The rediscovery of Vinyl

[Steve A]

Ok down on the 80's lets try a few;Elvis Costello,Ultravox,Duran,Spandau,Soft Cell,Madness,Specials,Heaven 17,Human League,Paul Young,Madonna,INXS.Quite a few to pick from there must be something good.
Paul Young next for me,let you know how it sounds soon.

Elvis Costello's the nearest to WD40 that would work on my gate.

What about Guns n Roses,Bruce Springsteen,Def Leppard,The Cars and although not a great decade there were some cracking one hit wonders;Korgis Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime, Gary Numan Cars,Sugar Hill Gang Rapper's Delight,Haircut 100 Love Plus One,Kajagoogoo Too Shy ,Dexy's Midnight Runners Come on Eileen, Blow Monkeys Digging Your Scene ,Midnight Oil Beds are Burning etc I 've got these all on single which must tell me that the albums were crap so maybe not such a great decade.Unfortunately I've run out of decades for Vinyl that I have so will have to go to classics(of mine )next time

Steve A, with a few exceptions your list proves my point.
I used to feel sorry for my kids as they went through the 80s music scene
fortunately it did them no real damage
it was such a relief when they put Duran Duran behind them and turned to Faith no more
I knew then that that they would recover.

One of the joys of having eclectic tastes ,in this instance music, as we  appear to have is that we can get pleasurable discoveries from each other in the areas where we overlap.

My tastes are certainly eclectic I like what I like so they say,currently listening to Mishima soundtrack by Philip Glass(1985)

Not on vinyl but well worth a listen and a view. I know I mentioned it earlier in the thread but this is Moby and his new band The Little Death appearing live on US TV. Wonderful vocals from Laura Dawn and our very own Jamie Rae backing her.

I like this sound:

This guy is interesting and this weekend he's doing a duet with Jamie Rae with their new band 'King Hamelin'. He seems to haves some middle east influence (although he has a French father and Peruvian mum) and with Jamie playing drums for the first time on stage (after taking lessons for quite some time) and stating that it's going to be rather 'hard rock' and a bit loud - it should be an interesting night.

It seems he's a bit of a talent and can pretty much pick up any instrument any play it. Quite a character as well judging by this video he made with Benjy King:
