The 80s

[The Fish 10972]

Red Dwarf, Nirvana etc.

 

They never represent the 80's.

 

Both at their peak in the 90's.

 

You could include the Simpsons and Seinfeld if you just look at when they were conceived.

 

Both were started and going well in the mid/late-80's.

 

Just because they weren't as fashionable as they were later doesn't matter. You might as well say that combats weren't invented until after 2000.

Maybe, maybe not, but from within the 80's..... or do you think Nevermind was Nirvana?

[Fop 1]

What is really bad though is the media's obsession with calling this decade the "noughties".

 

Which basically no one says, apart from the media when doing shit like this.

It's embarrassing really.

 

By the way, the most annoying thing about the 80's is the current obsession with them. Which will no doubt be replaced by an obsession with the 90's and so on and so forth.

Was it not?

 

I know Dave Grohl was a replacement drummer on it, but to say it wasn't Nirvana is a bit far fetched given that they went through drummers faster than Spinal Tap.

What'll the next decade be called?

 

I can't wait until "I love the Decade Between the Noughties and the Twenties" starts on BBC2.

at a guess? they'll call it something like the "Teenies" or something equally eye-ball-gougingly piss-poor

Maybe, but they released their best stuff in the 80's.

 

 

 

Although Nirvana does show how daft the whole "XXties" thing is - formed, released and were pretty successful in the 80's, were massive in the early 90's, but by the late 90's Cobain had been dead for half a decade or more.

Did they fuck

 

Unplugged/In Utero/Incesticide >>> All.

 

Best of the rest = Bleach > Nevermind

That's from a hindsight perspective though. You gotta be there.

Quick everyone, an opinion fight! Get your clichés out!

[Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0]

Inspired by Ketsbaia's shirt, what was the best and worst of the 80's?

 

Best

They ended

 

Worst

Enya

Big hair

Glam Metal

Unrestrained synthesizer use

Maggie Thatcher

The War on drugs

Yoof TV

Concept movies

Yazz and the plastic Population

etc.

I quite liked that. As my formative years were in the eighties, I liked/like the look of ladies from that era. Big hair, shoulder pads, power dressing, that Robert Palmer video all coincide with my sexual awakening.

[Ayatollah Hermione 14075]

Nirvana's best stuff from the 80s? You mean the one album? Unplugged is the best thing they ever did anyway and the only thing that doesn't sound dated now.

[Fop 1]

Aye, but you can't look back and experience it. It's a bit like Keegan and NUFC.

Aye, but you have no taste or judgement.

I'll bet you were in Seattle back in '85 too.

 

And once Thundercats finished of an afternoon you headed down the club to mosh along to Nirvana.

 

[The Fish 10972]

Riles me up when Cobain is rated as some kind of Rock God, when in truth his talent is dwarfed by his hype.

 

Clearly talented, but he's not the messiah he's very naughty corpse

 

Benefiting from the Early Death Syndrome, which inflates the perception of a performers ability to incredible levels.

It's nowt compared to how riled you'll be by Winehouse's popularity in 10 year

Thanks for giving me time for it to build further

Panama I'm afraid, Thundercats helped though.

If only they'd formed in the 70's, it could have all been so different.

Everything that made him a rock god wasn't exactly deliberate.

 

He wasn't the best singer or the best guitar player but he did speak for and unite a lot of people.

 

Job done.

[The Fish 10972]

He didn't "speak" for anybody, he wrote songs and whatnot.

[Tom 14015]

Which is why a whole load of people killed themselves when they heard he was dead.

Doesn't prove anything Tom man. He wasn't a spokesman, he was an idol. People killing themselves because he died is just proof there are a whole load of fucking idiots in the world.
