Tangerine Dream - Love On A Real Train

@hhh,
I love that one. Do you know this newer version: Love On A Real Train

I am considering quitting my job, becoming a metro/subway driver, choosing the night shift and then play this song in an endless loop.

Anyone else ever got 'rickrolled'?

Rick(rolled) Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up

I think Stock-Aitken-Waterman had a great sound.

As a true child of the 80s, I think there would probably not be enough space on the Bunsenlabs forums to post all great songs of the 80s.

@Starborn: I've always liked that song, so I've never really minded a good rickroll.

Everything But The Girl - Eden (1984)

I won't throw around phrases like "xx changed my life", but EBTG were definitely seminal for me.

Scorpions

Buggles - 1979; MTV's opening video, as I recall.

I would never post a song that I do not like myself, so. I was a teenager in the '80s, and it was my favourite musical era (next to today's style of Trance music, which does not fit here, as this is an '80s-music thread.)

Are there many Europeans here?

I bet no one has mentioned this (former) duet. It was my very first music album I ever bought, back in 1986, on vinyl.

Ready for Romance (full album) - Modern Talking

Oh, those times, where have they all gone??

I like French songs for some reason, so here's Desireless and France Gall

Desireless - Voyage Voyage

France - Gall - Ella, Elle L'a

few others...

Alphaville - Big In Japan

Roxette - Listen To Your Heart

Martika - Toy Soldiers

Gazebo - I Like Chopin

Bad Boys Blue - "You're A Woman"

Modern Talking - You're My Heart, You're My Soul

of course there are europeans here.
speaking for myself (and not europeans in general) - modern talking was everything we hated. Popper.

my first album bought with my own money was "Simply Red": Money's Too Tight To Mention

edit:
no offense, that was me as a teenager!
neither am i particularly fond of simply red anymore.

The Cure -- Wish

It's been too long since I listened to this one.

ohnonot · 2016-02-16 06:31:29

^ it's a little similar to their "Disintegration" album, which is their last 80s album.

anyhow i was thinking about this thread after listening to some rap/hip-hop yesterday - a genre that was coming strong in the eighties yet hasn'tbeen much honored in this thread?

also, fully electronic music (techno) was a huge thing (nowadays it's become the standard...) - that would be important for a computer operating system forum, no?

tknomanzr · 2016-02-16 06:49:33

The Cure will forever be an 80's group to me regardless what decade they actually produced the music in. In terms of rap, I didn't listen to much of it back then but what I did listen too I prefer over the gangsta style stuff that is mostly the norm these days.

I actually saw Information Society and Book of Love sometime in the early 90's. Information Society's stuff was written on a Commodore Amiga I believe.

We haven't touched a slew of genres, yet (HAIR BANDS, EVERYBODY RUUUUNNNN!!!!!)

Young MC - Stone Cold Rhymin

Stop the Violence Movement - Self Destruction
^I remember most of those rappers!

yes, but that was just used to control the synthesizers (midi).

edit:
i just realized that this was probably meant as an answer on my proposal for "purely electronic" music, but i misunderstood tknomanzr and thought they pointed out "ultimate minimalism".

of course, we had lots of synth music already in this thread; i guess i was refering more to techno and house and such things.
