERYTHING, FEEL MY HATE!

So my age doesn't play a factor. I enjoyed some of the 80's music.
There is a lot of good music from the 80's if you are into this type (Note, I do not like all these bands). Michael Jackson, Genisis, Def Lepord, Beach Boys, Bon Jovi, The Bangles, The Stones, Whitesnake, Warrent, Bad English, REM, U2, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Ozzy, The Cure, Chicago, G N' R..... Those are just a few. I personally don't like some of them but they are pretty popular and it's not horrible or nothing.

[Kurapira]

I HATE 80's music. Journey, ABBA, Cutting Crew and Army of Lovers can fucking rot in hell for all I care.

With that said, I think you get my POV.

[Sean]

apparently more old people read the boards and voted then i thought would. there goes the theory that the elderly don't vote.

[peam]

Uh..

The Smiths, The Pixies, Duran Duran, Minor Threat, Michael Jackson, The Police, Dead Kennedys.. etc... etc... et-fucking-c...

Anyone who's afraid to admit that the 80's contributed GREATLY to music is ignorant.

only if you're assuming that those people think music post 80s is worth listening to. personally i dont care fore most of those bands you listed or the bands that came after.

[Skirmisher]

But...but.....but you suck.

[Razarn]

Nothing wrong with the 80's Ac/Dc , Van Halen , Black Sabbath , Ted Nugent amongst others ( ah my youth) but I think the thread is referring to the new wave /disco/ techno shit that was happening then too.....that was a crock.

Add me to the old timers who vote list Tijay

AARP aint a mad powerful Pac for nuttin. :)

You can't knock 80's music. Some of them are okay. Now people just make remakes of them now.

P.S. I don't wanna hear it Sean.

[Tsa`ah]

Depends on the band ... I like most good 80s music.

Peam gets 10 points for listing the Dead Kennedy's

[Weedmage Princess]

80's music is GOOD. Besides, Tijay, your favorite musician of all time, Kenny G, came out in the 80's!

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Peam gets 10 points for listing the Dead Kennedy's>>

I subtract those 10 points by listening to them. I'm uncool like that.

(See, I can be hip too :smug: )

I have to throw my voice in and say I love 80s music sorry Tijay but I'm old...

[Soulpieced]

I actually used to listen to an 80's only station in high school. Sad I know.

[StrayRogue]

A-HA - Take on me

80's rule.

Hey! So did I!

Granted.. it WAS back in the 80's...... :sniffle:

[Zeyrin]

I love the majority of 80's stuff. There was such a wide variety of music back then that was good. Shit like New Kids on the Block, Debbie Gibson and all the hair bands that got signed in the late 80's purely because they looked like women and had great hair.....SUCK!!!

I liked the new wave stuff from the early to mid 80's like A Flock of Seagulls, Human League, Thompson Twins, Simple Minds, Howard Jones, ect. If you can remember the 70's and how shitty disco was, New Wave bands were a god send.

The Police, Talking Heads and U2 were absolutely huge. Rush is another band that had killer stuff in the early to mid 80's. I'm not going to include Jacko the Wacko because I never really liked anything that freak put out.

Motley Crue, Ratt, Poison, Billy Idol, Whitesnake, Ozzy, Def Leppard, Scorpions and all the early hair bands still hold slots in my "favorite of all time lists." Bands like Cinderella, Warrant and White Lion were the beginning of the end for "hair band" metal. I don't see how they got into the metal genere. I guess it sounded cool.

20 years ago, it was New Kids on the Block and New Edition. Today it's NSync, 98 degrees and Brittany Spears. 20 years from now you'll be seeing the majority of these newer bands on "Where Are They Now" because they lack the originality of bands from the 60's, 70's and 80's. Hell, look at the Rolling Stones, Kiss, and U2. They'll tour until they drop and still top the earning list.

Until record companies let rock stars be rock stars, the majority of the junk on radio today will still sound neutered. The reason why rap is so popular today is the "bad boy" image they carry because their record companies allow and promote that kind of behavior. The last true bad boy rock n roll band was Guns 'N Roses. Think about it.

To sum it all up, most 80's music rules in my book.

[Myshel]

My 17 year old daughter loves 80's music.

[Meos]

there was horrible music in the 80's and good music, sometimes it's hard to tell the differnce, but I gotta say I love the 80's good and bad.

[PoppycockTheFool]

Tijay really hates the 80's because he was forced to wear leg warmers and jelly shoes to preschool. Poor thing. :lol:

[Zeyrin]

Where they Day Glo by any chance? And did he have the "day of the week" underware?

[Sean]

poppycock was like 25 when i was in preschool. if she knows what type of underwear i was wearing someone please call the fbi.

[PoppycockTheFool]

He still wears the day of the week undies but never on the correct day. I think he has an off-the-shoulder sweatshirt too.

[Zeyrin]

Well, it could be worse. Tijay could have spent the first 10 years of his life in the 70's. Talk about horrible fashion. SHEESH!!

80's/90's hair bands RULE!

Cat

[Kalishar]

Count my vote in with loving it.

You can't listen to it all the time, but you put it on once in a while and it brings a nostalgic tear to my eye. Even though I was only born in '81.

[Chelle]

I love 80's music! I loved the 80's. I hated the fashion of that time though. I will confess I did wear jelly shoes and those plastic bracelets and hot pink clothing. Okay Im gonna shut up now.

I loved Bon Jovi, G & R, Poison..


shutting up.

I've got most of Poison's CDs. They're still not a great group by any means.

[Tsa`ah]

The Big Hair bands were the bastard children of the 80's.

Each and every one of them needs to be beaten to death.

[Hips]

I love 80s music. And 80s movies.

LABYRINTH IS GODLY!!

[Ilvane]

I watched Labyrinth the other day, and it was sooo good..

Sometimes bad clothing and music makes for such fun :lol: Back in the 80's it was actually good, though!

-A

[PoppycockTheFool]

Hahahaha 25 in the 80's..that's a good one. Its 2004 and I'll be 24 in August. Nice try taking the attention away from yourself you day-of-the-week-underwear-wearing pansy! jk ::smooches::

[Skirmisher]

Heh heh heh.

She called you a pansy. :)

I like jean jackets but the wrist slap braclets were dangerous and they would cut me so I sued the shit out of 5 companies that made them in true 80's fashion.

Oh, I also had bit parts in 16 Candles, Pretty In Pink and the Breakfast Club.

Yes, like Reganomics, I'm full of bullshit.

I love 80s music.. maybe this thread can answer me this question.

In the Best Buy commercial, the one with the 'It's a VCR...... WITH remote.' they're sitting on a camaro with the t tops down or something listening to a nice 80s song but I cant figure out what it is.. anyone know?

[The Cat In The Hat]

I think they're listening to Whitesnake in that best buy commercial if I remember right.

As for Poison... Ive seen them live 27 times! Yay me!
I've met them 6!

Yeah.. the drummer looks like a gay hairdresser (And he used to actually BE a hairdresser before the band) but WTF I still want him ROFLMAO

Cat

[Hulkein]

Ya know what Whitesnake song? I know it's not Here I go Again, and that's pretty much all that shows up when searched for.

[Souzy]

I remember when Kylie Minogue/Monogue came out with "Loco Motion". Damn that lady still looks hot. :thumbsup:

Google is your friend.

Sellout Watch:

Night Ranger's "Sister Christian" is begin used in a Best Buy commerical. In the spot, a mid-80's "cool guy", leaning on his Camaro, brags to friends about his VCR with "remote control" -- one of those original units with the corded remote. (Anyone else around here old enough to remember those? When my folks got cable tv in the early-80's, our "remote control" cable box had punch buttons -- ala old-school car radio buttons -- and a 20-foot-long cord!) My wife keenly opined that this ad pulls a bit of a Boogie Nights ripoff what with the song, setting and brightly-colored "hot rod" that dominate the scene.

[AnticorRifling]

Ever since this topic started I've had my streaming radio at my desk set to an all 80's station. Right now Tainted Love by Soft Cell is playing.

Great stuff.

[PoppycockTheFool]

I usually use that LaunchMusic thing on yahoo that has an 80's station. Maybe one day I'll get Tijay uber drunk and have him sing Wang Chung at a karaoke bar. :yes:

[Hulkein]

Thanks Wezas.

[Czeska]

AOL radio on broadband's 80's alternative station is good.
Shame AOL itself sucks.

And yes, I remember corded remotes. And I know those round things with the holes in the middle and the squirrely yellow things are called 45's. And when Rick Springfield was on General Hopsital (and Demi Moore too, for that matter).

That song is "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger.

The one song on GTA - Vice City is by A Flock of Seagulls and it's called "I Ran" in case you were all wondering. :?:

[Overlord]

Sorry but I am a fan of music that was still developing around oh say mid to late 80s, Bands like iced earth, angel dust, testament, slayer, carcass, anthrax bla bla got a large list... many of these bands still heavily producing music and thrashing around the country/world at various concerts... Tijay you must only be discussing the gay side of the muisc of that era

Zeyrin's correct! I happened to see it again yesterday heehee. There's one with whitesnake in it though I swear!

[CrystalTears]

So I guess I'm probably one of the very few who actually enjoyed watching the "I Love the 80's" segment on VH1. :(

[Hulkein]

I love that show it is hysterical.

[Zeyrin]

"I love the 80's" brought back things I forgot about the 80's. Man, it was like having a flashback. God bless you VH1!!!

[The Cat In The Hat]

I love the 80's was cool! I swear I didnt wear half those things... but then I was still pre-teen in the 80's
