      Gernot and I have both been slipping, he's been sick and I've just been busy. But here is a special 80's Music Fun by me.

    These two songs are different from what we usually get. Trying to class up the board? \:\-\)
    The Philip Glass one was a really nice peice of music. The Penguin Cafe Orchestra was good as well.


You got me. I gotta smarten us up...No really I just like the songs.

    Hmm...I don't think I liked this song. It was alright, but I don't think it'd become a McCartney favorite for me.


It's not his greatest but it's been stuck in my head for days!!!

    I'd forgotten how much I like this song. They really know how to put together a song, and Geddy Lee has a great voice.


This is one of their best.





    Quote:
    This song opens up like 80's garage rock and then become quite experimental. You can see the influence on bands like Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins in the 90's. It really sounds transitional between aternative music of the 80's and 90's.


People think grunge started with Nirvana. I think this sort of 80s alternative is becoming obscure so we need to listen to more of it.





    Quote:
    I'm familiar with the Vaselines from Nirvana. I did look up a few of their songs a while ago, and liked them. This is a good one, too. They're odd and quirky but pretty good.


Another band I have to listen to more of.
