While I agree with SQ to a certain degree, 80's music IS cool. Particularly like Bon Jovi, but am into a bunch of other stuff (Some Phil Collins, Def Leppard, etc.).

[Zaf]

80's music is great , when it comes on the radio thats cool.

But lately I'm into Radiohead , Leonard Cohen, GNR , and the Moody Blues (in search of the Lost Chord).

ZAFONIC

[IRISHLADSTABLE]

So busy telling you about Jimmy Jr didnt tell you my favorite

Give me a Fleetwood Mac tune anyday.

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are the greatest

Most of the '80s music that I loved rarely got played on the radio or the video stations. Husker Du, The Jesus & Mary Chain, the Pixies, the Replacements, et al.

Saw them at Proctor's Theatre in Albany a few years ago. Good show, but when they went into "The Story In Your Eyes," the two guitarists almost fell off the stage while doing the solo.

Classic stuff from a good band.

We saw the Moody Blues at the Fox in St. Louis in the early 90's and they were great. Best concert we ever saw was about a month before when we saw 'Yes' during their Reunion Tour. All members that were ever in the band. Two guitarists, two drummers, two keyboardists, etc.

This will date me but my all time best goes back into the late 60's and 70's:

1. King Crimson - (Robert Fripp has got to be the best guitarist ever) They are still making music and touring.
2. Jethro Tull
3. Yes
4. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
5. John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra
6. Zepplein
7. Hendrix
8. Stevie Ray
9. Traffic/Blind Faith/Winwood/Clapton
10. Moody's

Derek, feeling gay?

Go to Boston....they can help you.;)

Saw the Moody Blues in person in an outdoor concert at the community college here - grat band, but funny how you guys a calling them a great 80's band....I always think of them as a great 60's band!

Tuesday Afternnon, Question, Nights in White Satin...great stuff.

I saw Tull a couple of times - unbelievaable live band - that flute player was amazing.

[Dan]

Tom,

Yes, I agree the late 60's to the 70's Bands were great. But then again I guess I'm getting old. The first seven albums of the Moody Blues are classics. Their later stuff was like old guys trying to rock and roll.

One of the best Jethro Tull albums besides Aqualung was an album called 'Benefit'.

Check out some 80's/90's King Crimson albums like 'Three of a Perfect Pair' and 'Discipline'. Unbelievable.

Isn't it going to be interesting when we get into our 60's or 70's (years of age). Like our parent's generation were always playing Glen Miller, Nat King Cole, Sinatra, which are all great.

But in my old age I'll have Hendrix, Zepplein, Crimson, Tull, Yes, ELP, the Stones, Skynrd, etc. cranked up on the old stereo as I shuffle around the house with my walker.

In Search of the Lost Chord is awesome, I have been listening to it for years. Its one of the few albums that never tires on me.

... Ian Anderson. :cool:

Gotta love the exacting riffs of David Gilmore (although I've got to say I was never afflicted with bouts of gender confusion :eek: )

[Tom]

King Crimson...In the Court of the Crimson King - could only be listened to at full volume (until Dad came knockin' on my door!) hehehe.

Man i can't stand that freakin flute,it just doesn't do it for me.
Pink Floyd,KISS,Cheap Trick are some of the bands that came into the 80s and still prospered.I still go see the trick when they come to town because it never is the same show,playing just the hits,they mix up the set,usually don't play many of the songs you know unless you are really into their music.
Several years ago I went to see them and in the middle of the set(and song ) the bass player jumps off the stage and pukes,then runs to the bathroom.But he came back and finished the show,not missing a beat.
I grew up with the Hair bands in high school and satellite radio is about the only place you can get alot of that music around here.
Best shows in the 80s(that I saw):

Triumph
Kiss
Warrant
Motley Crue

saw others but they sucked compared to the Album (bon jovi and Aerosmith comes to mind )but i still like the music.Wow, Derek comes up with a interesting thread.Bout time


IF ITS TOO LOUD YOUR TOO OLD:p

[Dan]

That's great there are other Tull and Crimson fans on here.

Did anyone ever get into Frank Zappa? Of course you must be in the right state of mind to appreciate his music like:

"Don't Eat The Yellow Snow"
-----------------------------------
Well I turned around and I said "Ho, Ho"
And the northern lights commenced to glow
And she said, with a tear in her eye
"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow"
"Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow"

"Penquin In Bondage"
----------------------------
She's just like a penguin in Bondage, boy
Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Oh...
Rennenhenninnahenninnenninahennn
Way over on the wet side
Of the bed.

:)

Hard to believe Tony Iommi was with Tull for about a month in the late 60s. Imagine songs like Bungle in the Jungle with a dark, dreary sound.

[OTM Al]

Ah, 80s music. REM, the Cure, U2 (before they became full of it), New Order, The Police. Loved that stuff. The decade when pop finally caught up to David Bowie, yet he remained cool. The hair bands humored me, especially Motley Crue and Poison, but they just seemed silly in the face of good metal...and then there was the defining band of the 80's. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Spinal Tap!

[Tom]

Ah yes, Frank Zappa and the Mothers.

Zafonic and Tom,
