Listen to this cover. Couple guys in a pizza place. Half the crowd not even paying attention. Amazing.
That was a righteous fucking cover

Because Vice City
Best mainstream band of the 80's
Best non-mainstream band of the 80's
They weren't mainstream, mainstream became them
The 80s was sorta like a post-industrial boom dystopia that verged on transitioning into some serious high tech shit... but stopped short of it somehow, somewhere. Well, technological developments slowed down, but obviously didnt stop completely.
Most of the TV shows on were still from the 70s as networks struggled to find popular shows that weren't sports or game shows and this was before cable TV made networks pull their heads out of their asses (or try to).
Bigger was always better in the 80s no matter what. Big hair. Big (bright) shirts. Big phones. The largest US cities smelled like piss and were cesspools of their own creation. Litter was everywhere to say the least.
forgot to add a few things:
Japan was wrecking everybody's shit until their economy imploded.
Cars were boxy, small (left over from the "gas crisis" of the late 70's), and compensated for boxy fugliness with mechanically retractable headlights
Said like someone who a. didn't live through them b. doesn't remember living through them and is making shit up.
Terra Titanic by Peter schilling
>Big phones
Huh?
and I just realized I TLDR's the op's post and was supposed to post the synth pop/rock ballads that dominated the 80's
I lived through them. What makes you think I didn't?
useless mong
Truth.
...
>Louie ck?
Intense cover though
>I lived through them. What makes you think I didn't?
Sounds more like a documentary intro than sharing an experience.
Nothing but hit and runs here, friend
They Might Be Giants
'nuff said
i didn't know zack had a successful drug business.
Yeah, but nobody but rich people or tv characters actually had them lol.
Just one man can fuck everything up

Truth!
I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am
Give up on popular music and follow the trend
There was a lot of amazing punk rock.
you beautiful bastard
Bob Mould's Solo album was the tits. I still listen to it today.
Don't forget this awesome gem.

The Pursuit of Happiness: I'm An Adult Now
youtube.com
(Their entire album, _Love_Junk_, is way underrated - give it a listen. I was just listening to it again a few days ago - really good hard rock, sometimes with humorous lyrics, and a unique sound.)
Actually I'll just give you another one of theirs.
The Pursuit of Happiness: Hard To Laugh

Camper Van Beethoven: Eye of Fatima

The Cult: Sweet Soul Sister
youtube.com
(Another one where you should check out the whole album. The Cult were like the only metal band you were allowed to listen to if you were "alternative".)
every 80's soundtrack
granted but deservedly so, no?
I am the son, and the heir, of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
Steve albini had some decent 80s stuff
The best
Kinda, but by that point they had worked with Rick Rubin on Electric and on Sonic Temple they worked with Bob Rock so weren't really alternative anymore. Love and Dreamtime and the Southern Death Cult stuff really earned them their "alternative/goth" cred.
Love this song, hate that they used it as the theme song for Charmed.
Sinead O'Connor: Mandinka

Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark: Genetic Engineering

(Fun fact: In his youth, Elliot Rodger was friends with one of the members of OMD's daughter - Maddie Humphreys.)
You get life. well done sir
God I loved her back then.

*sniffles*
Sure, but they still played videos from "Sonic Temple" on _120_Minutes_, which was kind-of an institution back then. I used to tape _120_Minutes_ on VHS, then record the songs onto a cassette, and listen to that instead of the radio.
hoooly shit this movie
One of the first Playboys I ever had (used to trade Car and Drivers for Playboys with our school bus driver)
>ergo The Dead Milkmen
I like you, Stewart. You're not like the other people here, in the trailer park.
...
nice!
I watched both headbangers ball and 120 minutes. Buddies used to get so pissed at 120 minutes but a lot of great music was to be had.
brilliant m8
It was all just trannys and switchblades and drugs.
Los Bukis. Not even joking.
