Who’s your favourite '80s pop star or group?
The '80s are a decade that doesn’t always get the respect it deserves.
So, after a recent discussion on @popheads, I’ve decided to reach out and see who some of your favourites are, and why?
I’ll kick off the thread with Janet… Ms. Jackson, if you’re nasty.
Why?
This speaks for itself:
Oldschool Metallica.
@ajsadauskas @popheads @music Omd, Pet shop boys, eurhythmics
Best group of the 1980s:
Duran Duran - over the top sound that was truly unique. Lyrics that were sometimes confusing but always beautiful.
These guys had style.
early - The Cars
late - REMso many more, but these stand out to me because recently I’ve been thinking neither get the respect and love they deserve
It’s strange there is a belief that eighties music doesn’t get the respect it deserves.
I think back to performers like Tina Turner, Prince, Dire Straits, Phil Collins, Whitney Houston and to bands like U2, Blondie, The Beltanes, AC/DC,…
There was some awesome music and many are still household names greatly respected around the world.
Anyway, Simple Minds and Runrig are a couple of bands who provided (some of) the soundtrack to my young adult life.
