@PhoenixSerenity I saw her in 1986 and it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. She covered I'm Just a Soul Who's Been Misunderstood and the whole place -- 4000 people -- we were all singing along. Unforgettable.
cobalt@PhoenixSerenity I was in the radio business then and our company locally had an FM hard rock station and an AM station for sports, news-talk and country music. Every jock there loved her. I can never forget her version of Time After Time. Haunting.
Bryan (he/him) πΊπΈ π³οΈβπ@PhoenixSerenity I love me some David Bowie, Queen, TOTO.

Irene (she/they, Sir/Mr.)@PhoenixSerenity i know this is technically a Feb 1990 release but it still screams 80s womens empowerment to me, and still hits me right in the feels
Wilson Phillips - Hold On (Official Music Video)
@Irenetherogue One of Mom's fave albums to this day.
somcak@PhoenixSerenity I was a huge Madonna fan! I sang Like a Virgin as a kid without knowing what it was about. 
Bruno Girin
Benjβ§min@PhoenixSerenity I was a big punk fan, mainly Minor Threat and The Ramones. I loved how happy and fun all the Ramones songs sounded.

@scandigonian I saw/met them - after they were heli-dropped into our old growth blockade in the early 90s. They played by the bridge that I eventually got arrested on. I was arrested 12 times during that blockade. It was first time I was ever arrested & detained for multiple acts of civil disobedience.

Holy Cow! That's too cool!
Holy Cow! That's too cool!
@scandigonian It's one of the best concert memories of all time. A few of us were released from detainment in Tofino only 2 days prior.
@scandigonian Robert Kennedy Jr. came by the blockade in a helicopter too. Stayed for several hours, talking to activists, after doing a big speech on the bridge.

Mx. Eddie R@PhoenixSerenity
At the time I was listening to a lot of 70s and contemporary rock, G'n'R and Jethro Tull and Dire Straits.
Now when I reach back to the 80s it's mostly punk.
In between there may have been a tight-pants-and-big-hair metal phase. Maybe.

@brome lots of those on my fave tracks playlist ππβ€οΈ
peter (not the famous one)@PhoenixSerenity Flip a coin for either Simple Minds or The Cure (Fascination Street was a *brilliant* way to end the decade) - although it could be argued that both are 70's bands.
@harmoniousanger Early The Cure sounded so different than the more heavily produced 80s version of them. I loved it all though!
Mike@PhoenixSerenity Lene Lovich, Fugazi, Madonna π€· , Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, it could go on for a decade. INXS, Neneh Cherry...
caitp@PhoenixSerenity there are a lot, but if I keep it to Canadians, maybe Robbie Robertson's ghost dance, or cockburn's lovers in a dangerous time, maybe Rush's Tom Sawyer?
@caitp I liked Grapes of Wrath back then too. Also Gowan & Luba.
@PhoenixSerenity don't think i've ever heard grapes of wrath, guess i was raised on more east coast stuff :D but I'm liking it
@caitp I was a Grapes of Wrath fangirl for over 2 decades π€£
Robot Diver ππ¬οΈππΏπΈπ±π±π±I met them once. They were nice guys
@RobotDiver @caitp One brother was nicer than the other.
@RobotDiver @caitp Tom was nicer. Kevin was more arrogant. Kevin wasn't his blood brother but they were like brothers for a long time. When I saw them at reunion concert here - when they opened for 54-40 - Kevin was so arrogant & had no reason to have that kind of attitude. It was at the Royal Theatre. He was shocked & seemed to not know how to talk to me - 2 hours after concert ended & I'm in same house at private after party. He wasn't too nice to me at venue & I informed Neil about that.
@RobotDiver @caitp
Neil (to Kevin): Que is no fucking groupie. You dumbass. She's better private security than whoever you brought with you from Kelowna!
π€£β€οΈ
Yeah, Tom was really lovely. We played pool with them
@RobotDiver @caitp He is super chill.
The Grapes Of Wrath - Peace Of Mind
Deborah Preuss, pcc π¨π¦@caitp @PhoenixSerenity mmm, that Robbie Robertson album ranks high for me, too.

@PhoenixSerenity
I listened to a variety, Elvis Costello stands out.
Interestingly, the concerts I remember most were the greats I got to see from previous decades:
Miles Davis
Sun Ra
Dave Brubeck
Sun Ra stands out. I saw him at a tiny club in Dayton, Canal Street Tavern. My band played there and the club owner suggested we come see Sun Ra. I had no idea what was going to happen. Life altering.
