Over on the protest song thread I've kind of been on an unofficial mission to show that protest anthems didn't end with the Nixon administration, and I've been a defender of 80s music for some time now. In the last 10-15 I've been revisiting some of that stuff as the nostalgia that's inevitable for one of my age kicks in, and I'm surprised at how much of it holds up. Particularly if you disregard the production values at the time.
Some of the surprise, I'm sure, comes from the fact that at the time I was listening to misplaced sexual aggression hair band metal. And that I thought a lot of alternative music was...well, effeminate. Especially the synth-driven stuff. I don't feel that way anymore and I'm not ashamed to admit to loving Depeche Mode and The Smiths now.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, here's a couple from an icon of Angry Young Man Pub-Rock. I'm working on versions of both of these; you may get them laid on you sometime soon when we're all together again.
Won't you join me in celebrating 80s music that doesn't suck?

I've posted this before, but ICYMI here's Natalie Merchant and Michael Stipe with Billy Bragg doing a John Prine tune.
I think we can just agree that My Aim Is True is a seminal disc?

My namesake. I love to play this one. (technically 1979)
And what should probably be my theme song.
Let's face it, the entire Repo Man soundtrack is great.

Planned Obsolescence
"Treat me to an honest face sometime. Amaze me now."
God, she was cute. The thinking boy's pin-up girl. Robert Buck was a unique guitarist too. I wish he was still with us.
While we're on the subject, my friend from HS & college, Jeff, has gotten pulled on stage by Natalie to sing Stipe's part on "Campfire Song" no less than three times. The only time he saw them and didn't was when they opened for The Dead 07/04/1989 (Truckin' Up To Buffalo), and there was no way he was getting up front. He's a memorable character, as you may have guessed.

Jane's Addiction's version of Ripple is surprisingly fire. The way they play it allows them to segue seamlessly into an Other One jam and if you listen closely to Dave Navarro's noodly guitar way back in the mix, he plays one bar of "Bird Song" just before it fades out.

George Thoroughgood was going strong in the 80's and Robert Earle Keen was kicking off then, too, along with his roomie Lyle Lovitt.
Anyway every decade had its greats and its wretcheds. Music styles didn't change each time the year ended in a zero. In fact, lots of what we think is "Fifties" music ala American Graffitti is from the early sixties, hippie music from the sixties is from the early 70's, etc. etc.

The mind is a terrible thing to taste, lol.
Been wondering for some time now where Kristin Schaal got a time machine to go back and appear on Louder Than Bombs album cover! Too bad Moz turned into such a dick...
