Free Music Review: The Good Stuff from The 80's
Hit: 5 Stars
To me this is the good stuff from the 80's, not the stuff you would hear on the radio day after day on hit radio, not the weekend special 80's programming that plays that one song by the top 40 bands of the 80's...this is the real 80's that we missed due to being young and impressionable, and oversaturated with contemporary pop and alternative music of the day. I do remember a show called 120 Minutes (on Mtv) that might have played this very late at night though, and it was the most intriguing interesting music for many people they would hear, and it came in such small doses, it was like just a small portion when we were starving for something substantial.
I admit to being a big Duranny back in the day, and even today, and did have my favorite new wave songs and top 40 songs, but to me just as important was the cutting edge of the 80's scene in all genre's of music, today more than ever it is quite clear as to what won out, in the long run you have to look around for the really good stuff, you would have to go to a cutting edge club somewhere, or a friends house back in the day, purchase at an out of the way record store if you were to hear such classic music from an exciting time.
Songs to Learn and Sing Poster
Modern rock superstars Echo & The Bunnymen originally formed in Liverpool in 1978, comprised of Ian McCulloch (vocals), Will Sergeant (guitars), Les Pattinson (bass), and Pete de Freitas (drums). Key figures in the thriving club scene that planted the city on the pop music map again for the first time since the Beatles hey day, the Bunnymen went on to become one of the most influential British bands of the last three decades. This 11-song collection contains some of their greatest hits including 'Rescue', 'Do It Clean', and 'The Killing Moon.'Songs to Learn and Sing is a staple in the collection of post-new-wave rock. It was an era when the term progressive had just replaced the word alternative to describe music that was just too cool for American radio. This album is a compilation of Echo and the Bunnymen's British chart toppers from 1980 to 1985. The only song on this album that received attention beyond the band's cult following was "Bring on the Dancing Horses," made famous by its inclusion in the Pretty in Pink soundtrack. Echo and the Bunnymen are a tinny, twangy, ever-so-slightly-out-of-tune guitar band. What lead singer Ian McCulloch lacked in vocal range he made up for by embracing his comfort zone with full-force cracking, emotional yelps. A distinctive, recognizable sound, even to the barely initiated, this album marks an era yet is so enjoyable, it remains proudly timeless. --Beth Bessmer
