OK, 80'S MUSIC ONLY IN THIS THREAD!
Sure the 80's was horrible. Completely, really, utterly, horrible. Reagan (SPIT!), the beginning of the end of unions, worker's rights, the middle class, the working class, the death of the american dream, the rise of a corporate fascism, the horrible orange thing appearing in the american media for the first time, etc. All it all it was horrible.
But hey, it was the golden age of pen and paper RPG's, the birth of the home computer, the electronic revolution, and or course we had some of the best damn music ever as america fdiddled while it burned. So let's have some 80's music here.

Good topic! The 1980s had great music end to end. This one, I'm Proud To Be An American, came out in 1984, I believe.

Joy Division's Atmosphere, directed by Werner Herzog. This song became a sort of funeral dirge for Ian Curtis, who hanged himself days before the band was to go on tour in the US in 1980 and promote what became its final album Closer. (Named "Closer" as in close to something, it is now called Closer, as in finished, because of the circumstances.)
Moody, haunting song.

(^heh.. these guys weren't on speaking terms not long after this-- Mike bought the rights to a number of Beatles songs without Paul's permission..
MICHAEL JACKSON bought all of the songs in the Northern Songs catalog, that were for sale by 1984. The Northern Songs catalog included publishing rights to the majority of
THE BEATLES songs written by
LENNON and
McCARTNEY.
McCARTNEY had informed
JACKSON of the sale, not realizing
JACKSON would be interested.
McCARTNEY was poorly advised and passed. Yet, he never forgave
MJ who probably out maneuvered him (and willing to pay much more). That portion of
MICHAEL JACKSON's estate is probably the most valuable, and heavily mortgaged...

You are NOT funny. Stick it up your a$$. How old are you? 12? 13? If you're under 18, I can understand and forgive you.
Seriously, you need to stop with your NOT FUNNY "jokes". It's okay if you don't like it, but that song by
COCTEAU TWINS is
GREAT. I "inflicted" nothing on you, but YOU are poison ivy. Annoying, painful, ugly. Your presence here is often an infliction.
YOU are "awful". :thumbdown:
By the way, this MUSIC thread of yours belongs in the ENTERTAINMENT portion of this forum.
Stop treating me with disdain. Now, make nice nice or make the worst enemy you've had on this forum.

No offense bud, but wishing someone to take an elevator ride with horrible "muzac" blaring, and calling a song that someone else enjoys "awful" and a "horrible cacophony" is not necessarily an effective way to get anyone to like you. Everyone has the right to their own opinions, and if you don't like that music, that's fine, but there's no reason to get all insulting about it. And if what you're saying is really supposed to be taken as a joke, then you may need to realize that just about everyone sees your statements as belligerent and insulting, and clearly no one is getting a laugh out of it except you. Just something you may want to consider....
