after seeing an old classic posted in another thread,i thought it would be cool to hear from you,about what bands,and their songs,were/are your favourites from the 80's.

also,i've being at a loss for what new music to listen to lately,and because the 80's was such a diverse decade,i thought that there would be some great memory joggers posted.

:corn: :apint:

New Order baby!

I feel so extraordinary
something's got a hold of me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A certain sense of liberty.

New Order also holds a special place for the way the bass often carries the melody.

Yeah they were good.

I saw them at Wembley Arena just after She Sells Sanctuary came out. It was the craziest gig I had ever been to. There was this guy there with a fecking huge green mohican haircut who decides to go crowd surfing. Next thing you know, this guy disappears into the crowd and the next time I see him he is stark bollock naked except for his 20 hole DM's. They must have stripped the poor guy.

Imagine trying to get on the bus home after that.....
