Let's relive the 1980's

Let's relive the 1980's

Hiya everyone!!!!

I loved the 80's and I thought I would start a forum where we can relive our favourite songs. bands, TV shows, movies, fashions, celebrities, world events etc. If I had a time machine I would go back and experience it all, because as they say at the time you don't realise how special it is until it is over.

So if you grew up in the 80's tell us your experiences, what you loved and remembered etc. If you missed the 80's that is fine. we can tell you what it was like, how things were done etc. So please come and join me and reflect on this great decade......

I am going to start off by showing you one of my fav songs from one of my two fav bands (The Beatles being the other one). Still love this song as much as when I first heard it..... written by drummer Roger Taylor inspired by words from his young son.....Radio Ga Ga

Which indecently inspired the name of a current pop star...................

Wow, what a great time in New York @Sweet_cheeks . You certainly experienced heaps. I love the story about the panpiping guys from Peru, that is a classic. That concert of The Clash would have been wild, very jealous here lol. Interesting though that you think Chicago is better than New York. Never had any desire to go there but now maybe I might have to consider going there if the money ever allows.

I have not heard of Ty Segall, but I will certainly check him out when I get the chance. Thanks for mentioning him. And yes he can be mentioned in this thread, we have spoken about the 70's here so anything goes lol.

@MDT @Shaz51 @TAB @Sweet_cheeks

@Scarecrowe I was lucky my girlfriends had good taste in music. Different ones were always trying to show me something or other. Expand my experience beyond church and classical. That was a work gf.

Spics and specs ... relates to both a Beach Boys song and an Aust tv show.

Larrikin music sued.

Greg Ham died. Cause uncertain ... but...

I loved "Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree" and feel the rthymic similarity overstated. The riff was later changed by Colin Hay.

I am interested in all aspects of music ... or ethnomusiclogy ...
