Late 70's & 80's Music...PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR FAVES

[Marshmello]

I have found MANY Artists and songs that I never knew existed through a thread like this one on another forum, but, it's for Hip-Hop.
I figured this is a much better crowd to solicit tunes from than that crowd in terms of this genre.
:

Thank-You, in advance, for sharing your tunes with me.

Enjoy this 2:37 from 1979. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxB8Z7GL6yc

I'll probably get some shit for this, but "give me back my man" by the b-52s is pretty awesome...

[The End Is Near]

If you like funk, try Rick James - Throwdown. It's been my favorite song for over a year since I heard it. I also recommend Dance Wit' Me to a lesser extent.

The Cars are great! Most of my favorite music is from the '70s and '80s. For example, I really dig the album "Jesus of Cool" by Nick Lowe (1978).

Stock, Aitken, Waterman production for fun/nostalgia... I listened this shit when I was kid.

 

[ol briarhopper]

The music changed about the time CANDY-O became available.New wave music wasnt easily accepted by all.About that time one of my faves was PAT TRAVERS.....CRASH AND BURN.Great album.The Alan Parsons Project had a great album....I ROBOT.Sothern rock was still very big at that time.... check out The Charlie Daniels Band.....Fire On The Mountain.If a band was too commercial I wouldnt buy them so these are a few LPs that everybody didnt have.There were a lot of great LIVE albums in those days.(lot of great muscians)Check out REO SPEEDWAGON.....YOU GET WHAT YOU PLAY FOR.And the list goes on....ol briar

ESKIMO by THE RESIDENTS

1979 - The pieces on Eskimo are generally made up of sound effects, occasional playing on home-made instruments, and gibberish standing in for actual Inuit. The stories were all created by the group and, despite their claims otherwise, is not meant to be a true historical document of life in the Arctic. Rather, it is a symbolic criticism of how Western culture dealt a deathblow to the religions and tribal customs of Native Americans.
Actually, it's just a Grammy nominated musical oddity meant to annoy the senses. Not for everyone! (You've been warned.)
