Title: A song for the times!
Post by: Gorgeous_bird on April 11, 2013, 16:29:37 PM

Taking Colwyns topic regarding Ding Dong the witch is dead it got me thinking about the fantastic music about in Thatchers time. The Specials, Ghost Town being one such masterpiece which sums up the music of the time. Quality tuneage, any others?

Two excellent choices - Ghost Town and One in Ten - from the horrible Thatcher eighties, but here is a less well known song from the period from Sean Brady http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTnEhAZ3UQw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTnEhAZ3UQw)
