when i was 20 years younger ....
the stuff i loved was all quirky .. a lot of it was on Stiff Records .
- elvis costello - lena lovich - thomas dolby - the yachts - ian gomm - ian dury and lots of the steve lilywhite and similar bands : - the icicle works - simple minds - the colour field - red lorry yellow lorry - psycedellic furs - gang of four - flesh for lulu - echo and the bunnymen - the wonder stuff etc. etc. etc.. (when i wasnt listening to : the pistols buzzcocks black flag killing joke soft boys etc, etc etc any of the older members remember any of these older bands ? the younger ones will hate this stuff to death but oh well, its what I grew up on :) |
i listened to a few of those (especially the british acts)
|
Not real familiar with those...When I was 20 years younger, I was listening to:
Black Sabbath Iron Maiden AC/DC Nine Inch Nails (Trent was pretty new then ;)) Quiet Riot Def Leppard Lynard Skynard Judas Priest Led Zeppelin Bob Segar Twisted Sister Queen Cyndi Lauper Prince Sooo many more...But, I'm sure you get the idea... |

i listened to these as well (i removed the ones i didnt) but i had friends in bands who turned me onto this mostly british wave in the 80's .. most of it we had to buy on imported vinyl so it cost an arm and a leg ... |
I wasn't really big on the "new wave" stuff. I did like Elvis Costello,Simple Minds, some Ian Dury and Thomas Dolby.
A few you didn't mention that i liked were Underworld The The Frankie Goes to Hollywood But i guess for the most part i was and still am "STUCK IN THE 70s" Allman Bros Skynyrd Black Sabbath Zepplin AC/DC Bad Co ect.ect.ect. |

i totally forgot to mention The The and it was on my mind when i wrote the post .. I have almost everything buy them/him ... Uncertain Smile - what a great song .. |
This thread is prejudice against us young'ns who happen to only BE twenty....
Jerks. |

Aerosmith America Arthur Guthrie Bob Geldof Bob Marley Bob Seger Boomtown Rats Buddy Holly Cat Stevens David Bowie Eagles Gary Jules George Harrison Grand Master Flash Joe Strummer Joe Walsh John Lennon Johnny Cash Johnny Mandell Joni Mitchell Led Zepplen Lynyrd Skynyrd Mason Proffit Mason Williams Moody Blues Neil Young Pete Drodge Peter Gabriel Pink Floyd Queen Queensryche Rebekah Del Rio Rush Sex Pistols Simon and Garfunkle The Beatles The Clash The Highwaymen The Pogues The Ramones The Rich Kids The Talking Heads The Who Velvet Underground Willie Nelson Yann Tiersen The Animals Bob Seger Rolling Stones John Cale Steve Miller Band Doobie Brothers Poco Little River Band REO Speedwagon (saw them live three fucking times, met them once) Roy Orbison Buzzcocks Generation X The Servant Supertramp Lou Reed Vera Lynn yeah, them under 20 year old kids...:rolleyes: EDIT: And since they were brought up, and I never pass up an opportunity to tell this joke...

There are some very cool younguns on this site.:cool: Although i'm not to sure about STE......i think he is a forty year old trapped in a 18 year old body. |
19, though to be fair, it was a month ago (today, actually)
|
When I was 20 years younger I had an umbilical cord....
I listen to about 60% of STE's list but I don't really have any music knowledge I just know what I like and what I don't like, as far as the impact a paticular band made or what style they are ect. ect. I have no clue about that kinda stuff. actually I just looked at it again and it's more like 45% |
Let's see, 20 years ago I listened to...
All of the shitty 80's song that played on the radio....and where I lived, they didn't play any of the good shit... |
Twenty years ago I was listening too Cold Chisel, AC/DC, Simple Minds, INXS (they were my first favorite band..... fucks me what there into these days *cringes*), U2 and heaps and heaps of Bowie and Pink Floyd. I would basically listen to what my brother and sister had lying around at the time. I remember liking a couple of The Pyscedelic Furs albums especially the white one that came out around '86 (fucks me waht it was called) and the band Dead or Alive's album Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know.
But yeh thats what I was into when I was 5 or 6.... strange shit and pretty far away from what I'm into know days. @ UrgeOK: Never picked you for the Black Flag fan? Do you get into the Circle Jerks? Its the original singer out of BF's band. It kicks Black Flags ass in my opinion especially their album Group Sex. Speaking of New Wave did you ever get into Pere Ubu? I really like their albums The Modern Dance and Dub Housing. Amazing stuff! Didn't really dig much of their other stuff tho. |

pere ubu .. yeah they are a great band ... never made a dime. i remember them being on letterman and they paid their own way to get there ... unheard of .. (the show normally foots the bill) i always thought of them as a 'new wave' Sugar |
