willywoody Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 pick up the children of nuggets box. tons of singles from great bands on that compilation and will provide you with a great resource to hear what you like and then delve deeper. some of my favorites on their are the long ryders, the three o'clock, chesterfield kings, cramps, smithereens, and fuzztones off the top of my head.

evol79 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Get Sonic Youth's discography.I agree, but since that alone is a HUGE task, you can't go wrong by starting with Daydream Nation. THe perfect mix of 80's style SY mixed with the 90's era sound. Their Magnum Opus in my (and about a million others') opinion! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nettles Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Some 80's records I have and listen to Dylan- SHot Of Love, Infidels George- Cloud nine, Somewhere In England, Gonne Troppo ELO- Time INXS- Kick, Listen like thieves Madonna - like a virgin Micheal Jackson- off the wall, Thriller David Bowie-Let's Dance Duran Duran- Rio The Clash- Sandinista, Combat Rock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I recently found a vinyl copy of this..I had been looking for one for years...I had many of the other Jam albums but was missing this one. Lots of great stuff in the 80s.....alot of what was then called "alternative" but is now called indie. It was hardly a bad decade at all... LouieB Did your vinyl come with the 7" "Bonus tracks"?I have a vinyl copy as well, and it did. Too bad it's in storage in my crawlspace with the rest of my vinyl that I can't listen to since my (then) 2-year-old blew out my stereo which I haven't been able to replace yet because I have no money because I've been spending it all on words for run-on sentences like this one.
