Early 90's is good too.. I've just been on a binge of listening to old music, I just wana see what else people remember from the 80's or heck just good ol bad (or good) 80's music!

Currently Listening to

Mili Vanilli - Girl You Know It's True

[Keelie]

i was never much for the 80's sound.

as far as music goes, i'm stuck in the 70's. of course i like newer stuff, but 70's you just cant beat, and it always sounds great!

Murray Head! Yes, thanks, that's who sings it!
I love the 50's and 60's music as well. Lots of good ones there, too, just depends on the mood you're in as to what you want to listen to.

I'm trying desperately to think of a really great 80's song; one they always played in the bars, and it has such a good beat, and the lyrics, from what I recall, [main ones] are of a guy with a great voice, singing 'How do I feel...' and he keeps repeating that over and over. Anyone know? {TIA}

Edited to add; whoops,I see I had a typo - spelled One night in Bangcock wrong. Missed the G!

Man, anything Michael Jackson did in the 80s was great.

AC/DC's "Back In Black" album was released in 1980, although it does have a 70s feel to it. That is probably the album I've listened to most in my life.

Ha ha, I'm an idiot; when I looked up 'Murray Head' on the net, many listings, with the word Bangcock came up, so I thought that was how the song was supposed to be. Whoops. My bad!
