A Song Track from our Youth

[Imurg]

1981, the first band I saw live..

Blackfoot and this is one of their best.
Still one of my favourites.

but then realising that pop music was pants and real girls listened to rock.

Also seeing jimmy Barnes at the Newcastle City Hall, me and a mate were going to a stag do afterwards, so were both dressed as Gorillas, Jimmy walked on stage, the house lights came up so he could see the crowd and he did a massive double take as he saw two gorillas 4 rows from the stage dancing away.

[HomerJSimpson]

Kayleigh and Sultans of Swing both have connections to good times in my teenage adolescent years

 

[richart]

Horse with no name, America.

 

[Liverbirdie]

"We are the champions" by Queen - it seemed we sang it every May in those days.

I've forgotten the words now...

I was 18 in 1988 so all I can remember was crap rave/house music. These were a light in the gloom though:-

1976, at uni playing pool till silly o'clock whilst quaffing the odd glass of Theakston's Old Peculiar

Great song.... One of the best cover versions!

 

[Khamelion]

Ahh yes how could I forget

[video=youtube;CzB5hFINC_k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzB5hFINC_k&feature=player_detailpage[/video]

Went to visit an ex girlfriend down in London, only meant to stay the weekend, stayed the week, good times

 

[richart]

Great song.... One of the best cover versions!

Manfred Mann were one of the few bands that could improve on the original song. My favourite track was For You.

 

[NigeD]

Happy Hour by the house martins. Went and saw them at Kilburn Ballroom, supported by the Proclaimers, what a night!

 

[Slime]

Anything by Humble Pie, especially their cover of Honky Tonk Woman.
There must be something about Steve Marriott, what a legend.

[wrighty1874]

No More Heroes by the Stranglers. I was 18 and the music fom 77 - 83 was awesome imo.

 

[evahakool]

All right now by Free brings back good memories for me,first single I brought.

Saw them last week at the Camden Roundhouse. Absolutely amazing.

Was looking at this thread the other day and wondering what I might go for, what age is youth and all that. Genuinely surprised to see that one come up! Remember it well and some others from the album.
I guess James we must be of similar ages.
The clips are from a couple of films out around the same time. I usually have a different recollection to "80s music" than most!

Discovered golf a few years later - a different set of techniques to (try to) learn!
May have to start planning that trip to Gatwick area...
