There are so many songs from the 80’s that would be in peoples top 10 but this is my favourite from the decade

Never getting tired listening to Golden Brown. I don´t remember when I heard it the first time, but I´m sure it must have been around 82-83, and can´t figure out according to what. Maybe it´s more like... I first heard it much later, after 2000+. If that´s the case, it just reminds me of how bloody good this track is, because it keeps reminding me of the days back then, early 80s around 82-83, a nice time to think of. But still it´s amazing if I didn´t listen to the song some 40yrs ago, how can it remind me of situations from that time.. I love it, always will. I really have only one more song that I never get tired of, also from that decade. Careless Whisper / George Michael. However that song reminds me of some specific things, which Golden Brown doesn´t. Both songs makes me happy and sad at the same time. It´s the memories and the losses during time, that recalls those feelings. The sad ones. That´s what great music does to us..

The modern England of the post-Elizabethan era from the 17th Century onwards was built on expansion and hasn’t been able to learn to survive without it. Its culture is largely a product of that brief period of global economic dominance and one can’t survive without the other. Civilisations fall prey to the dynastic cycle and fail.

Back in the day I had heard "Skin Deep" on the radio and loved the unusual sound of that band. I bought the album "Aural Sculpture" and to this day is one of my favorite records. I also bought the Greatest Hits CD and this is how I discovered all their Hugh Cornwell era music. Sadly, Hugh left the band (a loss from which despite their longevity, they never really recovered), and Dave Greenfield died. Drummer Jet Black is too old to play anymore, and the only resining member in decent shape because nobody can beat him up is French born JJ who hates the English. Hugh' solo career has been less than mediocre, to be frank. It would have been great if they would have reformed. I would have flown to England to see them.

This song is so beautiful no ones noticed the TOTP miming they’re doing

Rip : Brian John Duffy aka Jet Black (26 August 1938 - 6 December 2022) Original drummer & co-founding member 1974 - 2018 ..

A friend copied No More Heroes on cassette. This is what we did years ago, swapping music. I became a big fan. Living in a rural area, we never had the opportunity to see alternative bands. Didn’t have the time or money to travel to big cities.

Kings of key change. Love it.

Here from the 80s, reminded by Snatch in the 00s and then by TUA Season 2

❤where did the time go? At a London gig Jet Black fainted exhausted on stage, looking so young and energetic, and now this 2024 he will be 85, but I still feel like I'm 20. Amazing. Hope he's still loving 🎶 music. I am ❤🎉
