Met my wife 1980 was dating by July and that December took her to see Iron Maiden in their early stages great night. Loved the 80s gigs were so cheap. Saw lots of large rock bands all through the 80s |

I'm slightly embarrassed by it now, but early/mid-80s U2 were my thing.
I remember seeing Under a Blood Red Sky: Live From Red Rocks on The Tube and thought it was amazing!
Find them pretty much unlistentoable nowadays. |

I’m with you there! I liked them until Rattle and Hum but after that I’ve not enjoyed what they’ve done. Plus Bono has become a sanctimonious twat! |

99 Red Balloons
Small Town Boy
Enrols Gay
Something Inside so Strong
Do they know it’s Christmas? Might of been naff, but fuck me it did a lot of good. |

Anything by Howard Jones.
Adored my big brother and Saturday afternoon I'd set up camp in his room, curl up with my book while he pottered and we'd listen to Howard Jones.
Simple Minds - Don't you (forget about me) a lad would always play this for me, he fancied me, it wasn't reciprocated.
George Michael - Careless Whisper. First kiss at a disco.
Queen - Bohemiam Rhapsody. I'd bought this single as a christmas present for my other brother. He recently admitted what it meant to him at the time, he still has it as well, we both cried when he showed me.
Michael Jackson - Thriller, sleepover with friends, we perfected the dance that night.

There and to the left a bit |
Whilst there's an element of rose tinted glasses about the music of the 80s (Japanese Boy, One Day At A Time, No-one Quite Like Grandma, Day Trip To Bangor, pretty much the whole SAW catalogue and more tend to get forgotten and brushed under the carpet) the early 80s was where my musical tastes were forged and many of them still feature in my listening today - to name but a few...
Madness
The Jam
The Specials
Dexys
The Beat
Prefab Sprout
The Housemartins
ABC
The Cure
The Clash
U2

This has made me go back and think about what I use to listen to which is great. Mid 80s is when I got into a lot of reggae which I don’t listen to anymore. A club in Newcastle would regularly have live music. Asward, Black Uhuru, I particularly remember seeing there.
Yellow man
General Saint and Clint Eastwood
Eek a Mouse
Oh I’m gonna have a lovely chilled morning now |

Madness & Wham two of my favourite groups Michael Jackson’s Thriller video and Frankie goes to Holloywood the lyrics to Relax and the video to two tribes go to war and all the controversy that they caused quite tame to what I see and hear about on today’s music |

Remember the music but it meant nothing as I was and still am a northern soul boy.
Had a very horny gf who loved boy George so that still brings a smile to my face when I hear a couple of his songs |
