The most vivid music experience I have had was between 1980 and 1985. This was the music I was raised on, the music I most naturally I immersed myself in between 12 and 18 years. At the time it never occurred to me that almost all the artists were white, and it didn't matter either. Twenty years down the road, and as many years of listening to and studying music with far more intent, I look back and see an era where white artists left behind a fantastic body of music, unequalled since in many respects, and ever more distinguishable in rhythm, melody, lyric, style and wit. For me it remains some of the best music ever issued, from a personal emotional viewpoint it will stay THE unrivalled soundtrack of my childhood. And, yes, that also included Prince, MJ, Cameo, Midnight & Atlantic Starr, New Edition, etc. etc. etc.

interesting observation, 80s on the heels of the 70s explosion of soul music, disco, etc and a real division between rock and roll and black music, 80s start of the mtv era where black artists were not allowed on the air until mj's billie jean and soon thereafter hip hop becomes the dominant cultural force...

That clip is from Top of the Pops, so yes

I am probably alone in this, but I LOVED A-Ha's followup single. Not as popular as 'Take On Me,' but I dug it.

A guilty pleasure ... wasn't until I was older that I learned she was a comedian!

-------------------



Another followup track that I enjoyed more than the original which made her a hit.

I shouldn't like this ... but I do!

When I was 14 or 15, I didn't look at music that way. I was a kid in East Africa vibing off grainy VHS cassettes of Top Of The Pops and swapping Prince records with my mates. There was no MTV. I didn't even get into Hip Hop until '87, when I came here. And it's only from thereon in that music began to be more than just a pure, fun thing.

Thx for cheering guys! Cause when they started with "the worst?"
Anyway, for you all, I come in peace to represent 80's Belgium.

I remember myself clubbing with that dude of the Confetti's.
He always came as an act, one time he had a combat uniform on, next week it was a police uniform... and the only thing he did was standing still, after one hour or so he just changed his position. Dude's crazy
Rumour is that he now has some serious mental issues. He became people shy?
