the 80's tracks that influenced your musical taste
So, I was thinking the other day. What really got me into electronic music (this happened to be trance back in late 90's)
I was a kid and would hear the following tracks in my Uncle's car when he was crusing through the twisting streets of South Shields, England (North East).
Many of the songs I have listed have synths, catchy beats and decent vocals. My theory is the melodic bits of these 80's songs probably got me into melodic trance.
Can you guys think of any that may have influenced your taste in music, 80's....dont want any 90's...
we can dance if we want to
we can leave your friends behind
because your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance
well they're no friends of mine

Ah, Enjoy the Silence is just barely 90's; release date was January 16th, 1990.
Not that I'll hold this against you, as I can't help but think of it as an 80's favorite, in addition to probably being the first track I ever really fell in love with.
I grew up on a steady diet Depeche Mode and Glam Metal.

Awesome track!!
A few of mine..........
Simple Minds - Waterfront
Def Leppard - Animal
Genesis - Home By The Sea
I remember listening to these tunes as a kid and not really being aware how great they are. I guess they were forever embedded in my subconscious and have to this day shaped my taste in music

The Police - Invisible Sun
The Police - Spirits In The Material World
Um... I can't think of much else. The 80s weren't all that influential in my musical upbringing since much of the rock my father would play was from the 70s. And I didn't strike my tastes out on my own until the 90s.

Well the guy has a narrow taste and likes to brag about that. That's not really surprising phenomenon, you can see it in every other thread on TA.
