1980's YouTube music nostalgia thread

Lita Ford, 80's chick supreme..



(And dig Ozzy's hair, he looks like Dougal from the Magic Roundabout..)

The coolest video of the 80's, thanks to Russel Mulcahy, Wild Boy's by Duran Duran..



And it doesn't get much more 80's than this..



And a random classic..

 
I was going to post those last few songs Wibble. I got in trouble with Fran for suggesting the Flying Pickets version of Only You was better than Yazoo. I love the video for Smalltown Boy, it's a classic song from the 80s.

So you should have been. She struck me as a woman of impeccable taste and judgement. Choice of men aside ;)

Excellent isn't it. Remember that people were actually a bit scandalised that he was openly gay?
 


let's go by wang chung is so 80's. it reminds us so many nice music of those days.



sorry, i've to add this as well as it is synonymous with 80's
 
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs



Not quite as good as the album version but still superb.
 
At the height of their powers when they were still all alive, the boys from steel town didn't do bad for themselves.





And my favorite...


The next two are for Livvie


And of course their masterpiece (with a two armed drummer)!


I miss Steve Clarke! :(

I wonder why this thread died a death?

Was it me posting Def Leppard, or the general age of most posters?

Def Leppard were fecking great. They were my favorite band as a young teen even went to see them in Sheffield (after Steve Clarks death unfortunately, 92' I think it was)

Pyromania is still a great album now.

Nice one.

It was my first proper gig, I was 14/15 at the time and went with my sister who got me into them. I've got five years on you anyway I'm 30.
 
Where was it btw? On the Hysteria tour I guess?
 
Def Leppard were very famous for sometimes nonsensical but brilliant lyrics. In this example, saucy..

I just happen to be a man
And you happen to be a woman
And we happen to be together
Try to stop this thing comin'

...


You couldn't get it much better
You never had it so good
Stand up together
And when you're ready to
You're gonna get what you should

They were far bigger in the US than they were in the UK, which is rather strange for a UK band of their quality.

I always found that strange too, but the Yanks love there Rock, they still do.


Btw just put Pyromania on, love a good nostalgia trip.
 
Love Die Hard The Hunter too and Foolin'.

You forget what a great album this was or is even.
 
Not my favourite era, but I haven't seen any Blondie. Debbie Harry must be a pensioner, but would you?.............
