runthemover 39 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Being born in the early eighties I wasn't exactly popping off to the record store every weekend. Now I do have a good collection of 80's songs but. ok well I have a decent collection. alright I pretty much have diddly compared to what I'd like to have. Anyway help me out by telling me your essential albums of all genres from this decade . I really do have many of the big songs just not any albums. If this turns out well and I'm sure it will. I may just ask about other decades. Thanks in advance.edit: sweet I spelled sibling wrong Link to post Share on other sites

Shimmering Wang 1 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I can do this. I'll give you whatever I think of in the next 3 minutes. GO!Talking Heads- Remain in Light; Stop Making SenseSonic Youth- Daydream Nation; Sister; EVOLPixies- Surfer Rosa; (and all the other ones I can't remember)The Smiths- The Queen is Dead; Strangeways, Here We ComeDinosaur, Jr.- You're All Over MeTalk Talk- Spirit of Eden; The Color of SpringThe Replacements- Let it Be; (and there's another one that's really good I can't remember)The Police- SynchronicityElvis Costello- (look the albums up, I can't recall any names, because I am rushing and stupid)There's a ton more, but these are some of my favorites. For most of these bands there are other albums that are as good or close to as good.Wang Link to post Share on other sites
strategy 4 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Depeche Mode - Some Great RewardAlso, if you don't care about missing the 80's by a year, Violator is a pretty awesome album from them as well. Link to post Share on other sites

SilentSnow 1 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I cant say which you might like the best, so I roughly listed them in the order of popularity, from most to least. I wasnt around then, so it is just a guess though. If you want the safe picks, start at the top of the list.If you want good music that you might not have heard before, start at the bottom. Guns and Roses- appetite for destruction- cant believe this hasnt been mentioned yet.Ozzy Osbourne- greatest hits if you want more songs, blizzard of oz if you want an 80s cd.U2- the joshua tree- i actually like the songs they dont play on the radio better.the Police- every breath you take:the classics- go for the compilation unless you are a purist.the Smiths- singles- if you dont want to get multiple albums this is a must own.REM- eponymous- this is the compilation of Rem's 80s cds.Depeche Mode- catching up with depeche mode.the Cult- sonic temple- not the most critically aclaimed, but I like them.Sonic Youth- daydream nation- might be the best album of the 80s.Pixies- doolittle- much better than surfer rosa in my opinion.Sisters of Mercy- a slight case of overbombing- if you like longer songs this cd is for you.the Chameleons- strange times- great cd that many people dont know about.Love and Rockets- earth, sun, moon- another forgotten band that was pretty good.Shriekback- Oil and Gold- one of my favorite 80s cds, although not sure if it has widespread appeal.Leonard Cohen- im your man- a little short, but everyone should own a Cohen cd.Spacemen 3- playing with fire- great cd with distinct sound.

timwakefield 68 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Talking Heads cannot be stressed enough. Speaking In TonguesMore Songs About Buildings And Food (technically from '78, but it's sooooo good)True Stories is also good, and Remain In Light, and Stop Making Sense is live, and is awesome as well. '77 is also great, but obviously not from the 80sStop Making Sense is also like the best concert video ever. Everybody should buy it. Some of it is on Youtube:Psycho KillerOnce in a LifetimeBurning Down the House/Life During Wartime Link to post Share on other sites
