80's music

I fucking love it, I grew up listening to it because of my parents, but now that I'm in my mid 20's I can't stop remembering all the good times when I was a child hearing these songs.  I watch the 'Lifetime 80's Gold' infomercial every time it is on. I feel kinda  when I jam to this shit, but it's just so fucking addicting.  I've gone through phases of listening to rock, hip/hop, and then rock again, but I never get tired of the good old corny 80's jams.  Anybody else have a hidden love for 80's music?


St. Elmo's Fire

and my link got fucked...

here we go

if im drunk maybe, but sober, i have a tough time listening to 80's pop. my wife loves the 80's new wave stuff like New Order, Depeche Mode, Roxy Music...im so sick of it

80's metal/punk/hardcore

Metallica (first 4 albums only), Anthrax, Misfits, Minor Threat D.R.I.

Ratt n Roll

kojack....whats up wit the mullet, pulled up striped socks and John Stockton short shorties?!?!?!?!

I know most people feel an attachment to the genre of music they grew up with. I walk down the street and see 50 yr old guys blasting CCR or the Doors from their garage while working on their Harley bikes..but I am in the 80s camp as well.

Not the REO speedwagon or Chicago or Ratt personally.

I prefer the techno that some dislike here and then the rap stuff like Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Fat Boys and also the industrial music which spilled over into the 90s.

Also keep in mind that techno/industrial really spanned the late 80s into the middle 90s..

So here are a few of my favs-

Erasure
Front242
DM
New Order
PetShopBoys
OMD
808 State
Cocteau Twins

Here is a great site for band names

Great list..I had forgotten some groups I liked.

The 80's music always makes me laugh...you're right about it bringing back good memories though, always reminds me of my childhood too.

Good call.........Genesis/Phil Collins had a lot of great stuff during the 80's
