garymd Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Grateful Dead, "In The Dark." It's the only 80s album I can think of. Quote
fini Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 C'mon, Gary! What about NRBQ?? BTW, there's a nice NRBQ DVD just out! It's called "One In A Million", and it's a live 1989 performance. It's a fun look at the band back when Big Al was still with 'em. I got mine on eBay. Quote

Piranha Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Yeah I know everyone will probably bash me, but MJ Thriller is VERY good on SACD!! TMBG-Lincoln "In God's Country" sounds awesome on horns! Quote
Piranha Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 OK, only one? I'll say TMBG Lincoln then. Quote

Revision (in addition to In The Dark): NRBQ, Tiddly Winks Quote
boomac Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 I'll go with one of Piranah's choices. "Thriller" Several great tunes on that disc! Thanks to garymd, I have a fine mint copy to spin. Quote
toddvj Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Moon, Pyromania was a better album, IMO. The album that sticks out to me would have to be: Quote
m00n Posted February 3, 2005 Author Posted February 3, 2005 Ah yeah... Shout at the Devil. Can you tell me what you were doing the first time you heard the entire tape? I can.... Coming home from a High School marching band trip. We stopped at mall for some strange reason. Picked up the tape. Me and a fellow rocker sat in the back with my little boombox and rocked out all the way home. Yeah BABY! Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 i was waiting hard core for Thriller, I knew some one would say that, but i do have to say that thriller on sacd is the best sacd I have ever heard no doubt. I'm not a huge fan of the '80's music although i have a lot of 80's vinyls and no player lol Quote
m00n Posted February 3, 2005 Author Posted February 3, 2005 Yeah I admit, Thriller was a very good CD. Too bad that he became so odd. Quote
jt1stcav Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 There are many '80s favorites for me from such groups as AC/DC, Styx, Fleetwood Mac, Robert Plant, et al... But not to upset ol' m00n, there can only be one, and for me that's: 1981 - Phil Collins: Face Value Quote
Vavoline Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Richard Simmons - Sweatin to The Oldies...probably too heavy for some of you. Quote
Joe Shmoe Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Ah good choice mOOn. Todd, that was going to be my choice... excellent album, have you read "The Dirt"? If not I would recommend it! So I guess I'll pick: Quote

If you had to Pick 1 and only 1 CD to be your fav. grumble grumble friggen, grumble grumble rule breakers. ---------------- , indeed! I always have trouble when someone asks me something like my "favorite song of all time" or "favorite food"... there are so many, and one's moods are constantly changing, it is almost impossible for me to nail down just one, even within a limited period of release. Plus, there are different criteria to consider when deciding on a "favorite": artistic value, the way it made you feel at the time, the way it has stood the test of time. Most albums that I really liked at one time or another I do not listen to very often, simply because my early enthusiasm has worn off because of repeated listenings. I can't listen to half the songs on Born in the USA anymore, because of the air-overplay they received at the time. If I were to choose one which has stood the test of time, and still gives me chills when I hear it, it would have to be Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen... this album was released just before Born in the USA, and in fact, many of the songs from ...USA were recorded as demos at the same time. I was one of only about 100,000 people who bought Nebraska upon its initial release (many more sales came later, after he became Huge). All the songs were essentially "demos" that Springsteen recorded, with the intention of playing them for the E Street Band, to be played in their tradional rocking style... but he and his producer liked the sounds of the originals so much ("stark" was one word used at the time, and it fitted the mood of the pieces), they gussied them up and released the original demos. It was a harbinger of the MTV "Unplugged" era, and he actually adopted that "folk" style on some of the Born in the USA tracks in concert (in later years). Quote

markmaple Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Speaking of Billy Idol, I highly recommend the Billy Idol DVD "VH1 Storytellers". Performed in a small club. Soundtrack is great (even has DTS). I rarely see it mentioned or in a stored. I ordered from DeepDiscountDvd. Steve Stevens is awesome as usual. Off the top of my head, I would also have to cast my vote for "The Joshua Tree". In fact, I think I will go listen to it. It's been a little while. Quote
