The 80's , The Greatest Decade Ever !!!

[Tano]

We're pretty close on age, iirc. I also get up on the 90's. They're just terrible.

I completely agree.

Back street boys? Nsync? - Really Memento - remind me never to get in a car with you when you are playing your type of music. (Where in heck is the snicker emoji)

 

[Tano]

I’ll allow it.

I won't - I hate that crappy song - it's so fricken annoying

My wife hates it too. And we rarely agree on songs. She likes the Fray. Their singing reminds me of fingernails on the chalkboard.

I always have to get out an old Queen song to get their singing out of my head.

But she also hates Bob Dillon so there is that. His singing sounds like he is constipated.

Early 80's was strong for music.

Concerts in the 80's? Well lets see...
The Police with Thompson Twins
Rush about six times
Pink Floyd twice
Twisted Sister
Iron Maiden twice
Motley Crue twice
Dio
Scorpions with Aerosmith
Cheap Trick
Ozzy
Van Halen
Depeche Mode twice
Red Hot Chili Peppers with Tesla
Metallica with Faith No More
Bon Jovi
Robert Plant
Bryan Adams
Billy Squire
Alice Cooper
U2 three times
Soundgarden in '89
Skid Row
Pat Methany
Tommy Shaw
And a few more i'm sure. I kind of stopped going to shows in the late 90's. Got married, had kids etc, but from '83 to probably '95 i went to a fuckload of concerts.

Whoa! That’s no small list.

You toured like a Dead Head that never saw the Greatful Dead in that span?

I still have most of those tix stubs. The cost of most of these shows at that time was $12-$20 IIRC. The cost of shows post Napster/iTunes etc obviously changed things dramatically. Shows are outrageous these days.

I went to get (2) tix for the Police reunion tour in '07 and nearly fainted. It was something like $300. Just a few years ago i took a date to see REO Speedwagon because she was a big fan. REO, a band i liked in the early 80's when they were huge. REO...now an old, casino dwelling decades old rock band filling small venues. $80/tix. GTFO. Of course i submitted because...it was important to my date.

I get why these shows are pricey. I'm ramblin but it's another case of technology and the download culture all but eliminating what was once an affordable concert going culture for young people and adults.

I could never get into the Dead's sound. It would have been fun to follow them though. You know, literally follow them. Funny how that term has an all new effortless, rather hollow meaning in modern culture.

YES. That was such a great movie.
It's a tie between that one .... and this one.

John Carpenter baby. I can't even imagine the 80's without JC's films. Anti hero counter culture gold, not to mention his horror/sci fi classics.

No joke, what's not to like?!?! You just need to reject 90's music in favor of 80's music perfection!

Who says I'm playing Nsync and Backstreet Boys? I could just be playing metal or rap.

Our local skating rink closed like 20 years ago , the building is still there , but now it's subdivided into a gun and ammo store and a rent -a-center

haven't been skating in years , tried some inline skating when my daughter was young
