Sadly, i can't compare with those 'eclectic' tastes y'all have got...I've been putting together a couple of MP3 comps of 'what i REALLY liked in the 80's, as opposed to what i told my 'cool' compadres of the time.

So, here goes...

The Cure...17 Seconds/Faith/Pornography/The Top
Looking forward to those re-issues, but i've had to put up with my poppy/clicky vinyl. These are my fav' cure moments, lost interest about the time of Head On The Door..just a tad tooo poppy for me. Love the pop-psychedelia of The Top..playing that LOTS of late, didn't like it on release though, guess i'm getting mellow in my dotage.

New Order, Power Corruption.../Low Life/BBC Sessions/Substance singles comp'.
Apart from Bauhaus, New order were one of the first 'indie' bands i got into...wasn't aware of Joy Division when i first got into these, still some of my fav' records of the 80's..remember having a great Radio 1 'In Concert' tape from around 83 or so that bit the dust a year or two ago, now that was one of my fav tapes EVER! :(

Bauhaus ... Press The Eject../Sky's Gone Out/Burning From The../BBC Sessions.
What can i say, they still sound pretty good to me, sad that they got into the whole 'goth' thang, as they had so much more to offer. Lover their heavy bass and wirey guitars, even loved ole' Pete'sstage theatrics, yeah, so they ripped Bowie big time, but i still love em. Press The Eject is a great live record too.

Neils Child Change/ Return/ Success + Live Birmingham.
Saw em'at Club NME last week, got in free, which was an ace birthday pressie, they were fabbo, nuf said. New Wave punk sonics inna Pil meets Cure vibe, lUURVE EM', best live band all year so far...even better than LCD in Manc, and they were GOOOD.

Various crappy 80's comp's to cherry pic the tunes i liked

Anyhow, could waffle on for ages, but your bored already.

Have a good week
