No idea why but decided a bit of 80s music this morning, actually when cranked up it gives the HiFi a good work out

Dangerous Rhythm on there? Reap The Wild Wind? Quartet is a great album.

First CD I ever bought to go with the, new then, CD player. It would be, 84 or 85 I think. Great album, and cymbal less.Just had to spin The Hounds Of Love after a piece of Ms Bush last night.
Brilliant.

I have been experimenting and trying to be open minded to try and get out of the 70-80's rut which is obviously the best era for music, and tried a number of random finds
Alison Cotton - Only darkness now. Utter tosh
Swans - Children of God / Feed good now. Dirge of the highest order
Passenger - Songs for the drunk and broken hearted - Melodic and rather good
Plastic Hearts - Miley Cyrus. Really quite a rocker now. enjoyed that
Still Corners - Last Exit. Forgettable
Cunning Folk - A casual Invocation. Complete tosh
Fiona Apple - Fetch the bold cutters. Liked that
PWR/UP - AC/DC - Thank god for something with a bit of oomph.
Jon Anderson - 1000 hands, Chapter one. Oh god no more chapters please.
Phoebe Bridges - Stranger in the Alps. Quite a find!
So pretty hit and miss, mostly miss
But I have also listeninng to albums and new stuff
Mark Knopfler, Paul Weller, Diana Krull, Krissie Hynde, Bruce Springsteen, whole oevre of AC/DC
Janice Ian
Peter Gabriel
Elton John
Genesis
The Waterboys
Manic Street Preachers
Arcade Fire
etc
You can't beat the the old stuff even if it's new stuff!

I bought them all as they were released. Up until about The Red Shoes. Tastes change and I'd from memory entered period of personality change, poor taste and mental suffering. Yes I'd gone 'Heavy Metal' and came out of it in at even worse state by going stadium-era (well, Manchester Apollo) Dire Straits. I didn't recover until discovering Green on Red, Jason and the Scorchers, Rain Parade and other American guitar bands at the various Manchester Internationals.Love Kate.....I had a box set of all the LP's ...Paid £30 for it and then was offered £200 for it a few years back.....Didn't love her that much to keep it..... ;-)

Being an un-reconstructed 80s throwback myself can I suggest
Christine and the Queens
John Grant (Specifically Pale Green Ghosts)
Gotye Making Mirrors
New Pretenders / Chrissy Hynde / Texas albums
Just a couple of slightly more modern stuff that I enjoy
