nice mix in your top 30, great to see the girl bands in their the go gos and the bangles at three man that is a solid album so good, also joan jett cool glam album and los lobos love that band have every album on vinyl or cd, cheers richard
Hi 👋 Richard. I wanted to watch this because its forty years on from the year 1984. I really liked alot of the music coming out of the UK then. I liked Paul Weller and Style Council very much. Having liked the Jam earlier . Paul still records today and is a good singer and songwriter. Have you seen him in concert ?. I bought Echo & the Bunnymens album Ocean Rain. I remember buying it after work and rushing home to play it. I sat by the window of my flat looking out at the wet night and putting the record on and playing it over and over because i liked it so much. Another group i was into at that time is Heaven 17. I had their album the Luxury Gap. Although i think it came out the previous year. I liked the Stranglers song Skin Deep. Their 1970s music is better than what they did in the 1980s in my opinion. I think i saw New Order in concert that year. You have brought back memories for me with this video. I worked for the New Zealand National Film Library that year. I liked Lloyd Cole too that year. I had the album Rattlesnakes. Thanks from Carl.
@CookieMusic43 I would have liked to have seen the Jam. I'm sure they visited NZ sometime. I would like to see Paul Weller in concert. Where are you living Richard ?.
Hi Richard!!! cool list again, you can tell the 80's was a very different decade for music...... never have seeing that Cult album from their goth era, they had some cool songs back then, but as i discover them later i do prefer their "hard rock" sound the most. The Cars were so big in the 80's you can scape from them, lol..... but i like them very much. so cool to see Queen so high in your list a very good and kind of overlooked album from the latest years in their career. Cheers and be well.
Cool stuff Richard. I have the Flying Lizard’s 7” of Money. So bizarrely great. I saw Sparks twice this year. They’re amazing live. Russell’s voice is still phenomenal. Style Council is a bit of hole in my collection. I only have a best of. PS unfortunately the little bit of glare made it difficult for me to identify all of the 7”s behind you. Ocean Rain is a stunner. The original Pretenders band was killer. So sad Chrissy lost half her band in such a short amount of time. Unfortunately I didn’t get to see Mozz’s recent tour. That same week I saw Devo & Kraftwerk. Hope you & yours enjoy your Chrimbo & new year. Cheers…Ben
Tina turner did 4 years a later a live version with Bowie. Tonight on the 1984 album is Bowie solo and a studio version. Or am I wrong? Thanks for the video, Richard.
Yes, Tina did do a live version of Tonight with David Bowie and it's on her live album Live in Europe. She also did a medley with him comprising the Chris Montez song Let's Dance along with Bowie's own song. You would think that the studio version was Bowie on his own but Tina Turner is on it although very buried in the mix. Listen closely and you can hear her.
Great stuff Richard, I'd totally forgotten about The Flying Lizards! I'm still looking for a copy of Riff-Raff. I agree that 'Tonight' is underrated. The one thing I'd take issue with is your description 'I Remember The Sun' as 'OK' as it's one of my favourite XTC songs ever.
Cheers James, I Remember The Sun is one of the better ones. I think many of the XTC albums have gone down a few notches for me as I'm just not really into them at the moment but that will change down the line
Provocative list! And one where I significantly diverge, though there's a lot of choices where I'm the same, like high placings for Pretenders, Los Lobos, Bangles and Buckingham. But at the top of my list would be Thomas Dolby's The Flat Earth and Laurie Anderson's Mister Heartbreak. I got my first CD player in '84 and I also started working in a record store at the end of the year (Tower Records, Washington DC)...so to say life changed for me is an understatement. Plus I was going to clubs for the first time and started DJ'ing as well. Here's what's gnawing at me: The Blue Nile's A Walk Across The Rooftops... what year does that belong to? It was an early CD purchase, I know that was early 85 and I got it as soon as it became available (on import here of course) and I was aware of the vinyl album in 84 as a new release but I didn't realize then that it was actually a re-release and had originally been put out in limited release with a 1983 copyright. Ha, I don't know which year it should belong on a list for me, I kind of hear Jim Kerr's voice in my head switching years up and paraphrasing 82-83-84-85... Regardless, I think I've enjoyed your rundown of 1984 most from all of yours in this series, great stuff!
Cheers Mark, I have made one mistake from this list and that's Van Morrison's A Sense of Wonder. I could have sworn it was from 1984 but I have just found out it's actually January 1985. It's the third time I've made a cock-up with these videos. Aw well, nobody's perfect.
Tonight may be the only Bowie I've never owned (or heard played by another). Being Christmas time of year, I will seek out the Bowie / Crosby duet. One of your commenters mentioned D Henley's album of 84, which I would include in a list of my own.
Hi Richard - My Top 3 of 1984 were Pearl by Brian Eno & Harold Budd , Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole & The Commotions & Let It Be by The Replacements. Simpleminds & Echo & The Bunnymen had strong albums as well & a B-Side by The Smiths How Soon Is Now edged out The Killing Moon for my song of the year. Frankie Say Relax.
Hi David, it is weird that the two B sides (How Soon is Now & Please Please Please...) of the 12" of William are now more well known than the A side itself!
Nice collection. For me 1984 ish is when music starts to be less interesting. Still some goodies from that year. Reckless by Bryan Adams, Perfect Strangers by Deep Purple, 1984 VHalen and FGTH all great. But it also bought us Echo, Whitesnake, Iron Maiden and possibly the best talking heads Lp - Stop Making Sense which is one of my favourites from this year. Cheers Richard, Chris (Vinyl Orchard)
Thanks Chris, Reckless was considered and I agree, Stop Making Sense is the best Talking Heads album but I decided to stay clear of live albums for these lists
A pity Kim Wilde's awesome "Teases & Dares" is not here, clearly the best album of 1984, just like she did with 1982 and 1983 too, and shared 1986 with Duran Duran. You're definitely a Sparks fan it appears, so the fact it here (slightly) makes up for the fact you don't seem to listen to Kim Wilde at all! This is a crime for anyone, but equally is the possibility that my fave Sparks album of all (until their 2017 and 2020 releases) may not have been released in the UK!? No way, I hope that's SO not so, but even if it disgustingly like that, obviously it still counts, it's a 1984 album. More right for this list than crappy no-Style Council! The title track I absolutely love with 'Kiss Me Quick', with great single 'Pretending To Be Drunk' and 'A Song That Sings Itself' joint, but it's so full of great songs, though I add 'Breaking Out Of Prison' to give it a 10th (they waste space with 2 excerpts of an instrumental). I don't know why you feel the rather grating need to 'apologise' for the album's "80s sound". Please, if it sounded 70s or earlier, THEN we'd have a problem! You said this with "Interior Design" also! I don't get it-does that mean all the other albums you feature here DON'T have an 80s sound?! An 80s sound is the best thing, though it clearly does nothing to help rubbish acts like Weller's ones nor Madness, Dexys and the vile Madonna. It doesn't even help out the bland 2nd album by Big Country, which really only has 'Just A Shadow' and 'Flame Of The West' to recommend (the other single choices were bad,, but then even worse was on the album, but it was weirdly supported, mainly cos they were still 'in' as they followed up the debut so quickly, which is why, i think, it suffered, as it hinted at an unwillingness to change their sound, lyrics or direction. But at least their 1986 and 1988 follow-ups were much better (as were the singles), and then they got even better in the 90s and far more lyrically and musically relevant.
@@CookieMusic43 Arr, that's a real pity, as unlike any other woman then, she advanced so brilliantly in the 80s, every album had an entirely different flavour and direction from the one before. Her 3rd album "Catch As Catch Can" is the most criminally underrated record ever (even by herself!) in a world full of criminally underrated records that lauds up absolute garbage and mediocrities all the time. A number of great 80s acts all improved upon a good debut-or matched it, but Kim was one person, who just belted her 1st album into the slipstream with all the followed. Mind you, many hold up 1988's "Close" as her pinnacle-it wasn't, it was excellent, it just wasn't as great as what came before-nor as great as a complete collection of her B-sides/non-album stuff. But 1988's mainstream was pretty hopeless thanks to S/A/W and certain annoying uncreative house records, the year should have been better when horrible hag madonna the vile took it off-apart from more pointless re-releases of old garbage. Of course, 1988 did give it some great albums like any other 80s year, in fact a pretty good result if we ignore the horror of what was happening in the obvious places. 'Til Tuesday's best album "Everything's Different Now" had come out, Bangles's career-best "Everything"-though of course anything released so late in December seems more an album for the year after. Kim Wilde's "Close" of course, Big Country's "Peace In Our Time", Sandra's "Into A Secret Land", Duran Duran's underrated "Big Thing", Aha's 3rd one still good, but weaker than their sophomore feature, Five Star did all right, but Sparks's "Interior Design"-that is one grand record. I'm a big 80s Sparks fan actually-think their strike-rate of quality and creativity was at its best mainly then (though what a grand return to new heights from 2017 onwards!). It seems you're right on there supporting Sparks through most of their 80s year (or any) and that's good, as their support wavers terribly from people. But they're a perfect example of just "cos something sells loads, doesn't mean it's any good". Likewise, if something flops, it doesn't mean it's deserving of such a terrible fate. In fact, seems to me that most of the best records flop or don't sell as well, and most of the undeserving ones get the credit, sales and acclaim. World's unpleasant for sure. Oh well.
Make It Big - Wham!, Reckoning - R.E.M, Powerslave - Iron Maiden, The Age of Consent - Bronski Beat, Don't Break the Oath - Mercyful Fate, A Walk Across the Rooftops - Blue Nile, The Swing - INXS, Treasure - Cocteau Twins, Various Positions - Leonard Cohen.... 1984 was the year ROCK was finally declared terminal - Hair Metal was the symptom, the Duke's contribution is risible and made me emabarrassed to be a fan. Loving the Alien is the only bright spot and that is not saying much.... Live Aid was the funeral and Grunge was the wake. Props for Flying Lizards!!! Sense of Wonder was released in 1985. And, it's pronounced Rambo. Unforgettable Fire and Walk Across the Rooftops are my equal number one.
@@CookieMusic43 Don't sweat it my dear Richard, do yourself a favour and listen to Walk Across the Rooftops, to my mind one of the great albums of the 80s.
Hi Richard, i would have laid down money that Madonna (like a virgin), Prince (purple rain), INXS (the swing) and FGTH (pleasuredome) would have made your list!!!! was kinda hoping i would have seen Nick Cave - "from her to eternity" would at least make an honorable mention (are you even a fan of Mr Cave's work??) - Lloyd
Hi Lloyd, Purple Rain, Pleasuredome and Like A Virgin were all considered but I'm not huge fans of any of them. To be honest, I don't think I have heard a single song by Nick Cave! Shocking, I know! lol
Excellent year for music and also not.such a good year for some artist's some of my top favorites are Roger Hodgson in the eye of the storm, Roger Taylor strange frontier, Tina Turner private dancer, the fixx phantoms, don Henley building the perfect beast, the kinks word of mouth, survivor vital signs, rush grace under pressure, rod Stewart camouflage and Bruce Springsteen born in the USA
Richard, every time you describe an album or a track as “80’s-sounding”, you add a “but…” afterwards like it’s a pejorative term. Some of us LOVE the stereotypical 80s sound! 😄
I don't mind the 80's sound Jimmy and I tend to like it a lot more than I did about 10 to 20 years ago, however those of us that like it tend to be in the minority, especially amongst the prog rock bunch.
I only have a couple from the bottom 20, but most of the top 10. Good choices though i wouldn't place The Smiths at number one. Just listened to it last week. And Steeltown is better than The Crossing. Pasi
Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking by Roger Waters was also a nice piece of doom from our fave anti Israeli (not anti semetic let's make that clear) high horse sitting multimillionaire quasi fascist.
It's Tonight! I'll just pop into the shed and bounce around to that glorious mid 80's sound 🕺
give it the full welly!
Love this! One of my favourite years for sure. Thanks!!"!
