Also 70s, 60s..
Well Hubski, it's time to let your hair down and tighten those jeans, cause this night is reserved by Plant, Page and John Paul Jones.
Comment your favorite classic rock songs here and post them throughout the night to add a little badass to Hubski's soup of shares.
Creds to thenewgreen for getting me in the mood after that Rolling Stones post.
Edit: I highly underestimated music in the 80's and I've never heard of half these bands. keep em coming!
The Feelies - Crazy Rhythms: Orange Juice - Rip It Up
I will never be ashamed of my unabashed love of Duran Duran. Here is an amazing cover of The Chauffeur by Deftones.
I'll stick to your title: 80's Early 80's: Mid 80's: Late 80's:
I was freaking obsessed with The Wall in high school. Angsty little Camarillo. Early R.E.M. is amazing too.
Forgot about REM! Any recs?? (besides losing my religion)
Eponymous is a good start. It's sort of a best of, for their work prior to 1988. Listen to the whole thing and then explore the albums of the songs you like from it:
Sweet, thanks! camarillobrillo named Reckoning so I'll check that out too. i'm gonna be the coolest kid at school tomorrow.
I tell everybody who laughs at Rush to see them live. They don't laugh anymore.
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1k8w3_tears-for-fears-head-over-heels_music Once a parody of the 80's. I have recently found that these songs actually stand up very well and personify the era. A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran: As for the stones..... I wish I could have seen this..
The Rolling Stones - Jumping Jack Flash (Live) - …:
Like tasty baselines? Check this out. Rocket from the Crypt did an bombastic cover of that song if you can track it down. It's on YouTube but it sounds like it was recorded through a CB radio so I won't link it, but it's well worth your time to track down a good copy of it. It'll make you shake. Early 90's but this song fucking rocks and few people have heard it!
Love this list. I need to get into violent femmes too.
You want 80s? The Darkness were so 80's they didn't exist until the 2000's!
Okay, fine, have some real 80's Okay, now let me get all Canadian on you This is Triumph - They're like Rush, except they have different members. Co-written by Pye Dubois - better known for co-writing the lyrics to Rush's Tom Sawyer
I was trying to get the P's in, but thanks anyway this is sick
Bonzo, The Beast! There's a great story about him fishing off a hotel balcony. I've got to find that book.
OMFG fuck my previous post. this is the perfect time to whip out my guilty pleasure: Huey Lewis and the News
Not even joking, my roomate would listen to Huey Lewis "ironically" (I dont know why it was ironic) and I ended up being a huge fan. Same thing happened with Hall and Oates: The other night I did a whole stupid bit with my buddy at the bar where we'd stop our conversation to do the chorus of this:
A lot of people claim both Hall and Oates and Huey Lewis and the News as their "guilty pleasures" but I don't think there is any guilt needed. They're both great.
i claim it as a "guilty pleasure" because it's SO. DAMN. HAPPY. for some reason it feels like it's not allowed.
So, as a very young child we had those mail-order subscriptions where you could buy tapes of music through the mail. CDs hadn't quite made it out yet. Anyway, I got to select one cassette tape and Huey Lewis and the News, 'Sport' was it. First album I ever got of my own volition. I think my favorite song on that album was Walking on a Thin Line or I Want a New Drug. I was going to post a link to Walking, but here is a link to some random band on YouTube covering it instead because why not:
