I own every one of these songs on CD, and I'm now ripping more off my new CD-ROM which has a Digital connector now, and pulling them off this new CDROM (it's a 40/12/40) and MAN, converting CD's to MP3's is very fast.. (I own way too many CD's!)

Here is a list of most of my CD's that I converted to MP3's--so many to list, I just did screenshots lol! Some are very old, some are my Wifes CD songs..

Eep!! Most of these I still listen to!!!

Ooh, good taste [img]smile.gif[/img]

Azure... actually the music you are listening to right now wouldn't exist if it weren't for the eighties. The first black and death metal stems from that period, and some of the goth bands above had their influence on metal as well. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Some of my own 80s favourites: Depeche Mode, Sisters, Fields of the Nephilim, Queensryche, The Mission, Dead Can Dance...[/QUOTE]Ahhh the Nephilim/Nifilim!! Forgot Lydia Lunch!! X/Exene Cervenka/John Doe...

I'm mostly into metal, but one of my other passions is Ska - and of course the 2-tone Ska revival (inspired by Jamaican Ska of the '60s which I also love) happened here in the early 80s.

Bands such as The Specials, The Selecter, The Beat, The Bodysnatchers and Madness became popular, often covering songs recorded by such greats as Prince Buster. Think up-tempo off-beat guitar rhythms and brass, Rude Boys, pork-pie hats, and 'the skank'.

Here are some lyrics:

The Specials -
Too Much Too Young
Jerry Dammers / Lloyd Charmers

You've done too much
much too young
Now you're married with a kid
when you could be having fun with me

oh no, no gimme no more pickni

You've done too much
much too young
Now you're married with a son
when you should be having fun with me

we don't want, we don't want
we don't want no more pickni

Ain't he cute?
No he ain't
He's just another burden
on the welfare state

You've done too much
much too young
Now you're married with a kid
when you could be having fun with me

no gimme,no gimme,no gimme no more pickni

Call me immature
Call me a poser
I'd love to spread manure in your bed of roses
Don't want to be rich
Don't want to be famous
But I'd really hate to have the same name as you
(you silly moo)

You've done too much
much too young
Now you're married with a kid
when you could be having fun with me

gi we de birth control, we no want no pickni

You've done too much
much too young
Now you're chained to the cooker
making currant buns for tea

oh no, no gimme no more pickni

Ain't you heard of the starving millions
Ain't you heard of contraception
Do you really a program of sterilization
Take control of the population boom
It's in your living room
Keep a generation gap
Try wearing a cap
__________________________
The Beat -
Mirror In The Bathroom

Mirror in the bathroom
please talk free
The door is locked
just you and me.
Can I take you to a restaurant
that's got glass tables
You can watch yourself
while you are eating.

Mirror in the barthroom
I just can't stop it,
Every Saturday you see me
window shopping.
Find no interest in the
racks and shelves
Just a thousand reflections
of my own sweet self, self, self...

Mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom
You're my mirror in the bathroom...

Mirror in the bathroom
recompense
For all my crimes
of self defense.
Cures you wisper
make no sense
Drift gently into
mental illness.

Mirror in the bathroom
please talk free
The door is locked
just you and me.
Can I take you to a restaurant
that's got glass tables
You can watch yourself
while you are eating.

Mirror in the bathroom
Mirror in the bathroom...

And of course I liked some other 80s stuff (well late 70s/early 80s) that wasn't metal - especially The Clash, The Jam and The Stranglers.

More lyrics:

The Jam
Going Underground

Some people might say my life is in a rut,
But I'm quite happy with what I got
People might say that I should strive for more,
But I'm so happy I can't see the point

Something's happening here today
A show of strength with your boy's brigade
And I'm so happy and you're so kind
You want more money, of course I don't mind
To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes
And the public gets what the public wants
But I want nothing this society's got

I'm going underground (going underground)
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground (going underground)
Well let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout for tomorrow

Some people might get some pleaseure out of hate
Me, I've enough already on my plate
People might need some tension to relax
Me, I'm too busy dodging between the flak

What you see here is what you get
You've made your bed, you better lie in it
You choose your leaders and place your trust
As their lies wash you down and their promises rust
You'll see kidney machines replaced by rockets and guns
And the public wants what the public gets
But I don't get what this society wants

I'm going underground (going underground)
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound
Going underground (going underground)
Well let the boys all sing and let the boys all shout for tomorrow

We talk and talk until my head explodes
I turn on the news and my body froze
These braying sheep on my TV screen
Make this boy shout, make this boy scream
Going underground, I'm going underground
I'm going underground, I'm going underground

________________________________

The Clash
The Guns of Brixton

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting on death row

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh-oh, the guns of Brixton

The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell

You see, he feels like Ivan
Born under the Brixton sun
His game is called survivn'
At the end of the harder they come

You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brixton sun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-oh, the guns of Brixton

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-oh, the guns of Brixton

Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game is called survivin'
As in heaven as in hell

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh-oh, the guns of Brixton

I'm pretty certain he also wrote "Morning Train".

Prince wrote several songs for other artists during the '80's.

In addition to the songs for Sheena Easton, he also wrote -

Manic Monday by the Bangles
I Feel for You by Chaka Khan (was actually a cover of a song from one of Prince's early albums).

I know he wrote a few more songs that were big hits for other artists, but I'm drawing a mental blank right now.

I knew I was forgetting a well-known one. He also wrote and performed a song entitled Nothing Compares 2 U. Sinead O'Connor did a cover of the song years later.
