Decade Duran
‘Retro’ seems to be the buzz word at the moment. Everyone seems to be interested in something that was popular ‘back in the day…’
It has been said that the 80’s was a decade of tasteless music, fashion and greed but the music from this era has seen a big comeback. During 2009 there are 82 bands from the 80’s touring. Not just in the UK either. It seems that the Germans’, the Japanese and the Americans all want to remember the good old days…Or listen to ‘Old School Music’.
For those who were around during the eighties, it is a chance to reignite the age old argument, who was the better of the ‘Power Dressing’ bands,  Duran Duran or Spandau Ballet?  Thankfully these two bands don’t seem to take themselves too seriously the second time around, which is just as well when you see how they have ‘grown’. It wouldn’t be a pretty sight if they were still wearing the same suits or hairstyles of 30 years ago!!
Then there are the New Romantic bands. They celebrated glamour following the drabness of the punk scene but how ridiculous would they look now in their frilly shirts and big hair?
Then of course there were the girls, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Sheena Easton and Bananarama. How would they look these days, with their big teased hair, vivid make up and leggings or Ra-ra skirts?
Maybe that’s why the music from the 80’s has seen such a big comeback during these difficult times. It gives some a chance to reminisce and others a chance to enjoy or maybe laugh at what people ‘back in the day’ used to listen to.
Many people enjoy making memorabilia collections including 80’s Popstar autographs, photos, and albums to hold onto the memories of ‘Old School Music’.

Decade $4.61 Decade is a greatest hits album containing singles recorded between 1981 and 1989 ranging from “Planet Earth” to “Notorious.” This CD provides any Durannie a chance to reflect on the transgression the group had made from the stark pop of “Girls on Film” to the New Romantic chariot “Save a Prayer” and finally to the dismal Brit funk embarrassment “All She Wants Is.” The album could have been strong… |

Another Lost Decade: The 80s Romance $2.13 Rock-Pop stars of the ’80s often sang of love, both the euphoric and the heartbreaking, and these artists bridged the gap between punk’s passion and disco’s danceability to create a fresh sound for the decade that could have only been the ’80s. For those people who were hitting the clubs, dancing through the decade and getting their video-of-the-moment fix on trendy MTV, The ’80s Romance is a must… |
