Think of this as a companion piece to David's https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133622" rel="nofollow - Your fave Rock albums IN the '80s, and still ok? I did https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=133626" rel="nofollow - Better late than never: 90s acts got into post-90s with the same theme as this.

The idea is for you to mention/comment/list acts with music from the 80s that you only got into years after the 80s were over (you got int the 80s music years after the 80s and the bands/artists were active in the 80s). From some of the youngsters here, that would be all from the 80s that they know. If you knew a song, that's okay.

Optionally, if you could mention a specific album from the 80s and even a song, that would be great.

Here are 20 notable ones to start from me:

After Dinner: This Japanese band features the wonderful and lovely Haco as singer -- one of my favourite album of the 2000s, Ash in the Rainbow is a Haco collaboration. That sound more mature and sophisticated whereas After Dinner has something of a naive art pop charm to it. Of its two studio albums, I choose 1989's Paradise of Replica and "Ka-No-Pu-Su-No-Ha-Ko" as my choice of song off of it.

Art Zoyd: I only discovered Art Zoyd in 2004-2005 during my great progressive music awakening. It became what I have called my favourite band. I love all of the 80s output (and more), but to mention just one album and track, I'm feeling Le mariage du ciel et de l'enfer from 1985 right now with "Sortie 134".

Glen Branca: I only really got into his music in that few years, and I mention his here particularly for the amazing The Ascension from 1981. The title track sounds far ahead of its time and like one of the best experimental post-rock tracks I have ever heard. Anyway, I think it's an altogether fantastic album.

Camberwell Now: It has just the one studio album, but what an amazing slice of Avant Prog meets Art/Post Punk this is. "The Ghost Trade" is so good. This Heat, which will also be in my list, is related.

Cardiacs: Cardiacs I knew about from friends in a punk band in the early 90s. At a sci-fi forum I belonged to in the early 2000s a number of people were very into Cardiacs. I was not to keen on the circus-like antics, nor Tim Smith's vocals. I did come around to Cardiacs when I heard "Dirty Boy" off Sing to God, which may be the greatest rock song ever, or is it "Big Ship"? As my album pick, I will go with 1989's On Land and In the Sea and I will choose the grandiose "The Everso Closely Guarded Line" off of it.

Cocteau Twins: I knew of CT in the 80s, but I only got into Cocteau Twins in the past few years. I remember talking to someone in 1989 about music we like. He said Cocteau Twins, and I confused it with Thompson Twins. Shudder, the horror, the shame of it all. I actually explored it it after rediscovering Massive Attack's mesmerising "Teardrop" with Elizabeth Fraser (the singer in Cocteau Twins). I like all of the 80s ones, but to choose just one 80s album by CT, I will go with Treasure, and I will go with "Ivo" as my choice of track off of it.

Dead Can Dance: Got to know this band in my early PA days, but I have been listening to it more than ever over the last few years. I love the 80s and more albums. I will go with Spleen and Ideal as my album choice, and "Advent" as my choice of track off it. "The Host of Seraphim" off The Serpent's Egg is calling out to me, choose me!

Dün: This was one of the first bands I go into which I discovered thanks to PA's mp3s before I joined this site as Logan. I probably discovered Eskaton and Picchio dal Pozzo on the same day (some days are very good). Spoiler: The worms are the spice. "L'épice" is my pick.

Eskaton: Got really into this band in 2005, still love it. I love all three of its 1980s albums but 4 Visions is a masterpiece. It's in in the Zeuhl category at PA and I got into this band before THE Zeuhl band, which is Milli Vanilli, which is in reality Magma (the fakers!).

Fabio Frizzi: A fellow PA poster who recommended to me what became many of my favourites recommended this Italian soundtrack composer to me, and then I added it to PA (after an evaluation, of course). L'aldilà (The Beyond) while be my choice with the lovely "Suono Aperto" as my choice of track from this score for a schlocky horror film.

Geinoh Yamashirogumi: I really got into this band in about 2010 due to hearing its first album from 1976, Osorezan which stunned me (there's a terrific live version of it too). I then later started exploring other albums which are different and I love in their own ways. My favourite of this project's albums from the 80s is Symphonic Suite AKIRA and I adore "Requiem" off it. I had seen and loved the anime Akira in the late 90s.

Joy Division I have known of since the 1980s. I was at a party about a decade ago and the discussion turned to Joy Division. I just nodded along not really knowing more than a bit about the band (I really felt like that uncool kid, which I am anyway). I have had similar experiences with Twin Peaks and Game of Thrones where they were being talked about and raved about at parties, and it would not be years that I watched them (I became a huge Twin Peaks fan). Anyway, it was only in the last few years that I finally listened to the Joy Division albums, and better late than never. Great stuff. I love Joy Division's Closer and "Decades" is the track that especially caught my attention when I first played the album.

Penguin Cafe Orchestra: I first got to know this band mid-2000s, and liked it immediately, but only more recently would I call myself a big fan. That was due to a topic here at PA that got me exploring the music again (thank you!). I'm going with he self-titled from 1981, or no, actually, I will go with rather more conventional Broadcasting From Home and "Air" as my choice. By the way, my absolute favourite from them is their debut from 1976.

Siouxsie and The Banshees: Known the name for decades, but I only started exploring the music over the past five or so years. A well-known band, and what an amazing find for me. Sometimes it's about unearthing the obscurities, and sometimes the bleedin' obvious. I actually have been more into Gothy things over the past few years. "Israel" is a particular favourite track, but I am going to do "Juju" as album with "Into the Light" as my song choice from it.

Swans: I didn't get into Swans until after To Be Kind was released, which I checked out due to a post at this forum. It was over the past four or so years that I became a big Swans fan, and in fact it was because I was exploring the music to try to convince someone here that despite hating the early albums he likely would find music to enjoy and thus he need not think of Swans as unalienable Filth (my words, not his). My efforts were not as successful as I had hoped, but more importantly, my efforts turned me into a huge Swans fan. While most of my Swans fave albums are in the 90s and 2010s, in the 80s Swans released one of my very favourite albums with Children of God. I love the contrasts in this album and choosing one song doesn't work because I love the ones sung by Jarboe and Gira. Could go with the title track, or "Sex...". but "In My Garden" is what I feel at this moment.

Talk Talk: I got into this band after joining PA. It actually took a while for me to ally appreciate it, but especially over the last few years I have been loving Talk Talk (some of the enthusiasm of others might have rubbed off). As my 80s choice of album, I will go with Spirit of Eden and the "The Rainbow / Eden / Desire" suite (the A side) as my choice of track.

Thinking Plague: First heard in 2005, like a lot of music in PA. My first album was the very highly rated IN Extremis from 1998, and I did not like it. Still, later on I did get the Early Plague Years compilation, and a fan was born. My favourite is 1989'' In This Life (have seen it listed as 1992 too), and "Lycanthrope" is a fantastic track. If that is not the proper original release date, then I really like Moonsongs too, and love "Warheads" off it. By the way, I have since grown to like more TP music, including 2003's A History of Madness.

This Heat: Deceit is a great album from 1981. But so as not to deceive you, this experimental post punk album will hardly be at all tastes here. But then none of these bands in my list will be to all tastes. "Cenotaph" is my choice of track.

Tuxedomoon: I often have seen this experimental post-punk band compared to The Residents (And I have seen people say that it's the Residents in disguise). I love The Ghost Sonata from 1991, but from the 80s I like Desire and Holy Wars very much. I choose the lower rated (at least at RYM) Holy Wars with "The Waltz" as my pick.

Univers Zero: Some core RIO chamber Prog here. While this band has never meant as much to me as Art Zoyd, it still has been an important band to me. the first three albums mean the most to me (the first two being from the 70s). I go with 1982's Ceux du dehors as my pick with "Dense" as my pick. This was the early favourite from UZ. These days I would be more likely to play the first two.

I've had much interest for the '80s music in the post-'80s, mostly Prog but also non-Prog, and the definitely largest part of my present 
'80s collection are albums I've got into in the post-'80s.
My favourite ones are:

 Agamemnon  (CH)  -  Agamemnon, Part I&II   (1981) 

 Agnus  (ARG)  -  Pinturas Y Expresiones   (1980) 

Asia Minor  (TRK/F)  -  Between Flash And Divine   (1980)   

Bacamarte  (BRA)  -  Depois Do Fim   (1983)

Crimson Glory  (USA)  -  “Crimson Glory”  (1986)

Djam Karet  (USA)  -  Reflections From The Firepool   (1989)

Halloween  (F)  -  Part One  (1988)

Iconoclasta  (Mex)   -  Reminiscencias   (1985)

Los Jaivas (Chile)  -  Alturas de Machu Pichu   (1981)

P.L.J. Band  (Gre)  -  Armageddon   (1982)

Solaris  (HUN)  -  Marsbeli Kronikak   (1984)

Pendragon  (UK)   -  The Jewel   (1985) 

 Bauhaus  (UK)  -  In The Flat Field   (1980)  

Celtic Frost  (CH)  -  “Into The Pandemonium”  (1987)

Cowboy Junkies  (CAN)  -  Whites off Earth Now  (1986)

 Iron Maiden  (UK)  -  Powerslave  (1984)

 Joy Division  (UK)  -  Closer    (1980)

In general and as it can be seen from my list, besides Prog, I've been mostly interested in Metal.

Edit: About Powerslave, I bought it in mid-'80s and listen to it some times in the '80s, but I didn't really get into it until the last 10 years.

Not sure whether my machine has everything in the right year, but if it has I see the following that I hadn't known in the 80s:
Univers Zero, Swans, Ozric Tentacles, Thinking Plague (*), Eskaton (*), Zamla Mammaz Manna (*), Dün (*), Glenn Branca (*), James Blood Ulmer, Oregon, Bubu (*), Uakti, Jorge Reyes (*), Zoviet France, Geinoh Yamashirogumi (*), Art Bears, Present (*), Noir Desir (*).

I already knew in the 80s, didn't really get them then but do now: This Heat, Joy Divison, Siouxsie and the Banshees.

(*) Discoveries through the PA forum.

^ Bubu's Anabelas is 1979. And Art Bears for me too with The World as It Is Today. I meant to have Zamla Mammaz Manna in my list: Familjesprickor is superb. I noticed I missed an n in Glenn. Some other faves in other list not mentioned by me and all discovered post 80s: Bobby Beausoleil, Los Jaivas, Solaris, Bacamarte and Noir Desir which is in two people's lists.

I'm happy to see that ND's presence in my lists over the years have provoked enough curiosity to search and listen, and foremost like.

Not "prog" by any means, but very honest (often near-epic sounding) hard rock matched by excellent lyrics with a social content that apparently has survived singer's Cantat unfortunate dealings with justice.

Of course for the main public, Nwar Dez is mostly a 90's band, but most "real"  fans prefer their early stuff, and they are one of the reasons why I returned to rock music after spending a lot of the 80's foraying into 70's JR/F and 60's jazz.

Hi,

The advantage of having been around Space Pirate Radio was all of these were heard right from the start, and thus, we did not miss a lot of the newer things that came around ... a few show up that I have not heard before, but generally, we covered a lot of these things, right from their very first album. In this list here, Guy show cased all of them completely, with the exception of Laurie Anderson (Guy seems to not have taken up the Beat folks much and LA's literary minded material with Burroughs) ... but all of their first albums were showcased ... TD had been there from the first SPR show. Just as the Cosmic Couriers were and a very complete "Krautrock" bunch, also played from the start. Hard to believe and hear it on some of those early shows but even AD1 got played! (Though that was late 60's stuff).

After the first few shows, btw, SPR became strictly about imports and foreign materials and no American stuff was played for a long time. Nowadays, if there are so many countries in the show that it is almost impossible to keep up and track it!

I guess I never had the chance to think I liked some of it, and not some of the other and then had to check it out again ... I remember them all fondly and have over 300 hours of SPR shows from the 70's and a few from the 80's that show that these things were played ... and how ... !!!

^^ Ken: If you mean the French Zeul/Avant-Prog Noa, then I like that too. I should check out the one from Japan also in PA.

^ Pedro: I'm sure while still a radio listener that I would have loved Space Pirate Radio and that it would have exposed me much earlier to so much music I love now, and had an effect on shaping my tastes at a young/ younger age. I like the playlists Guy still keeps putting out, although I have not been an active listener but I will listen.

Here in Vancouver, BC, the most interesting music for me that was played on the radio was at the local university UBC's radio station. I've been friends with some of the guys who worked with that in the late 80s and 90s. They played lots of alternative/different/out there music. Vancouver was quite a punk town, it is not now the city I grew up in largely as the demographics have changed so radically, and so they did play a lot of art punk. I first heard Pere Ubu there, and Henry Cow with "War". And I did hear a Cardiacs song on it.

Another media station that was very influential on my young tastes (early teen and tween) was the local cable companies TV station (Shaw out of North Vancouver). They played music videos late night that again were quite alternative and sometimes very raunchy. That's where I first heard Laurie Anderson (and then later my English teacher played one of her concerts on VHS in class) and then when I went to visit my brother in Cairns, Australia, he played for me all of Big Science (loved that album then, love it now). He also was big on Kate Bush, and played that, and her too I first got into via music videos. My brother did have big influence on my tastes, he introduced me to Gary Numan when I was a child in the late 70s.

I had heard of, but never actually listened to The Blue Nile until the early 2000's. I've since become a huge fan, although I consider their Peace at Last release to be a Paul Buchanan solo album in all but name.

Yes, I meant the French band. I, too, am not familiar with the band from Japan.
