Christmas Tree 4700 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 While taxi'ing tonight I had Real radio on in the background and it must have been 80's night tonight. When you listen to those tunes and lyrics you realise that nothing since has come close. Such corkers as .... Wimoweh wimoweh wimoweh wimoweh in the jungle the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight. and Zoom, just one look and then my heart went boom Suddenly and we were on the moon Flying high on the neon sky, oh Fucking classics of our time that everyone knows word by word. I felt proud to have been part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasepud 59 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I was about to agree with you until I saw the choice of tracks you made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Without any doubt the 80's was the best music decade, and I'm a 90's kidda really. I loved the 90's too, but far more classics in the 80's. As kids everyone used to stop playing in the streets when TOTP came on, it was like a highlight of the week on a Thursder neet at hapast 7.

Guest alex Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Only CT could cite a 1930s song as an example of why the 80s was the best musical decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonGoodwyn 1 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 There's been a load of great music released consistently since the 60, including nowadays, but a lot of my favourite stuff came out in the 80s and early 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 13805 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Nice one. The hip-hop in the late 80s was the best part of the decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakehips 0 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Late 70's, early 80's drift into one great period for me. Punk/New Wave/Ska. Ah, man, the heart's a'pumpin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10750 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I think the 80's is covered in too much shit from Stock Aitken and Waterman, and that ilk for me to call it the best music decade ever. But as a kid who had the benefit of getting into music around the mid to late nineties, that'll forever hold a special place in my musical heart.
