Off-Topic: Obscure (and other) 80s Music

in General Discussions

This post grew out of the topic, "What Do You do When You First Got To Wildwood?" Ad I didn't want to derail that topic, so I'm starting a new post here. One of the members asked for a few examples, and I provided this quote:


"And I mean, OBSCURE:

The Act: Snobbery and Decay (1988)

Shriekback: Everything That Rises (1985)

Mekanik Kommando: Stop & Play (1982)

Los Microwaves: What's That Got To Do With Loving You? (1980)

The Nobodys: I Scratch (1985)

Xex: Fashion Hurts (1980) One of New Jersey's new wave bands

Smersh: She is Nervous (1981, IIRC) Another New Jersey 1980s band

Glass Museum: Dumping Cart motion (1984)

Planning By Numbers: Living Neon (1982)"


I also added, [quote]

I know YouTube is a mecca for song piracy, but there may be songs here that are so obscure tat they're not even there! If you find this interesting, I can post more songs if you think these are intriguing, and maybe form another thread so this topic doesn't get derailed."[/quote]

Awesome! I don't know how much is on YT, because some is very obscure. Also, I love this:

Cee Farrow: Wildlife Romance (1983). This one is always on my playlists! I also like Synthicide by SSQ, which is Stacey Q before "Two of Hearts" (1986).

I'm gonna look some of these up tomorrow. Always down for some "new" music to hear. Specially older stuff I've never heard of.
