Cal Blacksmith Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Was there any good music in the 80's ? I am a product of the 60s and 70s. By the 80s I was listening to "oldies" I would agree with Max, DSOM is great. I have 5150, I picked it up at a thrift store for a buck. Not bad, some good tracks that went on to be hits. I also have 52nd street by Billey Joel. Same thing, a buck at a thrift store. I rather like it, more good tracks than 5105. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.4knee Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 If I were to consider a second ...just to break m00n's rules... I would have to also look at U2 Rattle and Hum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I just remember in high school in the early eighties the girls listening to all that depressing crap from Lionel Ritchie. "Hello, is it me your looking for...." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 I can't go with one ties: Anything by Bob Seger, Rod stewart, Phil Collins, Eric Clapton. No offense Ritchie's Still was the song with my ex-wife, will always be. Wonderful Tonight by E. C. could have been written by me to her as with Elton's Your Song. Sorry mOOn, have to pull rank, I'm older. Seger's Like A Rock CD Shows a similar, wonder what happened to time. Don't want to reunite with ex, but I'm glad for what we had, adding another song, Lady. She was. It's hard to pick one when one goes through a lot as we all do in a decade. I don't mean to mess up your thread mOOn. Or was Like A Rock the '90s? Has one of the best slide solos, grabs you and takes you on a ride. Great thread, my hat is off to you. Win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 Thats ok Dodger. I'll let it slide. If we starting talking about singles say songs like 80's pop? I think one of my all time fav 80's pop songs has to be Voices Carry by Til Tuesday. That is SUCH a good song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgb Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Well, I didn't want to cheat so I only posted U2 War. But my other finalists were Genesis Duke and Peter Gabriel 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael hurd Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Phil Collins, Cd: Hello, I must be going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Man, I had forgotten about Asia - that really was a great album and brings back some good high-school memories. I remember making a friend listen to it at my house. I was a big Yes fan - he expected the 33 minute song. I remember how blown away he was.

Well, between David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar era. ---------------- 5150 has some great songs and I think it flows good as a whole album. Not just a CD with a couple of good songs on it.

mustang1 Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I must vote for any Van Halen from the very late 70's into the 80's. Every Van Halen concert was pure quality with soundsystem created to shock the audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddvj Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Actually, you're both wrong. It was no ticket (without the s) required. Not that I had ever heard of it until now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael hurd Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I just googled Phil Collins and found out that No Tickets Required is a video that was released on vhs, and laserdisc. No jacket requied is the compact disc. So you were all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr-dezibel Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Ozzy/'tallica/Van Halen/Slayer/Leppard/Crue on the "hard" side have already been mentioned. On the "softer" side were Dire Straits/Genesis/Gabriel/Collins/Yes and many more. Pick only one CD, very hard! Almost too hard!!! OK, I try: One of my favourites back in the 80's were the ugly hairy texas boys. My vote: ZZ Top - Eliminator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
