80's Rock

@ncscswitch:
One of the FEW redeeming modern songs… notice that it has a classic 70’s guitarist as an anchor though…
Regardless of the decade… Santana ROCKS!
-
Def Leppard from High N Dry…
-
Game appropriate Vid…
-
Now if you want 80’s Pop Trash…
This one should have enough of a hook to drive you nuts…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2hawbp5XT4
The worst part is that I saw the movie this is from (Two of Kind) in the theater… :|
-
I have posted this one in previous threads, but it bears repeating…
Lita Ford and Ozzy…

This IS the 80’s…

And let us not forget one of the prettiest pair of breasts in 80’s Rock…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiuimDNlyuQJust search her on Google Images and you will see what I mean…
-
ahh shes skanky… looks like Blair from facts of life TV show.
Now this is much more refined. You wont find them in the trailer park.

I hope you aren’t saying those peeps were at the creation. Very good either way. The GZA is just a musical genius, yet many people won’t even recognize it because they will never give him a chance. RIP ODB/Dirt McGirt/Big Baby Jesus. :lol:
Have to agree with balung on Tribe, probably the best hip hop group I’ve ever heard. Also, the Pharcyde, De La Soul, Digable Planets, etc.
No, i was just listing some generally good hip-hop.
There has not been good rap since Grand Master Flash and The Furious 5.
This just confirms that you havent listened to much rap, haha.
And while we’re including punk…
POISON IDEA: http://www.myspace.com/pickyourking (in the late 80’s they slowed down but still made great songs)
NEGATIVE FX: http://www.myspace.com/negativefx (from Boston, predecessor to grind/powerviolence bands of today)SS DECONTROL: http://www.myspace.com/societysystemdecontrol (Boston has made some truly great hardcore, unfortunately this band dropped all of their punk roots and made bad hair metal after a few years)
FUGAZI: http://www.myspace.com/fugazidischord (technically ‘post-hardcore’ and probably closer to indie, but I dont know if you guys are going to knitpick over punk subgenres, and just on the edge of the 90’s)
And what about the founders of actual emo (not bad pop-punk that is mislabeled as such)?
RITES OF SPRING: http://www.myspace.com/ritesofspringmusic (For Want Of is one of the most powerful songs I’ve ever heard)
EMBRACE: http://www.myspace.com/embracetribute (Might i suggest “Dance of Days”?)MOSS ICON: http://www.myspace.com/mossiconemo (“I’m Back Sleeping or F***ing of Something” is only allowed to be played at maximum volume on one’s speakers, song has some intense vocals later on, this band is probably my favorite of all of these emo forefathers)

@Imperious:
you forgot Blue oyster cult, and Emerson, Lake, and palmer
Ah Blue Oyster Cult - love that Godzilla song. I used to crank that so loud the widows vibrated… Go Go Godzilla!
-
You also forgot Styx, REO Speedwagon, Guns N’ Roses, Don Henley, John Fogerty, Genesis, and it’s offshoots Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel (arguably the most talented singer/songwriter in the 80’s).
I agree with your list with a few notable exceptions, fish.
AC/DC, Floyd, and Rush did their best work in the 70’s, by far.
And Ozzy sucked after he left Sabbath. It irritates me to no end that such a genius could so completely roll over and pump out cookie cutter garbage after being in one of the most defining rock bands of all time. The drug binges definitely took their toll.
Here’s a love song for you. Ties in with another thread currently being discussed. UP THE IRONS!
To be honest most of that was from memory, so The AC/DC Floyd and Rush as well as Sabath were probably old stuff that I was just listening to in the 80s. For that matter I listened to a lot of the same songs in the 90s. For example I don’t think I listend to very much at all that Motley Crue did after 90.
Also, Guns and Roses had some good songs but I could never stand Axl Rose :roll: Also I never got into Phil Collins, but Peter Gabriel made M-TV watchable :-D

@Der:
Nice List DF,
I’ll add a few more nice list.Here’s a few more: Slayer, Guns n roses, The Smiths, The Pixies, The Clash, Kiss, Dead kennedy’s, The Ramones, Red Hot Chili’s…
Red Hot Chilli’s, lmao, that brings back some memories, more 90s for me though.

@ncscswitch:
Speaking for myself…
Rap would be the biggest detriment to modern music. Modern R&B has NOTHING to do with classic R&B.
And Pop has again been dragged into oblivion, perhaps even more severely than it was during Disco.
There are a few groups out there doing some half decent stuff (Hoobastank mentioned above, I also like a couple of White Stripes tunes…) but by-and-large the only folks BUYING music today are buying trash; and the labels are controlled by either Disney “artists” or gang-bangers.
Music is on a cusp again, like it was circa 1981. The current era has done all that it can, and each “new” song is only a rehash of what went before. EVERYONE is waiting for the next Van Halen so that music can “run with the devil” again for a while and grow into something other than the current TRASH.
And you know… it is really SAD that the most trite Hair Bands of the late 80’s had more originality and more SKILL than anything currently aired on Top 40 stations today. It is enough to make me ALMOST long for a return to Bow Wow Wow…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNHcaIJETZoAt LEAST they had a good hook…
I tell you what, I could go for a piece of candy about now :-D 80s chicks were so friggen hot…
-
and they had real boobs in all the movies.
but is orion by metalica the best song of the 80’s? and probably ever?
-
-
Never heard of it.
-
man oh man. no lyrics, just powerful.
-
Overall, the best MUSIC of the last 30 years has got to be the Alan Parsons Project. The sheer diversity and the overall QUALITY of their work over nearly a score of albums is incredible.
Add in the Alan Parsons was also a producer on Dark Side of the Moon and it would be really difficult to find a more powerful name in the music business (at least in terms of MUSIC) during the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s… even if you include the mega-pop-stars of the same time span like Madonna and Jackson.
-
A little Ozzy…
-
I think this might be very early 1990’s…
But with it being Tammy Wynette, it is worth mentioning… as a low point.
