Sound of the crowd - Human League.

Had the full phil oakey hair in the early mid eighties (I thought it looked good at the time

)

toto - africa, classic

I'm liking it.. Human League, OMD oh for the 80's... 1980 for precise

1 She Bangs the Drums - The Stone Roses

2 Blue Monday - New Order

3 Town Called Malice - The Jam

Also a big fan of The Smiths, The Housemartins, OMD, Tears for Fears, Madness and The Human League.

I remember our coach breaking down in 1978 on the way home from a beating by Bradford Northern,we were all sat on the fence outside the cafe at Boothferry bridge listening to the top 20 countdown when everyone broke into a spontaneous chorus of Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc,really lifted the mood.

Dexys Midnight Runners - Geno, 03/05/1980

Lets Dance - Bowie

Reward - Teardrop Explodes

Going Underground - The Jam

and an honerable mention for local heroes Red Guitars with ' Good Technology'.

The Smiths - What Difference Does It Make?
The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary
The Wedding Present - Kennedy

All remind me of being a student with no money and no worries!

For me the 80's music scene was Trog Bar every Friday evening. Iron Maiden- The Number of the Beast and then appeared the Mighty Guns n Roses in 86. Happy days.

Rovers fans always living in the past!!

Most sensible post you've ever made!

The Kane Gang album is quality too.

For the OMD fans out there, they're supporting Simple Minds on tour this autumn. Playing Sheffield Arena, Newcastle and the MEN oop north.

Good call.

80's music CLASS

On Sunday in order to get through a marathon ironing session (sad I know, but it helped!!) I watched the Top 40 from the 80's on VH1.
What struck me was the diversity, there was New Order along side Musical Youth, George Michael, with and without Andrew Ridgley, Agadoo

at number 28!!!, Culture Club, Jennifer Rush, Soft Cell, a couple of Frankie goes to Hollywood, class!!, just kept off the number 1 spot by Sir Bob and his gang with Feed the World.
Very therapeutic, apart from it being presented by David Van Day
