Your favourite albums by decade: the 80s
Onto the plastic 80s, the era of new romantics, Phil Collins, big hair metal bands and shiny pop music.
Remember no Mac! And don't sneakily put Go Insane or Bella Donna in there either. I'm keeping to a top 10 - it's the ranking that's key people! Here's my favourite albums of the 80s: 1. Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction 2. Dinosaur Jr - You're Living All Over Me 3. Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation 4. The Pixies - Surfer Rosa/Doolittle 5. Prince - Sign O' The Times/Parade 6. Faith No More - The Real Thing 7. Mary Margaret O'Hara - Miss America 8. The Replacements - Pleased To Meet Me 9. Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love 10. Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska/The Smiths - Hatful Of Hollow I've left out some awesome albums, but I make no apologies for putting Guns at number one. I totally loved that album back in the day. |
10,000 Maniacs "In My Tribe" - perfection
Go Go's "Beauty and the Beat" and "Vacation" The Police "Ghost in the Machine" and "Synchronicity" Prince - all of his stuff. Sugar Hill Gang "Rapper Delight" The Tom Tom Club I also loved The Human League, Thomas Dolby, ABC, Whitney Houston (such a tragic waste) and many others. I never really got into The Clash, but owned Combat Rock. |
Paul Simon - Graceland

He's the Genius of love - he's sooooo sweet ... James Brown - James Brown :laugh: They had cool harmonies. Also, at one point in my life and maybe even now - I could sing all the words to Wordy Rappinghood - which simultaneously is glorious and sooo bad :laugh: |

Oh why not - if I screw them up it is because it is a little ahrd to understand what they are saying :laugh: What are words worth? What are words worth? - words Words in papers, words in books Words on tv, words for crooks Words of comfort, words of peace Words to make the fighting cease Words to tell you what to do Words are working hard for you Eat your words but don’t go hungry Words have always nearly hung me What are words worth? What are words worth? - words Words of nuance, words of skill And words of romance are a thrill Words are stupid, words are fun Words can put you on the run Mots pressix, mots sensix, Mots qui disent la vâýit? mots maudits, mots mentis, Mots qui manquent le fruit d’esprit What are words worth? What are words worth? - words Its a rap race, with a fast pace Concrete words, abstract words Crazy words and lying words Hazy words and dying words Words of faith and tell me straight Rare words and swear words Good words and bad words What are words worth? What are words worth? - words Words can make you pay and pay Four-letter words I cannot say Panty, toilet, dirty devil Words are trouble, words are subtle Words of anger, words of hate Words over here, words out there In the air and everywhere Words of wisdom, words of strife Words that write the book I like Words won’t find no right solution To the planet earth’s pollution Say the right word, make a million Words are like a certain person Who can’t say what they mean Don’t mean what they say With a rap rap here and a rap rap there Here a rap, there a rap Everywhere a rap rap Rap it up for the common good Let us enlist the neighbourhood It’s okay, I’ve overstood This is a wordy rappinghood, okay, bye. What are words worth? What are words worth? - words What are words worth? What are words worth? - words He’ll stop ... don’t stop ... stop. ____________________________ and let's not forget ra ha ha ra ha ha doey doey doey ra ha ha :laugh: |
Ryan and Dissention both say Autoamerican by Blondie is good? This is interesting to me. I have never heard it, (aside from the two singles) but the allmusic.com review says it is "memorable only for its hits", and Rolling Stone called it "a terrible album" and gave it one star. I was never planning on getting it, but you say otherwise, so things could change.
