I am an 80's chick! Don't get me started down memory lane for the 80's... I'll keep you here all night!
Guns n roses "Sweet child of mine"
Prince "Little red corvette"
Europe "The final countdown"
Denise Williams.. "Let's hear it for the boys"
Tiffany "I think we're alone now"
Footloose, Fame, ABC, Thompson Twins, A-ha, Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, Human League, Yaz, Culture Club... I loved them all!!!
Shall I stop now? :shock:

I hated the 80s music with a vengeance though a couple of bands caught my attention such as Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears and REM.
I found a lot of their music very depressing
Otherwise I loved the 80's!
Frankie goes to Hollywood, Duran Duran, Madonna, Prince, the Pretenders, Spandau Ballet, Def Leppard, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Crowded House, U2, INXS, Guns n Roses, Bon Jovi, Simple Minds.....
loved it all!! :bounce:

I love 80's music, but probably not the sort of music most people remember. I have always been a bit... odd...
As for modern cover versions... and I want to see if anyone can name the original artists on most of these - and see if you can't guess my favourite artist ever and start to critisise my taste based on this list...
Nine Inch Nails - Dead Souls, Metal, Memorabilia,(You're So) Physical
Marliyn Manson - Tainted Love, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), Down In The Park
Foo Fighters - Down In The Park
Girls Under Glass - Down In The Park (Ok, ok - it's just a favourtie song, ok???)
Damon Albarn - We Have A Technical
Hactually, apart from those, covers of 80's songs don't really work very often. Nothing can touch the orginal versions of, say, Human League songs without sounding really stupid because the actual songs were daft - they just sounded good delivered by Phil Oakey and a bunch of synths. They can't be redone.
I am rambling. This is normal.

bloody e'l, softcell forgot all about them too, who was the other guy with the skinhead, sang johnny, tell me why and I forget the rest of his songs. I know a few of his songs have been covered lately too. Ultranate wasnt 90.s it was mid to late 80.s
Ultranate... 1991 - present date
Free was out 1991, I know I was pregnant and spewing to the tune one night!..

Blimey - what a load of good memories...I used to DJ at a Blitz/New Romantic club in the 80s so I've got loads of stuff from then.
Talk Talk; Sisters of Mercy; Bollock Brothers (I kid you not); Flock of Seagulls; Fashion; Gina X Performance; The Fall; New Order; A Certain Ratio; OMD; Classix Nouveux; Visage; Japan; Ultravox (pre-Midge Ure); ABC; Simple Minds; The Tubes; Devo (particularly "Whip It")...
Might have to dig some stuff out later on, blow the dust off and get em spinning.
Incidentally, Nouvelle Vague have a new CD out with some more covers. Search for "Bande A Part"
shameless plug too - I'll be running another Pop Quiz in the chatroom soon (original post here: http://www.swingingheaven.co.uk/swingers-forum/viewtopic/117311.html). Lots of 80s questions.....

Aaah the new romantic era, Adam and the Ants was the look wasn't it? correct me if I'm wrong, was it the long frilly sleeves and general attire that gave the new romantic it's name.
Can anyone remember "the Hitman and Her" usually on a Friday night back late 80's early 90's??

Think your talking about more than one person there? wasn't Johnny sung by Fine Young Cannibals? and tell me why was Jimmy Somerville aka Bronski Beat/Communards?
