You read my mind. I was just thinking the other day this thread was missing some Steely Dan.
I love the Steely Dan - AJA album. But that's 1977.

That is a great album. If we had a 70s thread it would probably be at a 100 pages already. I think r&b,soul,funk, and rock music of 70s were better than 80s. But 80s pop and of course beginning of rap were the defining music of that decade, any thoughts?Quote:

As someone who collects lots of records, I absolutely agree. But the 70's were before my birth date. The 80's were something I grew up on and maybe others here. So it is part of our childhoods.Quote:

Steering this thread back into the 1980's:

Steely Dan are incredible. They burned out making Gaucho in the late 70s/early 80s and sat out the next 2 decades.

Whose song is Allah Sent Me?Quote:

Siedah Garrett:"That video was shot in the basement of Motown Records. I think it cost $11.57 including the electricity! And Dennis was not in his best form. In fact, Dennis was so amped up, the video director between shots, she would come over [with a piece of paper] and she said, “Can you put your gum in…” And Dennis said, “I ain’t got no gum?! I ain’t got no gum! Ain’t no gum in my mouth!” He was just chewing the s**t out of his own tongue. I swear to God… And then, I didn’t know it at the time, but you know, when I turned around with my back to Dennis… I didn’t know that he was humping me behind me?! I had no idea. And when I saw it, I said, “That nasty bastard!”

That's hilarious. He even mentions marriage to this imaginary female. Even watching this video, if you can't see the blatant homosexual vibes he gives off, god help you.Quote:

I remember seeing the whole show on tv as an 8 year old with my parents but hardly knowing / recognizing any of the bands. but I knew this song lol. it was after this show too my parents bought a few Queen compilations, which got CRAZY airplay at Casa Incandenza
btw there's a deluxe 40 year anniversary reissue of the Ultravox album out now : https://www.xsnoize.com/album-review...eluxe-edition/
five discs might be a bit much lol
just heard this on the radio, from the union of perennial virgins that also gifted us with 'I'm gonna be (500 miles)' , 'Let's get married' and 'King of the road'
from their 1987 debut album 'This is the story'
LOL. This guys started making music cause that is the only way they would ever have a chance to get laid. They are beyond cringe.

1980
btw it looks like John Watts and his band are still steadily releasing albums under this moniker and that apparently they are even very good. I might have to check for that
I'm gonna be (500 miles) was played a lot here, but I don't know if I heard any other songs by them. They were listed as one of the most popular scottish groups I saw. lolQuote:

Sort of. This was more than likely at direction of record company executives. If you look into the band history and other music they distanced themselves from this image.Quote:
