sidcow Posted January 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2021 Anyone else think Thompson Twins are an underrated 80's band? You rarely hear them on the radio, see them mentioned on nostalgia TV shows, almost like they never existed, but I think they were better than lot of bands you hear played from time to time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted January 19, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2021 That "Weeknd" dude who is going to perform on the SuperBowl halftime-show (How I heard of him) sounds very 80s pop. It's coming back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The origianal 7(?) piece band were great live, lots of audience participation with dustbin lids and wheel caps being banged, then they had a hit with In The Name of Love binned 4 of the band and turned into 3 piece shite pop act Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few bands from that era who I really liked ..but the music doesn't seem to have aged well ..Thompson twins being one of them .. Just had a play of "you take me up" though for nostalgia , but I'm not scrambling to download their greatest hits album , which kinda says it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you appreciate the 80's, you will probably be getting to that age where forgetfulness creeps in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'd have suggested an 80's party with Culture Club , I'd also be doing my best to forget it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Culture Club are part of one of my ealiest memories, listening to Karma Chameleon at my Nan and Grandad's on BRMB. Which I guess also indicates my vintage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 “I’d spend hours in HMVs, Virgin Megastores and second-hand record shops staffed by greasy-haired 40-year-olds dressed as 20-year-olds, listening to contemporary music of every genre – Britrock, heavy maiden, gang rap, brakebeat. And I came to a startling but unshakeable conclusion: no genuinely good music has been created since 1988.” - Alan Partridge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
