Mattmc1973 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Did anyone hear Def Leppard's rendition of The Faces' "Stay With Me" from their recent covers album? Phil Collen does an amazing Rod Stewart impression! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levee Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I'll probably get blasted for this but I liked INXS. Their songs were fun to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzldoc Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Except for Guns n' Roses, all of those bands were formed in the 70s. As for bands actually formed (and/or who first released their first album) in the 80s, my list of favorites would go something like this: R.E.M. U2 10,000 Maniacs The Replacements The Long Ryders Del Fuegos The Radiators<<<<<<<<< Lone Justice Los Lobos David Lindley & El Rayo-X Indigo Girls Uncle Tupelo Drivin' n' Cryin' Guadalcanal Diary Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble Ah, Radiators Local boys are pretty good. Ever hear of Cowboy Mouth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Ah, Radiators Local boys are pretty good. I have Law of the Fish on vinyl but haven't had access to my collection in forever so I finally caved and sought out a used copy online. I still love certain songs on it but some of it hasn't held up so well over the years. They'll be passing through my neck of the woods soon, I'd love to finally make good on seeing them live after all of these years of being a fan. Ever hear of Cowboy Mouth? Yes, I have.

Being aussie, I should like INXS, but the only tunes I can appreciate are Beautiful Girl and Mystify.....the early stuff.....don't dig their later dance stuff!!

dragster Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hey Rob! Just awful what happened at the last place I saw you. When I check back occasionally, it's like a graveyard - with one idiot still ranting to himself there. A disgrace to that band, I would say! Very active forum here - and you don't feel like you have leave just because you think a little different. Be well, and let it all hang out! I know where you're comin' from man.....it's a real pity though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hey dragster, have you heard The Victims (pre- Hodoo Gurus)? I love their "Television Addict"! I guess that's a 70's band though. I've been trying to find a Victims compilation, but they're hard to find (on vinyl). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragster Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 My absolute fave 80s Paisley Underground psychedelic/garage band Eric Stumpo's PLAN 9 (don't get mixed up with the other punk/goth band that goes by the same name!!)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi man....I know Dave Faulkner's Hoodoo Gurus very well (really love 1,000 miles away and Linda Sue Dixon!! ), but I vaguely know the Victims.......did you try googling them?! ...thanx for the heads up!

Rob Yeah, Dave was in Victims as well. Hoodoo Gurus was great too. There's a myspace page for Victims Right Here Listen to Television Addict, I love that song. It's been covered by The Hellacopters, if you've heard of them. Victims is straight "'77 punk", not far from The Damned and Buzzcocks. There are a lot of Austrailan bands that I like, Radio Birdman, Stems, The Master's Apprentices and, of course, Easybeats! I have a 60's comp called "Ugly Things" with a bunch of obscure bands too, really great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilovejimmypage92 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Never a popular choice with the elitists, but Def Leppard is one of my favorite 80's bands. Say what you want, Pyromania and Hysteria are GREAT albums. Def Leppard are awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaztor (slight return) Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 As you can tell, I just might like U2 a little. Hey, early U2 is pretty cool! Their first 4 studio albums (and the live EP) are pretty faultless. They got mega-popular (and more boring) afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
