this will not be beaten its beyond diabolical. ridiculous lyrics, devoid of melody, band image and attire only enhances the sheer crassness of the 'song ' . makes any thomson twins song sound like wichita lineman.

Is this a "betting without" Shadda Up You Face by Joe Dolce market?
Incredibly that song kept 'Vienna' by Ultravox from being #1 in the U.K. charts. The mind boggles as that was a rather brilliant song. |

morpteh makem,
You Sir are a fraud and scoundrel if you think that was the worst record of the Eighties! I call you a charlatan Sir! I bet you were not even a baby boomer, I very much doubt you were even born in the 70's and think it most unlikely you were born in the eighties! I think you might be a millenial Sir! You have no idea of the brilliance of our music or the sheer diabolique! Have you even heard of Stock, Aitken and Waterman? One of them even makes videos about steam trains and they were better than his songs! |
|
By:
Talking of Stock,Aitken and Waterman,a song from 1989 by The Reynolds Girls called 'I'd rather Jack',would be my choice for one of the worst songs from the 80's.

We has a paedo youtube hour on the work van the other day
Rolf Harris, Gary Glitter, Michael Jackson, Jerry Lee Lewis to name a few. Not a bad hour really. There were some crimes against humanity in the 80's though. Stuff I could not put up on here for fear of some of you saying that I bought the records! |

I went Country on the bus with youtube today!
Johhny Cash, The Charlie Daniels Band and then Duelling Banjo's from Deliverance. Then it really went interesting with ACDC's Thunderstruck being played on the Banjo and spoons! |

Sticking to the reflex theme, The Reflex by Duran Duran was pretty dire. It had it all, pretentious lyrics, awful synth drumming, jarring transitions and overuse of vocal looping effects.
|
|
By:
Duran Duran were absolutely dire full stop. All if their songs were complete and utter dross.
|
|
By:
I would rather listen to that again than Bucks Fizz or the dreadful Nick Heyward.
|
|
By:
Their debut album was ok-ish as far as I remember slippy.
|
|
By:
thread made me look at some of the old 80s stuff, i've sort of blocked it all out and it was filed under shoite, but just listened to in between days, how soon is now and johnny come home and there are glimmers of brilliance in amongst the sea of cr@p

By:
Any band named after the baddie in Barbarella, (the delightful Jane Fonda, can't be all bads. At the time the Duran Duran videos were among the most expensive made and wre always over the top. They had to shift loadsarecords just to pay for the videos. My 2 fave Duran tunes were Hungry Like the wolf and the lesser known Come Undone.

If we want some further examples of sheer 80s awfulness, how about "Living In A Box" by Living In A Box, and one out of left-field, the appalling 'Good Technology' by Red Guitars.
The Yanks contributed much in the way of rubbish pop music in the 80s, spearheaded by Rockwell's "Someone's Watching Me". Living In A Box . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svVaEWQaoSo Gpod Technology . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs0OkiCZNRI&spfreload=10 Rockwell . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YvAYIJSSZY |

Whatever happened to the former great white funk hopes of the 80s, Young Slicey and The Slicerettes? They had a bit of an axe hero out front.
Saw them 'live' once. People stared at the make-up on his face, laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace. I cried sadly for a love I could not obey. |

MC Miker G & DJ Sven anyone...???

Can't agree re Nick Heyward. Wrote some great pop songs and his new album is excellent. |
|
By:
Me too Coachbuster, I saw pretty much every band live in the 80's. I would back myself in an 80's pop quiz against anyone!
As regards to Nick Heyward, I agree with Cliftonhill most definitely. |

By:
yay ! ... we used to have some great music quizzes on here Slippers back in the day .
