Posted: 11/4/2009 11:59:21 AM | Ahhh...construction year is over (concrete anyways), kickin' back lettin' the beat-up body take its rest for a bit before hitting the gym for the winter...spending most of the time relaxing, listening to music and playing my guitar...
Then I got to wondering, when I found one of my most favorite bands on youtube, how many other 80's bands I forgotten about but still love their music to this day. Thorogood will always remain one of my favs, as well as Sawyer Brown, Nitty Gritty, and the Jitters.
But I finally got reacquainted with my all-timer favorite finally on youtube...The Razorbacks. Geez, I still remember when I first heard them play SATURDAY NIGHT the first time on the Super Dave Osborn Show.
Does anyone have any long-forgotten fav bands and/or songs from the 80s? Be kinda nice to hear of bands/songs that a lot of us have forgotten over the years and see what memories they bring back... | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 12:27:17 PM | There are a lot - that's for sure.
One that sticks out for me as a "whatever happened to" band....The Gin Blossoms. Remember them? I liked them.
Oops, not really '80s.....I just googled. They were formed in 1987 but their hits were in the early '90s, specifically 1993. | |

Funny... I saw them in the mid 90s at reds in Edmonton and there was not a single original member left. I wondered how they could even use the name... spoke to their manager and he told me he had bought the rights. He apparently was the original manager. Kind of cheapened my memories of the band... but I still have a ton of their stuff on my MP3. Great southern rock. | |

Posted: 11/4/2009 12:35:37 PM | Problem with Gin Blossoms is that they were quite repetitive... the three hits they had sounded exactly the same... but they did have an awesome name... wiki gin blossom... it's awesome!
I had a dance routine to Beat It at a young age... | |

Kid had a "Flat Top". The dude did that movie too, I can't remember it. D Rock has a flat top in the movie Notorious about Biggie Smalls
I regret never having a Flat Top. | |

Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody
Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet
Van Halen - The David Lee Roth era
Guns 'N' Roses - Their earliest stuff.
Duran Duran - Yes they made very very cheesy videos, but at least they are remembered.
If I could go one more decade up then I'd have the goodies like Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana. | |
