Someone started playing True this morning lol. Now I have to make an eighties thread. A much simpler time for me with Saturday morning cartoons

Spandau Ballet - True: http://youtu.be/AR8D2yqgQ1U

I can't fit that many into 1 pole :\

I assume we are voting for which one we like best?

Yes

Phil Collins

This is obviously Depeche Mode. They are talented and still going strong today, the rest are for the most part one hit/album wonders. Guns n Roses and Metallica are a completely different genre.

After seeing Wake me up before you go go video, I was shocked to find out George Michael was gay.

 

[olds]

True is one of my favorite songs.

True is one of my favorite songs.

Want to hold hands and go for a walk while playing it?

 

[feralkid]

That's for the most part completely false.

Agreed 100% (although Duran Duran are still around).

 

[mmntech]

Spandau Ballet
Duran Duran
Tears for Fears
Depeche Mode
Wham
Culture Club
Metallica
Guns n Roses
Bon Jovi

Two of these things are not like the others. Two of these things are not the same.

I chose Tears for Fears based on the one really good album (Songs from the Big Chair). During that time I had a much bigger interest in The Smiths.

 

[ElFenix]

Metallica
Guns n Roses

what is the tour i really wish i'd seen for $500 alex?

 

[JulesMaximus]

This is obviously Depeche Mode. They are talented and still going strong today, the rest are for the most part one hit/album wonders. Guns n Roses and Metallica are a completely different genre.

Tears for Fears was a one hit wonder?

BTW-I voted Tears for Fears simply for Mad World and Change. Those are two of the best songs ever written.

 

[Paladin3]

Wouldn't be ashamed to have any of those on my 80's mix tape. Guns n' Roses Appetite for Destruction is one of the top 5 albums of the 80's, IMHO.

 

[Remobz]

This was difficult. All good bands. I voted for Metallica. Damn I miss the 80's and early 90's now

 

[DaveSimmons]

Tears for Fears for me -- Roland Orzabal kept writing songs I liked into the '90s

Cold (from Elemental, 1993) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnwpXSnWozg

 

[Ricochet]

It's a toss up between Duran Duran and Tears for Fears. Two of my favorite DD songs are actually 90s songs, not 80s. "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by TFF just recently made a resurgence in the movie trailer for Dracula Untold. Of course, "Mad World" from Donnie Darko and Gears of War commercial is also one of my favorite.

 

[Miramonti]

Definitely TFF

 

[alkemyst]

Dead or Alive.

 

[Captante]

Tears for Fears
