Why do I suddenly crave orange juice?

Because of complicated and meaningful reasons.

Always! I'm a complicated and meaningful person. I'm never subject to subliminal queues. Wanna kumquat?

Thank you... Should have realized that was a Welsh.

Post by: Kugai on 31 Jan 2015, 20:33: You'll find my taste in music is rather eclectic for someone who was born in the '60's and lived through the hell of the Disco Era in the '70's.

Post by: Mr. Black Licorice on 01 Feb 2015, 02:18: My father was a guitarist, and loved to play "Classic Rock" back when it was just call Rock. So I grew up with 60s, 70s, and early 80s rock... he never liked my music though... It wasn't for lack of trying. :-D

Post by: jwhouk on 01 Feb 2015, 05:40: There is some 80's music that even I don't understand why it was popular.

A certain Boy named George (and another George named Michael) are proof of this.

Boy George was popular because he sung the type of music that all the teen girls were into at the time. I'm pretty sure if they understood cross dressing wasn't just a gimmick for him that they wouldn't have been as enthusiastic.

George Michael (with Madonna) fundamentally changed how we talk about sex in the US. His music seems quaint now, but it could be argued that without him, Katy Perry wouldn't be singing about seeing Peacocks. I have a good deal of respect for him...

But if I were to choose, I would say that Depeche Mode had the most influence on modern music of anyone from the 80's. Before they came around, using electronic keyboards and computers to make music wasn't treated seriously.

That's all in my highly bias opinion of course... 8-)

Post by: Mr. Black Licorice on 01 Feb 2015, 12:51: I'm probably going to regret arguing this but...
While it is clear that Ultravox came first, I stand by my original statement. Ultravox was not treated as seriously as Depeche Mode. They floundered while DM flourished.

And now I wait, as I will inevitably be given proof to the contrary.
