^^ Thanks, I'm glad. So much is at least rock related at least, and now that I think about it, my list is okay despite putting it together without thinking things through first -- other than thinking I liked it then and now. Incidentally, I also like Sade. She is "quality".

I have all of Sade's albums on CD so I'll give her/them a worthy mention too.

The Rock, I mean, is in a very broad sense. I coudn't think of a better term. |

quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

I realise that my tastes really have not changed very much when looking at these that I "dug" in the 80s and still "dig", as some of the retro cool kids say (there are many more I could list, especially soundtracks).
EDIT: Sorry, forgot it was rock. I've never really been much of a rocker despite liking much music of the rock related or rock fusion variety. Anyway, at the least Midnight Oil would count. But then Sade is mentioned, and I had not thought of Sade as rock. Laurie Anderson - Big Science (1982) Kate Bush - Hounds of Love (1985) Goiorgio Moroder - Cat People (1982) Echo and the Bunnymen - Ocean Rain (1984) Gary Numan - Telekon (1980) Klaus Doldinger - Das Boot (1981) Midnight Oil - Diesel and Dust (1987) Edited by Logan - September 23 2024 at 09:28 |

My musical tastes in the '80s were very different from the other of the last five decades, as I was mostly into mainstream Rock and different kind of much Pop-influenced music. Some of my favourite artists from then, I'm even almost too ashamed to mention today. Yet, there're a number of albums from that period of mine, I still find okay or even some very enjoyable to listen to.
That include not least: Bazaar (DK) - Bazaar Live (1978) Before (DK) - A Wish of Life (1982) Tracy Chapman (USA) - Tracy Chapman (1988) Dire Straits (UK) - Love over Gold (1982) Ian Dury & The Blockheads (UK) - Laughter (1980) Gnags (DK) - X (1983) Kliché (DK) - Okay Okay Boys (1982) Lady Pank (PL) - Lady Pank (1983) Maanam (PL) - Nocny Patrol (1984) Perfect (PL) - Perfect (1981) Sade (UK) - Diamond Life (1984) Bruce Springsteen (USA) - Born in the USA (1984) Sting (UK) - The Dream of the Blue Turtles (1985) Tanita Tikaram (UK) - Ancient Heart (1988) U2 (IRL) - War (1983) Various artists (USA) - Let them eat Jellybeans! 17 Extracts from Americas darker Side (1981) How about you?
