It’s interesting how these underground punk and then post punk bands crossed over into the mainstream, and we are better off for it. Although I know some fans felt certain bands sold out over timeChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-27461541796240742372015-12-10T05:21:55.524-08:002015-12-10T05:21:55.524-08:00Interesting blog, Chris.

I don't listen to much 80s stuff now, but I was in my late teens/twenties during that rather schizophrenic decade, and spent some of those years working in a record shop, so a lot here is very resonant. I was very much into Japan, Joy Division and Cure for a while - it all seemed to be a natural progression from punk.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02423624920558505937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-70106077680333461752015-12-04T02:13:01.636-08:002015-12-04T02:13:01.636-08:00@thevoidd99: Glad you are a fan of the music!

For this 80s project, I’m including lesser known artists like Japan or John Cougar(last week), so even readers who are familiar with the 80s might discover hidden gems.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-35285648945210116272015-12-03T17:59:55.832-08:002015-12-03T17:59:55.832-08:00With the exception of Japan as I still haven't...With the exception of Japan as I still haven't heard any of their stuff, the rest I totally recommend. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
