The smiths. Goddamnit, the smiths. On one hand you have Johnny Marr doing something godlike on a Rickenbacker and on the other hand you have fucking Morrisey making me want to grind his smarmy pretentious shit under the biggest, spikiest boot I can fit on the end of my leg :argh!:

Morrisey should have been sewn in a sackful of cats and thrown in the river.

Huh, I always assumed LMNO and I were roughly the same age... I turned nine in 1984, and was listening to... not much really.  Some Cyndi Lauper, Tina Turner, and the Eurythmics.  Also, speaking of Leonard Cohen, his album Various Positions came out in 1984... if you can at all stand him and his voice, I think it's a great album.

I think LMNO is my age, or maybe a couple years younger.

I love Leonard Cohen!

I realize now that I worded that strangely.  I think it's a great album whether you can stand him and his voice or not... but if you can, you may like it too.   :wink:

LMNO has the magical ability to be the same age as anyone who looks or even thinks about.

It's another small part to his spectacular sexual power.

(FTR, Alphapance is actually my age)

For the record, I'm 12. But mom says I'm very mature for my age.

Sorry kids, 1985 will have to wait until Monday.  Shit's been kind of crazy, today.

I just thought of one other group other than the Talking Heads that made the 80s bearable.

Belinda Carlisle/the Go-Gos.

What?  She has an awesome voice.  Fuck you.

When you say things like that, it makes me think you haven't checked the links.

I haven't checked them all, LMNO.  I can't at work, and I don't have much time at home.  I mostly listened to stuff I've never heard before (the Minutemen, etc).

Reading that back, my tone of voice didn't shine through.  I was making a light joke.  There are so many links, if everyone clicked and listened, it would shut down the board. (Bonus question: would anyone notice a difference?).

Anyway, GoGos.  Sure.  But if you go to Belinda's "Heaven", we may have problems.

Everyone bombs now and again.  "Head Over Heels" is one of my guilty pleasures.

"Our Lips Are Sealed" is great. Especially the bridge.
