Hairythicko.
So by your bizzare reckoning West Ham won the World Cup in the 70's as the masses had more access to television a decade later?
You fucking prick.

Junglism for me
Best dj i ever seen play out live was John Merrick - aka Nellie The Nelephant Man - in 1991.
Oh sir the sights i saw & that he wove. By then he had shrugged off his earlier victorian circus oddity period reputation and ascended the pantheon of junglism to become one of the most elite drum & bass turntablists east anglia or pitsea had ever seen.
To see John banging it out on the 12 10's was to know you were watching a master at work mate - a true pinnacle of the riding the riddim.
With his specially adapted Bose headphones - bespoke made for him at two extendable feet wide to encompass his gigantic distended head - John held the crowd in thrall as he nimbly scratch mixed some of the top d&b bangers of the day with both his normal looking arm as well as the hideously lumpen & twisted one which resembled a shonky old fallen tree branch in the woods where you find pornos & trolleys.
John was able to overcome his lamentable carny appearance to become one of the top boys on Centrifugal Force Shout Out FM radio - where he regularly bigged up alla the massive and pushed for rewind.
What a fucking legend - big in the game - you get me?

Is it not possible to listen to a song that got to no 1 in feb 1979 and a year or so later listen to it many many times and associate it with the 80's ?.
As your such a fucking clever cloggs answer me this which decade was Heart of Glass played more on the radio the 70's or the 80's?, I think you might just understand where I am going unless you are thick.
All I said was that the song took me back to the 80's I never said it was made in that decade.
I remember Nessun dorma from the 1990 world cup and will always remember it strongly at that decade of time in my life, but it was written in 1924.

Re: Nostalgia....and nothing to do with West Ham...
Parallel Lines is a classic album and Debbie Harry was an absolute sort.
Hairyhalfwit
The album was released in the 78 which in my way of thinking is The 70's albeit late 70's.With reference to the album. I would in my correct opinion describe as commercial "punk."
A million miles and a few years away from typical 80's
I'm not the one here who's incorrect you are.
Wanker.

So we all agree that the best album of the 80s was from 1979 and everything from the 80s was shit then?

Late 70's early 80;s Mod revival stuff.... Secret Affair, Jam etc.... loved all the 2 Tone stuff... Early Dexy's... late 80's into Simple Minds, The Smiths, Style Council and U2 Big Country.... some great dance music around as well... great time 80's... some dross but great times and some more than decent music... great time for youth movements and tribes ... probably last real decade for that ... then again once a Mod always a Mod

Saw the Q-tips (Paul Young) a couple of times in the early 80's - they were a very tight band (as were Dexy's before Rowland went daft - SFTYSR still one of my favorite albums).
Lived in Italy in mid eighties so missed the start of the House/Garage scene, and when I did get to hear it, decided it was shit. Acid Jazz for me. At the time.

Your right but it was played solidly for at least two years on the radio and was definitely revolutionary enough to be classed as an 80's tune even if it got to the top of the charts in 79.

You're not alone. There are 2 of us
Check out midge ures recent orchestral album. I was never a fan of dancing with tears in my eyes but the version of that on this is fantastic.
Hymn gets the full majestic treatment.

Thanks mate I do like a depressing track!!! I was watching a programme the other night on the music videos of the early 80's. Quite fascinating really how they pulled a lot of them off with very little technology. A lot of 80's bands could play as well, Live Aid now would be a load of kids miming or using auto tune with no one actually playing any instruments!!

Yup. Some of the best metal/hard rock albums came out in the 80s.
Notable contributions from Motorhead, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Dio, Sabbath, Judas Priest, Van Halen and all the US hair metal bands who were great fun before grunge killed it all.
