I loves me some early '80s music.

I always preferred these guys. The videos are laden with cheese, but I still like the tunes.
"Just Got Lucky"

I completely forgot that I used to cover this tune. Wow, That brings back some sweaty, decadent memories.


For what it's worth - The Stray Cats have reunited and are now touring.

One of Frank Zappa's army sold out. A friend of mine worked a Missing Persons show and he said that Terry and Dale would just about tear each other's heads off. Seems like the band was ready to go bust.


Hungry Like The Wolf


The Reflex


These are all from the era where I was sifting through dumpsters to get food. Decent metal and hard rock was not paying well.

Fantastic videos Spuds... thanks for digging them up for us

As as painful as it was...

The good memories they trigger were, well, very good...Tina, Carol, Celeste, Maureen, Lynn, Debbie and about 60 others whose names I can't remember. Ah, the 80's.

For me this was fun. It is stuff I remember fondly, sometimes like to revisit and enjoy, and it is interesting how the stuff that holds up better has guitar in its heart. I wish they would have let more of the guitar players solo rather than synth or keyboard all the time, but that was wave. I am glad you can still find it on youtube and such. If it is something you don't like, that's OK because you have:
Freedom of choice. :AOK:

Man, the 70s were so much better than the 80's. This was released in 1976.

Hey, I like 70's music too, and rediscovered a lot after picking up guitar. But get your own thread! LOL!


EDIT: Now THAT should be your look for your reunion.
