The Music Of The 80s - Favorites, Classics And Rarities

[thonetteski]

Back in the days, I used to listen a lot to Siouxsie and the Banshees...and here's two of my personal favorites: 1) Kiss Them For Me and and this one which sounds like it could come from a Quentin Tarantino movie: 2) Something Wicked This Way Comes. Listen to it if you got time :-)

 

Of course I like Cities in Dust the most. There was a time I listened to it everyday and paulit ulit :-) And it's weird, it's about those old Roman cities Pompeii and Herculaneum (which were destroyed by Vesuvius' eruption). Next best is Killing Jar. Pero Kiss Them For Me, and Something Wicked This Way Comes are great mood music :-)

 

And actually, when I listen to Kiss Them For Me, strangely I think of some of U2's music...parang may katunog. Baka nakikinig din si Bono ng Siouxsie and the Banshees? Hahahaha!

 

 

Have you heard "Interlude", its a duet between Morrissey and Siouxie's lead vocal, forgot her name though... hehehehe

Ang mga maganda sa 80s music yung mga remix!

 

I remember my friends and I would compare our collections of remixes of all the New Wave songs. Pahabaan kami!

1 thing I like about Adam Sandler movies is that most of the times, I'll get to hear 80s music. Obviously iyong Wedding Singer marami but there are other movies of him that play music from the 80s. Some of my faves are Billy Idol songs (particularly Rebel Yell), Orange Crush by REM, Matador by Xmal Deutchland, Safety Dance and Pop Goes the World by Men Without Hats and songs by Inxs.

Now, that you mentioned it. Yeah, I think so too. So do most of his viewers probably as most of his movies are hits.

well... i think i have seen most of his movies and you were right... its soundtracks were consist mostly of 80's songs and even 51st date, thought revival,still 80's music.... :thumbsupsmiley:

It's fun to read all your posts guys, talking about and sharing new wave and 80s songs after all these years . Good to know that there are still "trapped in the 80s guys" out there that keep this kind of music alive.

[Hex_Arenas]

Oh but Im not trapped in the 80s. I just like some of the stuff there, some of the music. A lot of it is really good, pero madami ding junk (even dati I think When In Rome's "The Promise" is junk, as well as as all of Gene Loves Jezebel songs <--- are they even a band???). But that's just me thinking, and I swear on my old Phoebe Cates poster I didnt mean any 80s bashing that might be misinterpreted there OK? So peace out with two hands up! :-)

 

PERO....pag magaling yung banda, maganda talaga yung output, and yung influence nila hanggang ngayon malakas. Like U2, The Cure, The Smiths...

 

Most of my memories ng 80s ay boring - can't really go out with my older cousins because I was too young, and yet I was old enough to like and listen to music of my choice, and all i had was the music most of the time, when I would just be in my room and listen sa radio all night, and then again all weekend. Laro scrabble or boggle, or pusoy, millionaires, game and watch, watch betamax, hahaha ambabaw ng trip noon. Wala kasi celphone, walang internet, walang mga bookstores like what we have today. Nakaka-frustrate in a way kasi information was difficult to get back then -- for example yung Synthecide last week ko lang nalaman yung song name and artist (thanks again to you guys).

 

Of course kasi 'formative years' yung mga memories ng times na yun medyo malalim ang impression. Pero I dont think anyone naman is 'trapped' in the 80s, or in any time siguro. I dont long for the 80s even as I miss some of the things associated with it.

 

Hmm..napapaisip tuloy ako kung anong cultural contribution ng 80s sa civilization :-) wala akong masyadong maisip sa ngayon hahaha! Hair gel research?

 

Anyway, as for the music, I grew to appreciate ibang types ng music. Like jazz and swing, punk, hiphop, etc,...Right now (this month) Ive been listening a lot to Pink Martini.

 

As for keeping the music alive, madaming magagaling na bands sa ngayon ang gumagawa ng mga covers ng 80s songs na magaling ang areglo, if you got time check out mga songs ng Nouvelle Vague. :-) and of course yung mga movies ni Adam Sandler, he uses alot of 80s music sa soundtrack ng movies nya. Ang galing nung lumabas si Billy Idol sa Wedding Singer no? :-)

 

Anyway, a little trivia lang po...did you know that yung song na Love Buzz which Kurt Cobain of Nirvana covered, was written by Robbie Van Leeuwen -- the same guy who wrote Venus ("Goddess of the mountaintop....) na pinasikat ng Bananarama noong 80s? :-)

Wow! My brow thanks very much for Smiles and Jokes!!! Woot woot!

 

Nga pala, I'm sharing this one: the eternal Morrissey singing my most favorite song of all time -- Moonriver! He diverges from the lyrics and sings: "Two drifters off to see the world...Im not so sure the world deserves us!" Hohoho! What a pompous romantic! :-)

 

Check it out ;-)

Ooops, a little trivia na naman:

 

Daniel Craig, aka Agent 007 our friend in MI6, is a BIG FAN of Morrissey -- he once referred to himself as "the macho Morrissey"

 

:-)

Somebody uploaded Depeche Mode's Route 66 on the 90s site. The song came out in 1988. Moving it to the appropriate site.

A few new adds today.... I might add a few more.

moon river is an old song, i think it was frank sinatra's original... and you know why he sang or covered that?.... because that was one of his favorite songs.... he consider himself as a drifter....
