The 80s- Music's Greatest Decade?

[Singinginshower]

Anyone watching?
Really enjoying this, and I like how they are placing the music in context of current events at that time.

Oooh what channel? i'm watching the F1 Qualifying but will have a look. The answer to the question is a big fat-'obviously'!

BBC 2

Yes, I am! It's taking me right back.

Yes I'm loving this series so far

They all look so young though

This lot are very serious 80s people aren't they? I was to be found in the more poppy section.

God i remember it all like it was yesterday.. still got the New Order and Cocteau twins on vinyl

I'm loving itI was thinking that they've got the 'proper' 80s music on, the stuff i as listening to, rather than the poppy stuff that normally is in these throwback shows!

Love a bit of Cocteau Twins.

I miss listening to John peels weird and wonderful sessions

Nah, I'm going back to the F1 qualifying I think. I'll come back later and see if there's something more up my street.

Same here, much more my style ... forgot how much I loved Tracy Chapman and hated The Smiths...

It's brilliant.

Absolutely awesome music. John Peel is a bloody legend.

Bloody love Ian Brown, weird choice i know..

"Likes the Cocteau Twins" used to be shorthand in my place of birth for "gone to university and turned into a right twat". I was more of a Communards / Erasure gay club bopster.

The Pixies!!!!

Probably right.

I loved The Communards and Erasure too though. Not sure where that leaves me

You would have been my club friend, @RobertSmithsHairbrush and then we would go home and listen to a bit of Lou Reed

Hit the North!

Haha @TrevorFountain you are so right!

@SparklingBrook you can come back now - it's moved onto hip hop!

Beastie boys, classic!

Beastie Boys - so many VWs getting the VW badges nicked 😆

Thanks! The nicking of the VW badges, I'd forgotten that.
