Murray Head - One Night in Bangkok

this one has great audio

This post has been edited by yitjuan: Sep 25 2007, 08:58 AM

All my Austratlian favorites
You forgot Rick Ashley, Kylie Minogue, The Fans (lead singer Aishah, Malaysian) and Debbie Gibson.

oops...i got short term memory lo...so i cant remember hundreds of 80s hits lo...hehe

80s is cool.

i think early 90s music still good, rite? such as A-ha-take on me, karyn White-Superwoman, Wilson Philips, Tommy page, Debbie Gibson, Phil Collins(Many classic from him), Babyface, Jason Donovan, Bobby Brown, Prince, Richard Marx, Vanilla ice, (not so like Mc Hammer)

Btw, anyone realized since when pop music becomes "boring"?

I feel Pop was dead after Vanilla ice & Mc Hammer generation was ended.

Bangles - Eternal Flame

has anyone mentioned Kylie Minogue - I should be so lucky, Locomotion, jeus si (whatever french name)

---

Added on September 25, 2007, 1:02 pmpop music was dead the moment the music industry took Playboy girls to become singers.

It's really hard to differentiate music videos with soft porn nowadays.

This post has been edited by soul2soul: Sep 25 2007, 01:02 PM

Rick Price - Heaven Knows

The Bangles - Eternal Flame

Richard Marx - aiz cant remember the song title

Michael Learns to Rock - Sleeping Child

Btw, early 90's, 60's & 70's r enjoyable as well : The Beatles, Bee Gess, ABBA, Savage Garden

If u guys tired of chinese song nowadays, try Alexander 王力宏.

To me, hes a great-talented asset of chinese music industry nowadays. Well, he can play acoustic guitar,

electric bass, drum, piano, organ ... I mean play excellently. He composes, writes lyircs & sings as well. He's

definitely The Dragon of Chinese Music Industry Nowadays, at least to me.

Listen to Forever Love & 一首简单的歌 as a tryout, u definitely wont regret it.

DAVID BOWIE - Let's Dance!

I can said that is the most wacky "pop" songs i listened when i was small.

The most weird pop song was started by David Bowie gua.

Bananarama - Love in the First Degree

I love those girls!

Holly Johnson - Americanos
Tina Turner - what's love got to do with this
Climie Fisher - love changes everything
Paula Abdul - cold hearted
Milli vanilli - Blame it on the rain
Donna Summer - this time i know it's for real
The Cure - Lullaby
Madonna - La is la bonita
soul2soul - back to life / keep on moving
George Michael - Faith
Black Box - right on time ( good disco song)

wow....what a library!

i listen to a variety of music, but i dont listen to radio music. i dunno why, they all sound the same. with a few exceptions, but again, a FEW.

thnx for posting all these, i'll check all of them out.

i'll post some of d songs i like in 90's and 80's (i dont really know which one, sorry)

Pixies-Monkey Gone to Heaven, Gouge Away, Gigantic
Nirvana-Come as You Are
George Michaels-Last Christmas
BRYAN ADAMS- PLEASE FORGIVE ME, Everything I Do, Loved a Woman
Queen-Bohemian Rhapsody
Beatles-When I'm 64, A Day in the Life
Oasis-Live Forever
AC/DC-Thunderstruck, TNT
Radiohead-Creep

Prince - Kiss!!

QFT

and that's not the worst part.
the worst part is that the fans,who have never heard of the original,think it is an original tune

"Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins
"Take My Breath Away" by Berlin
"Livin' on a Prayer" By Bon Jovi
Phil Collins:
"Sussudio"
"One More Night"
"A Groovy Kind of Love"
"Another Day in Paradise"

The 80s is the New Romantic movement. Fantastic music from the keyboard. One of the best genre to come out of that era

right here waiting? anyway i do agree 60's 70's 90's music r great but the impact on the society wont b s great s the 80's. if u got play GTA vice city b4,then u will no how the 80s days r greater than the earlier n later era.

This post has been edited by skylinegtr34rule4life: Sep 25 2007, 11:44 PM

How can I forget bout Depeche Mode & New Order~!! Although they are pretty weird to classify as pop culture.

I like the songs from Vice City too

A song that shows the chronological events of the world is Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire

The Police - Every breathe you take ( Am I correct?)

Anyway, are there such compilation CDs of these songs out there? Very hard to find one..

Torrent it dude.. You will understand the pop wave in every year.

US Billboard 100 is the best last time..

No idea bout current taste now. It's twisted.

actually it sux with all the rap crap full of gangbangerz shitz with all the talentless play boy gals bcum singer

True, I'm sick and tired of them. Most youth nowadays listen to these crap, I'm not one of them. Their music video looks like porn and they sounded and looked like retards looking for fame the now "famous" Sean Kingston, sound like retards, I can't stand his voice, how come he become famous ?

I love listening to old songs like Carpenters and Bee Gees. Even my modern music isn't like youth nowadays, I listen to Dido, Marit Larsen, Michael Buble' and M2M I'm into more vocal and lyrics instead of loud music

80's rocks.
The best era of good music...ever.

hahaha same here vocal n lyrics is the main core of great music

yea.....i got real excited when i hear a familiar tune in GTA Vice City playing on d radio. but then it got twisted n JoJo's voice came out. n it was like..... duh. i never thought of the original song the same way again.....

How could you miss Duran Duran - Ordinary World?

bcoz it is 90s music not 80s music

-crowded house --> forgot the tittle..but something like this " hey now..hey now, dont dream its over.." sixpence non the richer also sing this popular hits..

Search, Wings, Gersang and Alleycats

tarzan boi

Another one..
Duran Duran - Come Undone

BEST 80's songs? go see the movie the wedding singer with adam sandler..... all the best 80's songs are in there....

Rick Astley - Whenever you need somebody




Debbie Gibson - Only in my dreams



This post has been edited by dopodplaya: Sep 27 2007, 01:03 PM

The 80s biggest boy band is New Kids on the Block. Step By Step!!!!
If you can remember, UK has Bros. Doc Martens, torn jeans. So cool!
Stock Aitken Waterman churns out hits for Jason Donovan, Kylie Minogue, Rick Astley, Brother Beyond, Sinitta, Big Fun etc...

Rick Astley, LOL.

People always post his vid on some famous boards that dont allow youtube attachment and some people fall victim to it and click on the link.
YOU GOT RICK ROLL'D!!

BTW, i like Phil Collins a lot especially his song Another Day in Paradise.
The Police's Message in A Bottle intro guitar riff is the coolest ever.

not only 80's MTV nice, also no fake boobs.

This post has been edited by N's: Sep 27 2007, 08:48 PM

agreed...last time gal singers wasnt so like britney-ish n christina-ish...all r natural beauty man unlike 2day all r full of shit

heck yeah the police is kinda kick ass too...they r almost similiar with foreigner IMO...i owiz feel that way when i start listening 2 these bands in my 90s

Yeah I agree with you, I love Toto -Africa. But stupid Jojo ruin the song, God I hate her for just that. Please for God sake don't make a stupid remix of the beautiful oldies song.

The only person who song the old song the right way is Michael Buble. Other than that just a retard who just want popularity

This is so TRUE! haha....Last time mostly white ppl showing sexy. Nowadays all black black sexy ass shaking in front of you.

I love Brother Beyond. I really hope i can get "Trust" album in CD quality sound. All i got is a cassette tape. One of my favo pop album.

I love George Michael still- Careless Whisper still my long-time soothing love song. Even though he is not straight.haha

"Listening without prejudice" is still 1 of my top album.

I got this CD. Bought from eBay. They should be rerelease some of these great forgotten artist album.

wanna ask u all use what speaker to listen to 80's music?

Wah.. sounds like a die-hard fan. I was once saw the Vinyl in the KL audio show. I am Not a typical vinyl people. So, i abandoned the plan to grab it.


My favo dance track is "Drive-On" & the most sweetest love song- "When will i see you again never die" in my heart until today~!. (Much more sentimental than the original one..hee)

heyy! i'm a big fan of 80s music too. Sick on gangsta rapping with girls dancing music videos.
And I played GTA and Vice City, have to agree the music was one of the factors that sucked me into the game. Can't remember much, I'll post more later, bu tone of the song I like is

Foreigner- Waiting For A Girl Like you

GTA vice city song i like is he's so shy and the michael jackson one... that's so rocking man.. i purposely take the kapchai so that the journey would be longer lol.

mc hammer - miami vice theme song also one of my favourites in the game

bille jean haiyah if only there is a bmx bicycle mod with radio in VC how nice

This post has been edited by skylinegtr34rule4life: Oct 1 2007, 12:13 AM

Starship - Sara, We Built This City and my favourite Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now

Someone mentioned Duran Duran, here's my favourite The Reflex, Wild Boys, A View to a Kill (one of the best bond movie song), Planet Earth, Girls on Film, Hungry like a Wolf, etc

Another one of my favourite bond movie song For Your Eyes Only by Sheena Easton

One of the best music video in the 80's was Take on Me by Ah Ha

Wake me up before you Go Go by Wham (I know its a bit gay but I like the song)

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, She-Bop (fun song), The Goonies 'R' Good Enough (from a good but forgotten Spielberg kid movie), True Colors and Time after Time by Cyndi Lauper

Everybody Wants to Rule The World and Shout from Tears for Fear

Wild, Wild West by Escape Club

Rock Me Amadeus by Falco (stupid song but very catchy)

Turn Back the Clock by Johnny Hates Jazz

Through the Barricades and True by Spandau Ballet

La Luna and Circle in the Sand by Belinda Carlisle

Forever Young by Alphaville (one hit wonder)

Addicted To Love by Robert Palmer (who can forget the MTV)

Nothing Compares to You by Sinead O Connor

I Think We're Alone Now by Tiffany

Anything from Lionel Ritchie and Madonna in the 80's were good

Not really 80's but early 90's Roxette Listen to Your Heart, Dangerous, The Look, etc

Aiyoh the list are too long. Anyone remember the show Top of the Pops?

I can never bored with Stock Aitken Waterman production. Most of their produced songs are those happy go lucky type.
I used to listen to Jason Donovan a lot last time. His first 2 album is still the best

nik kershaw - I won't let the sun go down on me.
nik kershaw - Wouldn't it be good
Dire straits - Money for nothing

This post has been edited by N's: Oct 4 2007, 05:32 AM

Cool thread guys!

Been feeling kinda nostalgic for awhile now and just started my blog on retro music in the 80s and 90s last month.

My fav:

US - mostly R&B and Motown like New Edition, Bobby Brown.

UK - everyone and everything to do with New Wave and New Romantics. Depeche Mode and Spandau Ballet are da bombs!

just like heaven - the cure

and who can forget

RICK ROLL

Ts , this is a great thread. Made me relive the golden days when there were no linkin park or heavy metal.
I do have some old song :
ACDC - TNT
Cool and the gang- Get down on it
and many johnny cash songs

not sure if u all know this but
Def Leppard - Hysteria or Animal
both excellent songs

a pretty obscure song by Crowded House (besides Don't Dream It's Over) is their song "Fall At Your Feet"
i prefer this over their more popular wan
singing about unrequited love i think

The Beatles
"Hey Jude" - nice n lively sing-along at the end, always makes me happy lol

Whitesnakes
"Here I Go Again"
"Is This Love"
both wonderful love power ballads that pretty much represents that era XD

oh yea can't go wrong with
Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds

Not a big fan of 80s music, but I love Joshua Tree-era U2 and The Police!

queen - radio ga ga

80's music scene is the best. not just pop, even the metal genre.
i bet those majority listen to those are >30 of age or late 20s.
this thread rocks! to those listening to hip hop and nowadays
crap, you don't know what you're missing.
ts, you brought back our nostalgia, almost make me cry.

I love 80s, as I believed it was the era of experimenting electronica, hence with all the "weird" sounds behind the music. Joy Division (New Order after the lead vocal died of commiting suicide), Happy Monday, and other unknown indie bands especially in British.

For more you can check out a music documentary called "24 Hours Party People".

And to add in the hip hop bashing, "Beautiful Girls" sample from an old song title "Stand By Me", and I hate that fat guy, looks like Fat Albert.

I like oldskool stuff too though im only 16. Haha, classics like raindrops keep falling on my head, total eclipse of the heart, and here comes the sun makes me feel sober.

Is anyone in here planning to go for the HERE & NOW 2008 TOUR (Best Of 80s) concert in Genting Highland on March 21 & 23?

One of my all time favourite artists, Belinda Carlisle, is joining Banarama, Paul Young, Johnny Hates Jazz and Limahl to perform in Genting. Wow, the last time Belinda was here, it was in 1990 for her Runaway Tour! I am really excited about this but the price of the tickets is killing me! It ranges from RM200 to RM780!! OMG...

w00t haiyah its norm 4 import artiste coming here 2 cause the ticket price 2 shoot as high as my each high end PC peripherals and with our low salary cap here dunno what 2 say ardy

Johnny Hates Jazz coming? Damn. One of my fav last time. However, Clark Datchler is not in the band now.

wow, did not realise there's a thread about 80s music.. well done people! i am now hooked on Icehouse's Crazy..

the tickets for the 80s concert is indeed pricey.. i guess they know people who will be going will be mostly 30 years old and above, hence they are assuming we CAN afford it.. oh well, i am tempted..
