You get an education on here, until I went 'upstairs' I thought 'come dancing' was to do with ballroom, not Ceroc!

Remember that the Aberdeen Beach Ballroom party has a 'naturist' theme this year. We're all 'au naturale'.

ok guys about 18 replys of thread so to bring things bak to then and now
Music
The sixties and the seventies were far superior for music than the 80's and 90's
we had the beatles, stones, who, cream, queen, dylan, springsteen, sting, otis redding marvin gaye etc etc all emerge during these two decades.
how can the 80's and 90's compare.
or
who is best Dylan or Lennon - Sting or Springsteen, Robbie Williams or Robert plant.

Music was better in the 70's Lennon was a genious although moody.

Top of the pops was an entertaining programme to watch. Do you remember the first colour TV's huge big things with lots of transistors.

Incidentally Mr. Lizard do you have a picture of you in the 70's with long hair???

what nonsense from Bandana Man ... Madness, The Specials and the ska revolution, Punk was picking up steam in the 80s, what about the surge of Rap artists, Heavy Metal bands, and pop with style like Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran, Adam and the Ants. The synth originality of kraftwerk, art of noise. Queen were still going strong. Prince. Vocalists like Lisa Stansfield, George Michael, Rick Astley....er..ok maybe not him.

To me the 80s was the decade of experimentation the 90s continued that trend. Its only in the last few years theres been too much mass market pop-tat but the charts and radio play have been political for years - theres still great new original music out there adn the internet makes it easier to find out about it. You cant rely on the 'Hit Parade' anymore.

In my opinion you lose the right to any respect by releasing a cover of someone elses song - pub bands do THAT. How to ruin your integrity in one go . (depends if you started with any though)


Lets vote on this - all agreed say 'Eye!'

Yes but the strength of the 80's(what precious little existed ) came from the music styles and artists that started in the 60's and 70's
How many big name artists that STARTED in the 80's and 90's are still going strong
Rick Astley nicely sums up the 80's bland and boring

still at least we are back on thread

Just how I'd describe Springstein when it comes to dancing to him.

better with out the stocking though!


well as the thread has turned to music of past eras its a pity hes not here. bill has a huge record collection, and like Lounge Lizard had the hair to go with it

they were on the beach this afternoon in Las palmas on the ceroc holiday and seem to be having a good time.

wish I was there

never mind - I will not pine!!!

Having older brothers and sisters I was always influenced by their music and grew up to the sounds of motown. although I do remember my sister thinking the "lion sleeps to night"was a really good track in the 80's - I think she just fancied the bloke in the loin cloth. I did know all the words to Barry manilow - songs - may be i should not have admitted to that one

Barry Manilow; now there's no shame there!

I have a good version of the Lion Sleeps Tonight by REM. Very good indeed.

Talking of REM, I've been looking for a CD by them with Losing My Religion on it. I just love that track!

Aah, it may be the case that wrinklies from the 60s and 70s are still out there but it doesnt lessen the revolution that was the 80s music. I also think youre not comparing like for like - the music industry changed dramatically in the 80s and 90s - you'll find that a large percentage of people in bands in the 80s are still in the industry - there are just more places for them to progress to without necessarily appearing on Top of the Pops .

My parents took me to see him in concert at Edinburghs Playhouse when i was about 11. My strongest memory is of the very strange behaviour of the rows and rows of screaming middle-aged and elderly women in the stalls.

It's on their album Out Of Time (along with "Shiny Happy People"), released in 1991, so maybe tricky to find nowadays, but surely they've done a "Best Of" album with it on by now?

I think they are just advertising one on TV at the mo, I just keep tuning in that fraction too late to hear what's on it! Losing your Religion must be though, cos they were on "Parky" the other night and sang that one.
