Last one for the 80's, cuz' I'm out of material unless I cover blues. How bout' we do a 70's or a 90's edition?, both of which were much stronger decades.

I'm getting to the end too, perhaps. But so much for those who say they eighties were crap. Sure, there was a lot of crap - some even might have been posted here. I even got +rep for something I thought was barely above the crap! :)

For me personally, I entered college in 1979. I joined the tiny, very amateur radio station. I still listened to the same AOR I listened to in high school - the big stations and the big DJ names from New York City - but I also discovered WNYU radio and the huge variety they covered from New Wave to Reggae to Blues.

Sure, the final few years of high school - the "seventies" - has music that brings back memories. To be honest, I discovered or truly began to appreciate some seventies and sixties music in the eighties. So there is a lot of music that brings me back to that era.

I remember working on Jazz shows, the resurgence of Blues thanks to Saturday Night Live (which I watched live) - or more specifically, John Belushi, Dan Akroyd, and the Blues Brothers. I put together an hour long show with the help of a more knowledgeable rocker friend that began with Chris Spedding's Guitar Jamboree and then showed off each of the guitarists that Chris highlighted in his song.

The early to mid eighties was when I saw the bulk of live performances and there's a lot - from Sam and Dave to Dry Jack - that I probably won't post here. Time frame or not, there's a lot of eighties music that brings me back that is somehow off-topic. I think I've pushed the envelope already. :)

I'm not complaining or saying to start or not start another era-themed thread. A lot of this music does bring me back. A lot more will. So thanks for sharing everyone! I am not sure if I'm out for the eighties - and I'm sure I could contribute to other threads. But the Music section is for discussing "your music". All I've done is share music by other people. Since I still suck at the piano, what I write about the music of other people is the closest I can get to sharing "my music".

The 70s were incredible but in the second half of that decade they had that damn genre they called disco. It was before its time, yet it got too popular, too fast. Don't get me wrong, some of it actually was pretty good, but thankfully it died a quick death. It reemerged in the late '80s after splitting into R&B, rap, techno, other forms. But since it died so fast, at the beginning of the '80s a lot of artists were looking for a new direction. The result was a bunch of crazy, off the wall diversity. I can still recall one day in the mid 80s (I was in high school at the time) when I thought about the tons of crap you would have to listen to on the radio just to get to the songs you like and became truly scared about the direction music was taking. When I look back on it now, I realize that I like, or even love a lot of the stuff that I couldn't stand when it was fresh and new. There was also a lot of truly great stuff, more than I realized at the time, much of which we have shared with each other here in this thread. That's my take on it, anyway. I can go for a while yet, tho most of it is less popular songs from artists that we have already heard.

I just checked my mailbox and my most recent order of beans was there waiting for me, so I'm gonna post this one from 1980.....

this one was produced in reply to one of the band members overhearing an appliance store employee talking smack about a musician that happened to be on a MTV video that was playing on one of the display TV's in the store at the time. "Look at that little faggot" was one of the remarks overheard.
