Saw a prog on tv last nigh about some bloke who used to be in a band called Visage in the 80's. I heard a few secs of one of their tracks and then did a search on kazaa. Dloaded a track called "fade to grey". Sounded quite cool i thought, may lead to me re discovering some 80s music, is this sad?

I have to say it beats the crap out of cardboard unimaginative acts like gareth gates and all that other manufactured crap they seem to have in charts nowadays.

I've been listening to loads of old skool just now and at this moment I'm listening to X-pansions - Elevation (the original one)!

Not sad at all

Claim to Fame.

I sill have the 12" vinyl version of Visage "Fade to Grey".

Along with many others. Top decade. Top music.

The 80's was an excellent decade for music.

"some bloke who used to be in a band called Visage"!!! my god. the youth of today. Steve Strange was one of the pioneers of the New Romantics, which led to Soft Cell, Depeche Mode, Spandau Ballet (before they went all namby pamby with "True" and "Gold", etc), Ultravox, OMD. (Also Duran Duran but you cant blame him for that!)
I now feel really old. Thanks very much!!!

Having played GTA Vice City last night for the first time I can categorically state that 80s tunes rule! Been cruising around on my bike listening to them! Then I get bored and stab some people with a screwdriver

Its not sad re-living good memories, more people should do it instead of being miserable ***** all the time!

Amanda-Jane

muppet paster

Take off your rose tints will ya, with all that electronic crap, the 80's will become know as the decade that the music died!

I'd rather listen to 80's pop, pixie boots bandana's and all the ****e clothing,hairstyles rather than listen to the manufactured pop music of the past 10 years, but the kids of today will say the same thing in 2020, when they'll remember Gareth, Boyzone, Blue, Westlife and the rest with fondness, poor *******

Visage made some cracking tunes for the time, its a shame about Steve Strange, the geezer is a wreck nowadays back in the mid to late 80's Camden Palace was an excellant place to be on a Friday or Saturday, my how things have changed.

Don't forget the huge effect that Appetite for Destruction had when it came out - 89 wasn't it? Bought it again recently on CD - it still Rocks!

muppet paster

Got Appetite on vinyl complete with the sleeve they had to change!


I was generalising, there was some worth while music that managed to rear it head in the 80's, but most of it was just pure dross!

Ralf

OMG - is this really 20 (twenty) years ago?

I'm getting 35 next week, didn't realize this

turbo2000

80s music rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

uncle buck

Funkii Munkii
