Oh yes "silk & Steel" that was my 1st ever album I brought (from good old Woolies)MISS T said:My i-pod is chocka blocka full of 80s hits....poptastic tunes mainly....Five Star even make an appearance!!
NKOTB were 90s, I saw them 4 times, twice in one week
Hangin tough was actually released in 1988/89 with step by step being their follow up album in 1990/91 unfortunately I was too young to go to any of their concerts
so I envy you 
Bon Jovi is as heavy as I got haha, still have "Slippery when Wet" on good old cassette (it's mint cause I don;t own a cassette player any longer) but have always kept it as my dad got it me whilst holidaying in America, it's one of my sentimental possessionsTinkerbell said:Now your admitting to yours, mine was Huey Lewis and the News xx but I always liked soft rock (usually those blokes with the big hair !!)
I stand corrected. It was a bloody long time ago that's for sure, I queued from 8am on a Sat morn for the Step by Step album, I remember I was around 17/18 my brother was 2 and he'd sing 'Hangin Tough' all the live long day which was cool until we went into Mikes Records looking for Skid Row albums...then it was very uncool.kez77 said:

I was a big fan of The Cult.
She Sells Sanctuary is a fantastic song.
This is not a love song by Public Image Ltd.
The Specials.
The Beat
UK Subs
Crass
The Adicts
and of course Eighties by Killing Joke.
Not really a great fan of the "80's" as a whole but there were pockets of very interesting stuff amongst the pap.

I still have a copy of the "Mobil Oil Chartfile" in my car.
Three tracks - the same three tracks on each side.
Maaaaan, that had some ace tunes on it! So ace I can't remember what they are.
But then, my car features an Ultravox tape, a ZZ Top tape and a Marillion tape.
People keep telling me about these new kind of "round tapes" that are all shiny - personally, I don't trust them and am considering buying an 8-track player with a cassette adaptor.
But yes, 80s music and all that - marvellous stuff.
