[kj] So 80s

[sade1]

   Someone turned me on to Ultravox's "Hiroshima Mon Amour" a short while back 
and that whole pre-Ure era sounds very promising, worth digging into.
   Going off on a tangent, there's this remake of a 60s tune, "In the year 2525." 
Good lyrics, i think.
 
... ... ... ... ... ... 
(looking at the current state of things)

'Save me..                                                
 save me from Tomorrow..                          
 I don't want to sail in this Ship Of Fools...!'

Get yourself all the John Foxx & Ultravox! stuff - well worth it. Some decent Midge manUre-era Ultravox
too, but that might be me being nostalgic...

I'm right there with you, Janean. I turned 4 in 1980 so all the music I was into was the stuff on the radio. Tears for Fears, New Order and Depeche Mode all still sound awesome today. Songs from the Big Chair is my favourite album of all time, as a matter of fact. I also recently discovered the album Metamatic by John Foxx. Probably not a mainstream success but it's dripping with that 80s synth-pop sound. Really awesome. 
As far as the worst era for mainstream music goes, well, we are currently suffering through it and have been for the past 5 or 6 years now.

I’ll stick my neck right out here and confess to loving loads of 80s pop.  9 of my top 10 favourite songs are 80s songs (I discovered that when my dad in NZ asked me to write him a list).  But I’m hardly stuck in the past, though.
 
The majority of 80s pop is awful – most pop from any decade is shite (look at the 70s!).  But I love loads of it - Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, Human League (pre-84).  I saw Yazoo live on Saturday night and was just expecting some nostalgic tinkly synthpop.  But I was floored by it.  Best sounding gig I’ve been to.  It was seriously funky disco – and there’s nowt wrong with that.
 
Should I get my coat?

Yes, some of the dance stuff was very, very cool (especially the Orb)!
