My god this thread is bringin back some memories...


And making me feel old...

lol...

I'm spending a TON of time on this thread

Speaking of Alanis, I can't find her video for "Fate (stay with me)" anywhere. She was about 14 at the time and I met her at the CNE during her soundcheck, I had NO idea she'd become so huge.

AJ, you showed me a picture of you at a gig in the 80s once, dust that one off and let's see it again

Ok don't think any of these have been posted.

A overlooked REM song which when it came out I loved.

One of my favorite songs of all time. Still listen to it today.

Kinks - Come Dancing


And I really can't believe no one has mentioned these two bands and singer...if someone has I missed it.

Queen








RUSH






Finaly probably the most influential musician there will ever be in my lifetime. Some of his best work was prior to the 80's but the 80's were still pretty good for him. He is still making music I listen to.

DAVID BOWIE

What about Yaz/Yazoo??



Don't Go


In My Room


Nobody's Diary


Only You

I think this was omitted? Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen

Alison Moyet and Vince Clarke (the other half of Erasure, and one of Depeche Mode's founding fathers) have reunited as Yazoo, and are just about to release their new album "In Your Room", and will be goin on tour again.

Here's their recent interview a couple of weeks ago;


Seeing Vince at Massey Hall last year felt like witnessing a legend at work.
