80's Rule: New Wave, Punk, Goth, Industrial, Indie.

[Ricky Babalu]

Probably my favorite decade of music. So many bands, songs that influenced me growing up in Southern California. I was lucky to see many bands in my youth because of my location. To this day I am actively seeing bands that I missed during my early years (recently saw an X concert). Post your favorite song or band from the 80's.

Post just one? That's impossible. There was too much great stuff!

My two favourite songs of all time

Burning Inside by Ministry

Junkdrome by Front 242 - You need to get about 2m 20s in before it starts to kick off properly. Intro is long but quite ambient.

I have seen X so many times, I lost count. I try to see them whenever they play locally.

Does the OC stand for Orange County? If so, finally someone from my neck of the woods!! Sadly I do not have a copy of DWC

Just got 4 tickets to see "The Cult" @ House of Blues in Anaheim Ian is the man.
