My band were Echo and the Bunnymen. Grew out of it but I have to say I now feel they've stood the test of time.

I'm slightly embarrassed by it now, but early/mid-80s U2 were my thing.

I remember seeing Under a Blood Red Sky: Live From Red Rocks on The Tube and thought it was amazing!

Find them pretty much unlistentoable nowadays.

I’m with you there! I liked them until Rattle and Hum but after that I’ve not enjoyed what they’ve done. Plus Bono has become a sanctimonious twat!

Anything by Howard Jones.

Adored my big brother and Saturday afternoon I'd set up camp in his room, curl up with my book while he pottered and we'd listen to Howard Jones.

Simple Minds - Don't you (forget about me) a lad would always play this for me, he fancied me, it wasn't reciprocated.

George Michael - Careless Whisper. First kiss at a disco.

Queen - Bohemiam Rhapsody. I'd bought this single as a christmas present for my other brother. He recently admitted what it meant to him at the time, he still has it as well, we both cried when he showed me.

Michael Jackson - Thriller, sleepover with friends, we perfected the dance that night.

There and to the left a bit

Whilst there's an element of rose tinted glasses about the music of the 80s (Japanese Boy, One Day At A Time, No-one Quite Like Grandma, Day Trip To Bangor, pretty much the whole SAW catalogue and more tend to get forgotten and brushed under the carpet) the early 80s was where my musical tastes were forged and many of them still feature in my listening today - to name but a few...

Madness

The Jam

The Specials

Dexys

The Beat

Prefab Sprout

The Housemartins

ABC

The Cure

The Clash

This has made me go back and think about what I use to listen to which is great. Mid 80s is when I got into a lot of reggae which I don’t listen to anymore. A club in Newcastle would regularly have live music. Asward, Black Uhuru, I particularly remember seeing there.

Yellow man

General Saint and Clint Eastwood

Eek a Mouse

Oh I’m gonna have a lovely chilled morning now

Madness & Wham two of my favourite groups Michael Jackson’s Thriller video and Frankie goes to Holloywood the lyrics to Relax and the video to two tribes go to war and all the controversy that they caused quite tame to what I see and hear about on today’s music

There was some good music tracks in the 80s even at the teenage youth club we had around that time.

Hardly listen to those music nowadays but I have them in my collection.

Remember the music but it meant nothing as I was and still am a northern soul boy.

Had a very horny gf who loved boy George so that still brings a smile to my face when I hear a couple of his songs
