No probs, anytime :D

Nothing but the greatest song ever.

80's
 

So... I know I'm new here, but I have scoured this site for 80s discussion. I have used the search feature to find myself an 80's thread but...nothing.

If you can show me a good 80s thread or a "blast to the past" subforum I'd appreciate it. What gives? :confused:


I need new synth music that is relative and dancy

80s synth/rock/ dance I already like:
OMD
Michael Jackson
New Order
Duran Duran
INXS
Fleetwood Mac
Robbie Dupree
Thompson Twins
Depeche Mode
Pet shop Boys
Tears for Fears
Siouxsie and the Banshees
journey
david bowie
Adam Ant
Simple Minds
Queen
cars
the clash
elton john
a-ha
America
Toto
Madonna
Wham!
Blondie
STyx
The Cure
Run DMC

80's I dont really like and/or haven't been able to get into:
guns n roses
flock of seagulls
b-52s
bananarama
genesis
huey lewis and the news
Ratt
metalica
scorpions
Kiss
Ultravox
beach boys
most 80s hair metal

That is not to say its not good and shouldn't be discussed, I just don't like it. Whatever you do... just don't recommend me 80s hair metal. Thanks! :love:
If you can convince me a band I have blacklisted is good, then kudos to you.

Moved to this thread as we have no dedicated 80's thread due to the sheer diversity of the music on offer. The Pop forum looks your best bet.

Get this album;

^ Probably my favourite 80s pop album of all time.

I'm making another playlist of rock songs or post-punk dunno the categories these days. So far I have Rise Against and Alexisonfire, but I only like some of the songs and I need your help giving me bands that sound like these.

The types of rise against ones I like are:
ReEducation through labor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4jamzoRY_Y
Collapse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcxyp8_zl58
or any song on this playlist: http://www.youtube.com/my_playlists?...7A761474935EF4

With Alexisonfire I like the songs where Dallas sings a lot the guy who isn’t doing the screaming:
Born and Raised: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dOvUcDfi_M&NR=1
Young Cardinals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUJtB...eature=related

I know this is a lot to ask and any help would be great.

Children of Bodom
 

Hi everyone,

I recently started to listen to Children of Bodom, In Flames, Ensiferum, some other stuff like that, and I was just wondering your thoughts on them? Recommendations for groups like them would be very much appreciated. Thanks! :)

Sport Movie soundtracks
 

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone could recommend some of the best songs that usually go along with movies such as 'Remember the Titans', 'Glory Road', movies like these that are set back in that time.

Or just songs in general from that time that are really famous or catchy or just plain great :)

Thank you ^^

For Hammers of Misfortune fans
 

There's a song for them called "The Trial and the Grave", which sounds unlike anything they have done.

What songs / bands would you recommend that would sound similar to this song ?
