Anyone Like 80's British New Wave Music ?

Relaxing and having a trip down memory lane, thought i would post and share a few 1980's British new wave tracks i enjoy.

Music is for ever changing indeed.

Not in any particular order of preference.

OK........................... I'll start..

The 80" were some of the best music ever... remarkable since I graduated in 69...... I guess we were 'Fortunate Sons' 'wink'

Yeah... Oddly enough I'm a metal head but I grew up on this stuff.




Best of both worlds???

I have to have my 80' Night at least once a week - the best times and best music.

Of course The Clash and later one of my all time Favs - B.A.D!

Mighty nice thread for a chilly Friday. S&F.

Especially like early Gary Numan in "Tubeway Army" days.

"Anyone Like 80's British New Wave Music?"

Uh... kind of. I still listen to Flock all these years later. I heard the entire Tainted Love-Where Did Our Love Go? at the coffee shop the other day. Far superior version IMO. And I love this funky hit...

Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science

I actually just had this in my head.

Nope


Enjoy! Sour grapes

Stop making sense.......

A great thread ...

Hell yeah. Tears for Fears is an underrated group lyrically and musically imo, because they get lumped in with synth-heavy vapid pop of the era (which is also unfair imo, since a lot of "pop" artists are quite brilliant too, they just cater to a mass market.)

Peace.

Hell Yes!

But that's not 80s retro. That's 80s AMERICAN Punk.

Wrong thread brotha.


btw, I always found the live version tape of this song to be way better. Dunno why. Wait... It's punk, that's why!


Livage! Best version of their songs ever!!

Talking Heads are from NYC and CBGBs.



I play this on acoustic guitar and it is fun as h3ll to play!

New Order -True Faith

a reply to: StallionDuck

Oops my fault....... I thought this was anti-new wave 80's thread.

My mistake

a reply to: Plotus

Good to hear you like the thread.

I will add a few more ( but don't want to hog the thread )

Talking Heads David Byrne is British so i suppose it counts.
