baph Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) My favorite growing up was definitely edit for oh shit hotlinked image: Remain in Light And it's still one of my favorites. But I don't think I can just pick an album of the decade. Edited June 9, 2012 by baph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerwolf Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) Without checking my stack of albums, 2 sprung (instantly) to mind Sisters of Mercy - Floodland and Slayers Reign In Blood. I'd agree The Cure made some great records too. These answers are without doing any homework. edit: yeah Nebraska too. It Takes a Nation ....(PE), dunno there's quite a few Edited June 8, 2012 by beerwolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) Can't pick one. Here are the ones I listen to most: Peter Gabriel - So a-ha - Scoundrel Days Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden Eloy - Performance King Crimson - Three of a Perfect Pair Genesis - Invisible Touch or Abacab Nik Kershaw - Human Racing Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues Adrian Belew - Lone Rhino Metallica - And Justice For All I do love a lot of 80s metal and industrial stuff; I'm just not in the mood to listen to it very often. A good pop or prog record, however, does it for me every time. Also, Invisible Touch is electronic as FUCK. Everything is processed beyond recognition into one of the most insanely crisp albums of the 80s. Actually I guess that says a lot about my music taste. All of those albums have beautiful, perfect production. Edited June 9, 2012 by modey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Oh fuck! Forgot about Killing Joke and New Order! Aargh it's impossible for me to pick even ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kokeboka Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) Gary Numan - Telekon Siouxsie & the banshees - Kaleidoscope Pixies - Surfer Rosa Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden Smiths - The Queen is Dead Stone Roses - Stone Roses Roxy Music - Street Life NIN - Pretty Hate Machine Kate Bush - Hounds of Love I like the Police, Duran Duran, Prince and others, but I end up listening more to recent compilations than actual studio albums. I generally prefer 70's Kraftwerk and David Bowie, and 90's Depeche Mode. I'm sure I'm missing a lot of greats...

baph Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 or no Neubauten or Throbbing Gristle? where are you hardcore members? lol good choices bro I think Spleen and Ideal might be tied with Within the Realm... for me, but Within the Realm is fucking necessary music.

joshuatxuk Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 This thread actually made me realize something: most of my favorite albums are from any decade but the 80s. Most are 90s or 00s releases (i.e. when I grew up) or classics from the 60s and 70s. Then I remembered U2 was my first "favorite" band as a young child. My dad listened to quite a few bands but U2 (and R.E.M. a bit later) really stuck with me. I love specific songs from all of U2's 80s releases but Joshua Tree is the only one I consider absolutely solid. It doesn't have quite the same overly epic stadium rock moments as Rattle and Hum or Unforgettable Fire. The sound and scope is more groundbreaking than their early material. It's grandiose, lyrically and sonically, in a good way. Back then Bono still kind of sounded like he was part of band, not just a frontman with 3 other dudes playing all the instruments. I always cite the production of Eno and Lanois in defense of the album...as I am here. I'm sure the shared name of the album and myself had it's superficial appeal to me when I was 4. Nostalgia is still my main reason for picking it. It's probably the first entire album I would listen to intently from start to finish (save B-52s debut and Supertramp's Breakfast In America, but both are from 1979). I listened to it so many times back then just hearing a song from it on the radio lets childhood memories rush in. So there you go. There are plenty of 80s albums I love, but mostly ones I've heard as a young adult in college. Too many runner ups to try making a top ten list.

Guest couch Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 This thread made me feel awkward because I realized I don't know hardly any 80s music that is not rock, hard rock or metal. Most of this stuff I did not really discover until the mid90s as I got old enough to work petty jobs to buy albums. I still want to participate though. If I was forced to pick one it would probably be Sodom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) Hmmm... I have a lot of catching up to do as far as 80's music goes. I just got into The Cure and can't wait to acquire Disintegration --it's next on my list. Some favorites that come to mind: My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything Michael Jackson - Thriller Slayer - Reign in Blood Metallica - ...And justice For All Metallica - Master of the Puppets Ministry - Land of Rape and Honey Ministry - The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste NIN - Broken Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation Edited June 9, 2012 by Zephyr_Nova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audioblysk Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) \ I would pick Disintegration most of the time.

baph Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I'm going on record saying I fucking hate The Cure, not that anyone should care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
