Re: What Are Your 80s Favorites?

my drummer hates me for it, but ive gotta say that zz top represents all that the late 80s was. hard rock became too van haleny so shredding really was a bit generic. Ozzy began the metal era and made some of my more favorite pieces. AC/DC still has a kick to it. In all, id have to say that rush (moving pictures), queen (a night at the opera), Ozzy (blizzard of ozz) and whatever i am listening to at a given moment.

A Night At The Opera was released in 1975.

The 80s seems to be the least appreciated decade in at least two of the other places I visit so I thought I'd try and champion its cause and get some discussion going.

So, what are your favorites from the 80s?

The 1980s is the King of all decades! I know the kind of places you're talking about...full of hippies and complaint rock types...all earnest and 'intellectual' about their music. If I want intellectual, I'll read a book. They all need to get over themselves. Give me the big, brash, over-produced 80s vibe any day of the week!

Like I said -I love the 80s. Too bad I never appreciated 80s music until the 90s!

AC/DC, Dokken, The Cult plus many synth bands!

It's too bad that Dokken never got the recognition they deserved IMO. George Lynch was/is a guitar monster!

Just Got Lucky is one of my favorite tunes of all time!

I can't remember that one - will track it down.

Yes - Lynch was great...and didn't he have ultimate hair too?

The New Best of the 80's for me was : Simple Minds...Great; Passionate Band!
Tears For Fears....Absolutely Intense...especially Shout
and finally ; Motley Crue...Dr. Feelgood album
How's that for a mix?
