YFIS...there are a TON of these songs that are still my favorites! (I won't tell if you won't!)  I have lots of the old stuff on my ipod to motivate my lazy arse to work out!  8th I wanted to make honorable mention of Joy Division, although they sadly didn't make it into the 80's, they were definitely pioneers of alternative music. Here's a Cure cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division

8TH 
If you love Joy Division you need to watch the movie CONTROL. The lyrics will mean a little more when you see what inspired Ian Curtis to write certain songs.
The band did survive through or at least into the 80's after his death only the name was New Order, right?25 Aniversary Honor Tribute ------------------

YFIS... How do you know SO much about EVERYTHING! I'm beginning to think you're otherworldly (in the best sense)!  I SO have to get that movie! Yep...New Order came out of Joy Division. I think someone posted some of thier songs. Loved them too...music was much different than Joy Division, I think. I thought Ian died in 1980? Not sure. Thanks for the info...again! 8th IP: Logged |

What about "Condemnation" and "Reach Out and Touch Me," AG?
CondemnationCondemnation
Tried
Here on the stand
With the book in my hand
And truth on my side Accusations
Lies
Hand me my sentence
Ill show no repentance
Ill suffer with pride If for honesty
You want apologies
I dont sympathize
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes Condemnation
Why
Because my duty
Was always to beauty
And that was my crime Feel elation
High
To know I can trust this
Fix of injustice
Time after time If you see purity
As immaturity
Well its no surprise
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes
Sag, of course. quote:
Reach Out and Touch Me
You mean, "Reach out and touch faith" (Personal Jesus)? Hmmm...who has the gall to think they can save you? Has to be a water sign, right?   IP: Logged |

I think Jesus was actually a Pisces, but the song kinda sounds more like a Scorpio. Do you relate to Condemnation yourself? Sadly, I don't get to study Pisces much. Most of what I know of them is from being here at LL. IP: Logged |

A little 80's controversy:Under Pressure/David Bowie & Queen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdaHCLlBkWU Ice Ice Baby/Vanilla Ice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxN_pbMOFk0&feature=related I believe that Vanilla Ice said he didn't copy Bowie's song because he had 1 extra beat in his song! In The Air Tonight/Phil Collins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz7gajAb2ww Rumor was it was to his wife's murderer...believe that turned out to be an urban legend! 8th AG, I just liked those 2 DM songs and noticed you hadn't listed them. I do love the lyrics to Condemnation and also relate to them in the way that I don't believe in an establishment/power telling me to lie or compromise truth. IP: Logged |

The filmmaker, Anton Corbijn, didn't he film a bunch of Depeche Mode videos? Nevermind, I looked it up. Yes, he did. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_Corbijn The movie looks interesting. Will have to check that out. IP: Logged |

Nik Kershaw ~ Wouldn't It Be Good, I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, and The Riddle
(I don't know how well-known he was over here, but for a little while, he was all over the place in England). Kim Wilde ~ Kids in America Tina Turner ~ We Don't Need Another Hero and What's Love Got To Do With It Cyndi Lauper ~ Girls Just Want to Have Fun OMD ~ If You Leave Crowded House ~ Don't Dream It's Over Meatloaf ~ Modern Girl Pete Townshend ~ Let my Love Open The Door UB40 ~ Many Rivers To Cross Erasure ~ Oh L'Amour and Chains of Love Bananarama ~ I Heard a Rumour and Cruel Summer.

(I'm glad somebody else mentioned Madness ~ hardly anyone mentions them when this topic comes up). Howard Jones ~ Everlasting Love and What Is Love Echo & The Bunnymen's Cover of People Are Strange: Genesis ~ Land of Confusion Ultravox ~ Vienna Travelling Wilburys - Handle Me With Care I thought I Don't Like Mondays was from the very early 80's, but it was 1979. The Eurythmics ~ Sweet Dreams Oh, and just one more. Holding Back the Years, by Simply Red. (Hopefully I haven't killed this thread.. I didn't mean to post this many links when I first opened the "reply" window).

You just get on a roll, don't you?Madness is great. I'm surprised no one has mentioned: Spandau Ballet - True I personally couldn't stand the band, but my older sister liked them. Oh, I just thought of another, Hall and Oates. I don't think I've seen them mentioned. IP: Logged |
