Re: Bands from the 80`s
Inspired by Dash1965 , I thought I would start a new thread to bring back memories of the 80`s. The bands/ groups and the fashions. So here goes with "A flock of Seagulls" and I think it was called "a photograph of you"
I also have to admit that for a very short period I did wear leg warmers.
Gotta go before I admit to anything else.
Cheers

Re: Bands from the 80`s
Some of these started in the 70s but these were my favourites at the time: The Clash (the late great Joe Strummer), Stiff Little Fingers, Souixie & The Banshees, U2, The Police. The very wonderful Peter Gabriel, Def Leppard, The Boomtown Rats, The Jam. Some of my first loves here.
Turning Japanese by the Vapours was also a favourite.

Re: Bands from the 80`s
My brother still goes to watch the Dammned whenever and wherever he can, they must be sick of the sight of him. I wonder if they scan the crowd and say, "Oh, I wonder where Pete is, he's not in tonight...I hope nothing's happened to him!"

I reckon it was the best era ever as far as British Music was concerned.
