Just thinking a little bit ago how many good tunes there were in the 70s and 80sthat never got popular on the radio. Hoping yall will post your favorite classic deep cuts.
Whatever. My Spotify 80s list is huge, and I love deep cuts. Always willing to add good shit.Oh man. This will be fun. So are we talking album cuts that would have made good singles/radio songs? Or radio songs that should have been bigger?
Will look this week if I have time.You have to sift through a lot of clunkers to find the beauties, but there are some beauties!
Music has that power. There are a few songs that do that to me too.I had a really good friend that passed a number of years ago that was a big Floyd fan like me. He got me hooked on the ELP long version of Fanfare for the Common Man. I have been a little over emotional lately because of things going on, but I almost lost it when it randomly came on this morning when I was going to Lowes.
True but, I think Metromania is pretty good all the way through. In fact I was listening to that a couple of weeks ago.You have to sift through a lot of clunkers to find the beauties, but there are some beauties!
Mom had Trilogy when I was growing up. I still love that album. I found a cheap copy of the first album a few years back. I love it! Take a Pebble.. Hell, yes.Music has that power. There are a few songs that do that to me too.
I have numerous ELP albums. My favorite is Brain Salad Surgery with the HR Geiger cover art.
Oooh, more stuff to discover Nena had the one big hit, but even though I dont speak German, I like some of her other stuff. Until recently, I didnt realize how far Scorpions went back. Their 70s stuff is awesome.In the 80’s, back in college, my roommate and I were obsessed with a blues/rock band called Treat Her Right, specifically the album Tied to the Tracks. One of those great start-to-finish albums. At least for me. I still love pulling that one out every now and then. One of the main guys in the band, Mark Sandman, went on to form Morphine, another great underground band. Unfortunately, he died on stage in Italy at age 47.
Btw, love the kraut-rock suggestions!
