Right you sad sack of fannies.

If you can draq your sorry arses away from 'fucking the person above' and generally 'LOLing' about anything, and often, everything for ten seconds, here's a question.

A post on another thread has reminded me about 80's Pop Sensation 'Imagination' who troubled the mid-levels of the charts a few times in their day.

This triggered an interesting, and shameful, memory.

Involving the style of the day, the 'New Romantic' look if you will.

I for one will 'fess up to 'new romantic' boots, which were de rigour back then, but now frankly would get you lynched on the street today.

This fashion disaster was followed closely by the 'dexys chic' thing, where everyone went about in madly baggy jeans, with elasticated ankles.

So all you back combing, can of hairspray a day, strawberry lip-gloss 80's kids...

...name the style/clothes/look you had then, which made you the epitomy of urban chic.

And confess to the shame you feel about it now.

(which would of course now, get you a deck to yourself on the bus)

p.s - an extra point will be awarded to any sad fucking wanker who was actually clueless enough to buy a Shalamar album.

Other than me.

I think I'm a bit young for this thread, I was only little in the 80s so only cared about when the ice cream van was coming and trying to find a real enchanted wood I did get my first ever calendar though and it was a Wham one. Mother gave me leg warmers but that's all I can think of. And I loved the Equaliser, even as an itty bitty girl, I fancied Edward Woodward

As a 'child of the 70's' the 1980's arrived when I was 20 bringing with it Thatcher, leg warmers, and bubble permed footballers. It is no surprise then that I, along with many of my peers, went back to rediscover, musically at least, the 60's. Something for which I shall always be grateful.

However as the 80's recede into the distant past, I have begun to look on them more fondly. Many of Elvis Costello's and most of the Pretenders big hits came in the 80's. Deacon Blue & Big Country were good bands and despite being a complete twat Prince made some good music especially with The Revolution and Wendy & Lisa in particular.And of course there was the Smiths. Also the 80's saw the emergence of Pino Paladino with Jools Holland, Paul Young, and Go West... still one of the greatest British bass players ever. Sadly it also bought us U2

Also either Shalamar or Shakattak had a song called 'Take That To The Bank' which was a very pleasant pop/disco song. I also quite liked Body Talk by Imagination although both of these were guilty secrets at the time.

I suppose I should admit to wearing dress jackets with jeans and with the sleeves pushed up to the elbows and to wearing proper trousers and leather shoes and no socks. What a cunt!

Oh my life, this is a horrible thing to confess - I saw both Shalamar and Shakatak in concert

In my defence, I had free tickets and they were very good musicians. Honest. I worked in Our Price Records, which says it all to those who remember.

As for my sartorial styling, I had, amongst other extremely camp items of clothing, a pair of 32 pleat tartan bags and a pirate shirt with lace at the throat and sleeves. I think I'm going to be sick now

Denim cutoff worn over the leather biker jacket we presume?

Now would be the time to admit to a 'Rush', 'Genesis' or similar logo on the back...

...we will let any 80's logo slide.

But the Top Hat means you are forever in shame and disgrace.

Queen played Ingliston just outside Edinburgh in 1982.

I was a massive fan. They played 2 dates on consecituve nights. I got tickets and went both nights. Alone. Nobody else was a Queen fan.

This was in the days when Freddy Mercury was straight...

Night 1 - T-shirt, indeterminate. Trousers, bright red canvass jeans, so tight I had to lie on my back to get them on.

Night 2 - Tour T-shirt bought on 1st night. Trousers, (oh fuck WHAT was i thinking). Stretch, black and white Candy stripe trousers. Tight. Tighter than the tightest trousers ever. So tight, you couldnt just see my cock, you could tell what religion i was.

I got 'looks'.

I have always like to dress up. The 80s were brilliant for expression. I wore gothic style clothes, and punky styles I guess. I wanted to look like Siouxsie or Robert Smith from The Cure, I was blonde though, always a downside to the gothic scene.

I was into leather, satin, velvet, lace, buckles, studs and make up, lots of it. I remember having old fashioned bloomers which I wore under a velvet dress, or my nuns habit,which Id wear six inch heels with (I could walk in them then), I painted myself and wore outrageous outfits. I was always into 40 and 50s glamour, even at 18.

I also saw Imagination live in concert lol

"Do I get any points back for saying the fedora had silk scarves hanging down at the back? "

Who were you trying to be Quentin fucking Crisp???

Yes. 10 points for having made it this far through life and managing to live with the knowledge of your previous wardrobe, erm, choices.

"I have always like to dress up. The 80s were brilliant for expression. I wore gothic style clothes, and punky styles I guess. I wanted to look like Siouxsie or Robert Smith from The Cure, I was blonde though, always a downside to the gothic scene.

I was into leather, satin, velvet, lace, buckles, studs and make up, lots of it. I remember having old fashioned bloomers which I wore under a velvet dress, or my nuns habit,which Id wear six inch heels with (I could walk in them then), I painted myself and wore outrageous outfits. I was always into 40 and 50s glamour, even at 18.

I also saw Imagination live in concert lol "

Iconic scores a point for making me consider masturbating as I read her description of her wardrobe.

Okay okay, i'm happy enough to dish it out...best I take my medicine.

Queen played Ingliston just outside Edinburgh in 1982.

I was a massive fan. They played 2 dates on consecituve nights. I got tickets and went both nights. Alone. Nobody else was a Queen fan.

This was in the days when Freddy Mercury was straight...

Night 1 - T-shirt, indeterminate. Trousers, bright red canvass jeans, so tight I had to lie on my back to get them on.

Night 2 - Tour T-shirt bought on 1st night. Trousers, (oh fuck WHAT was i thinking). Stretch, black and white Candy stripe trousers. Tight. Tighter than the tightest trousers ever. So tight, you couldnt just see my cock, you could tell what religion i was.

I got 'looks'.

I thought they were admiring my coolness...

They werent."

Queen gig also, NEC 1984 The Works tour,

red jeans, and teh cut off black the works sweat shirt Brian May had been wearing on Tiswas i think it was that day (had got it through fan club earlier) i was and strill am a big Queen fan

another was Deep Purple, same venue, was wearing a Bullet belt, had to go hand it in at a security desk as was considered a weapon, missed my coach home trying to retrive it, lucky enough someone else from Leeds had the same problem and had room in the car

I honestly cannot remember having one particular style icon, however, I did have spikey hair, wore lots of black eyeliner and multi-colour eye make-up, large baggy fuffle shirts with a loose belt, leggings and ankle boots etc...

1980 - the band I was in did a support tour with a little known rock band, my stag outfit, baseball boots, gold spandex type pants, black t shirt, custom made leather jacket. At that time I had a very full head of hair which was down to the middle of my back.

All this before I discovered fashion

"Punk then softened to New romantic.

Still had the wild hair, funky makeup and odd clothes, I just toned down the attitude.

Then fell in love with Duran Duran and lost all respectability!"

I'm sorry I'm just going to have to correct you here. Punk did NOT soften into New Romantic...it just burnt out which is exactly how it should have been. It's just a shame that Paul Morley

and some of the other pretentious, facile,self-obsessed and superficial wankers at the NME didn't spontaneously combust along with it.

It's probably the case that many if not most of the 'New Romantics' listened to and were were influenced by Punk, but then a lot of punks had been listening to Bowie,Lou Reed and Roxy Music and you could hardly call Bryan Ferry a punk could you ?

I believe that you are confusing the high street fashion in clothes, hair and make-up with a genuine musical movement which I suppose is not surprising given that you are just a girlie...(dons tin hat and walks swiftly to bunker)

Erm, I think the poster meant that their musical & fashion tastes softened from Punk to New Romantic, rather than that being the direction of 'da music'.

Sir,

Whilst Wenchlette is unboubdtadly a highly desirable laydee, she sticks things down mens willies for kicks. So I have no need of her considerable charms. If I ever want a spike down my knob I have an ex-wife much closer to hand who woud happily assist. me.

So, no, it was just a comment on a possible accidental misinterpretation of a comment.

She has a thing for self righteous pricks, so the chances are high we've both had her at some point.

"Don't forget, the 80's also gave is HipHop and house music, and Acid house

Indeed it did, but U2 remain the decade's worst musical crime."

I read firstly your post regarding punk/new romantics and when you accurately described the NME I thought to myself 'ah, a man who knows his stuff."

Then I read the post you made above regarding U2 and thought, "nope, he must have had a flash of inspiration on the other post."

U2 were a breath of fresh air in the early 80s with The Edge superb guitar rifts and Bono's unmistakable vocals. Up until they appeared we'd have one human league after another and it was so fookin BORING or else you had to content yourself with vomit-inducing bilge like PIL, Sex Pistols et al.

U2 gave people like me who didn't identify with the in your face arrogant punk movement, nor with the let's shock everyone with our make up and outfits New Romanticism.

Whilst some of the music of both genres were ok, the scene surrounding them were no-go places to people who didn't embrace either culture with gusto.

A punk gig was a very oppressive and aggressive place to be if you weren't in the thick of it gobbing at the performers or kicking someone's head in, and the New Romantics were snooty fuckers who looked down their powdered noses at the hoi polloi waiting outside The Blitz who didn't make the cut because they weren't outlandish enough.

U2 gave us a place to go where everybody fitted in and the music was amazing. Who can forget the opening piano intro of New Year's Day, or the unfaltering guitar of I Will Follow.

Granted their 90s stuff lost them a lot of their early followers but gained them a lot more from other areas and propelled them into the stratosphere of celebrity.

No, there were considerably more musical crimes committed in the 80s that surpass by miles anything U2 may be guilty of.

Putting U2 to one side for a moment, there is one song from the 80s that instantly grabs my attention, makes my hand reach for the volume and turn it up full and puts a smile in my mind that lasts for 2mins 45s - this one:

Saw teardrop at elland road as a support to queen on the hot space tour, this was the only song they did that got the crowd going.

You forget other bands that did not follow the trend, Sisters of Mercy, Souxsie and the banshees, spear of destiny, theater of hate, the cramps, the meteors, southern death cult.

Yes early U2 were good, but after the Joshua Tree, I don't think they have made anything that you would call great

I went to one - and that was enough for me. Being spat on was not my idea of a 'fun night out'. Where I came from the punk movement gave birth to the skinheads who terrorised our town centre for a good few years.

The only thing punk was created to do was to create chaos out of order, but the best thing to happen to punk was Sid Vicious killing himself, an act that effectively ended the scene completely.

pssst.. if you want true crimes from the 80s, look no further than Musical Youth's Pass The Dutchie or 5 Star's System Addict. bleeeeeurgh!

I refer you to Malcolm McLaren's mission statement: "Be childish. Be irresponsible. Be disrespectful. Be everything this society hates." He later admitted that his other manifesto had been "cash from chaos," as reflected in his monologue on The Great Rock & Roll Swindle.

I may not have liked the punk movement very much but as a teenager living through those times it was impossible to ignore it. I enjoyed the music but abhorred the violence, lewdness and two fingers to society it represented.

To be fair, the point isn't deserved because we were a poor family and my clothes were 70s throwbacks (I didn't change much in size from my early teens to my late teens so all my old clothes still fitted) - it was only the onset of lagerhood that I started to grow and needed new clothes.

I was into Ska in the late 70s - early 80s and had all the clobber to go with it. Two-tone trousers, yellow or white Fred Perry shirt, braces (red with white F/Perry shirt or black with yellow F/Perry shirt). I had Jam shoes (black with white uppers), and the compulsory pencil tie/white shirt with tiny collars combo for Special occasions. Never wore a Trilby though as I've never been a hat person, plus it fucked up my hairstyle.

Saw Madness, Selector, The Beat (5 times), The Specials (twice), Bad Manners. Had my first black girlfriend around that time as it reflected the two-tone theme perfectly (she agreed to go out with me on that same basis).

I was 10 in 1980, so entered the decade wearing rara skirts but liking ska music (huh?)

First gig was The Thompson Twins - I wore a full pleated skirt, a candy striped tshirt, black tights with white fishnet ankle socks (lace tops) and granny boots!!

Mid 80s saw me liking Echo & the Bunnymen, Japan, Lloyd Cole & the Commotions, The SMiths, The Waterboys, David Sylvian Wore 3/4 tight paisley jeans, or full length jeans that had been taken in so much you had to sew your ankles back in, never wore a bra , lots of backless tops (v tucked into jeans), big shirts (usually striped or big loud checks) with big wide belts on my hips. Summer saw me in teeny skirts with teeny tiny tops (still braless). Hair had so much elnett on that you could lift my whole fringe up by a strand. Oh - and I remember wearing fuchsia and electric blue eyeshadow with electric blue mascara.

You've won a point for being our first our first 'Dexys' admittee.

Though I'm still convinced there are more dungaree wearers on here than are admitting it.

And from the sound of it, you could have done a reasonable 'Bananarama' too.

We were right at the front of the stage when we went to see Imagination. In those days you could get right up close. We would put our hands up and the band would be total gits and run up and down that front row offering their hands, whilst we would try and get a peek at their cocks through the see thru trousers they would wear. We liked Leee John and the guy with the dreadlocks, but the drummer, he was the least popular and he was putting his hands out to the crowd and noone really bothered touching him. Oh those were the days.
