Pete Academy Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Nice choices, Mr Bubinga. The 80s was not my favourite era, what with all the electronic stuff going on, but this shows there were some decent tunes about. Aria SBs were indeed the basses of choice.

Pete Academy Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 BTW, you're looking a lot like Donald Fagen these days. Didn't you look like Me'Shell N last time I saw you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathpanda Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 The 80's was THE year for metal. But for pop.... to me it represents everything bad about the music. Too much synths and poor sounding programmed drums... Nasty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witterth Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Great choices Mr B I love most of those tunes ..... I think the CKTC bass player has passed away, if I remember rightly, so thats well sad cool player though everyone had a short strap/Aria in those days Pre-status!! Mark Kings heyday!!! Pino IS THE MAN inne? and the recording techs for bass seem lost to my ear.....(what..?) good god that sounds FINE!! as for Hucknall... I've met the man, and played ( Very briefly) with him.I found him to be very talented but utter a gobsh*te & twat ( sorry for the language) but its an informed opinion........sue me .....you bugger No Its not cos he dissed my playing btw, he was just a twat. end of.

I was reading about them and it said nothing about Nick Thorpe being dead. It did say the band all got heavy into drugs, especially Nick but nothing about dying from them.

Cat Burrito Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 The 80s was my least favourite decade but like anyone, I'm hard pressed not to find stuff I liked at the time. This made me want to be in a band and launched my love of Fender instruments and custom colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urb Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Two just off the top of my head: 'I Feel For You' - Chaka Khan (I know it was written by Prince) and 'Slave To The Rhythm' by Grace Jones - and while I'm at it - 'Pull Up To The Bumper' by Mz Jones as well M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
