I remember when 5 Star were on Saturday Superstore with Sarah Greene when this kid rang in and live on air called them some very naughty names. They cut him off but not before he'd got a few curses out. I howled my head off at that one too.

Just thought of someone else I used to listen to constantly in the early 80s.........a band called Little Sister (which no-one else will ever have heard of LOL)
Who remembers that song 'Count Me Out' by the Foster Brothers in erm............. 1977? Well Graham Foster was in Little Sister.
*end of useless facts for today* (possibly....... ;D)

That 5 star thing is legendary!!! Didn't it happen to Matt Bianco as well. Somebody called them Wankers live on air. It was very amusing. I was listening to stuff like Madness, Bad Manners, Secret Affair, The Lambretta's, Fun Boy Three until my Dad gave me a tape with the Scorpions on one side, and Budgie on the other. The rest is history

thought i`d better chip in , i absolutely hated ALL of the 80`s mainstream crap & never listened to any of it by choice , i got into music in the early 70`s when i first heard Mott The Hoople in 1973 when i was a little 10yr old & things just progressed from there , so many classic albums were coming out in the middle to late 70`s the electronic pop pap of the 80`s just couldn`t compete with Albums like Boston - Boston, Eagles - Hotel California, Joe Walsh - You Can`t Argue With A Sick Mind , Lynyrd Skynyrd - One More From The Road, this list is endless, other than that i`m a major Elvis fan in all his forms even the Vegas era

For me the 80s (well for as long as I can care to remember) are a nostalgic era mostly thanks to what my folks listened to and also what I can remember first hand.
Hall & Oates Human league Wham Robert Palmer ABC Colin James Duran Duran Imagination
Deep Purple Gary Moore Argent
List could go on, fact is you cannot judge musical taste if you are believer that the love of music is based on nostalgia and experience rather than critical analysis.
Four Pints Fletch (last minute reunion...thank God it's Sunday....hang on......)

Hmm, Loads of stuff, but I really liked Giorgio Moroder at the time. I was into instrumental synth rock in the early/mid 80s, and I loved Richie Zito's guitar solo's (I hear he has a solo album due out this year).

Not as much as the rest of you from the looks of it. My sister playing Stock Aitken & Waterman crap was about it
Hail true metal and all that jazz

Alphaville - Big In Japan sigue sigue sputnik - lesson to be learnt here - if you get famous you have to shag Janet Street Porter - (suddenly I feel unwell) and yeah Slop, Faking and Watered down - every hit they made had the same beat. Bros, Milli Vanilli, Rick Ghastly, Jive Bunny and Russ Abbott - its no wonder rock had a renaissance during the 80s is it when you see some of the dross that was regurgitated into the charts. And to add insult to us rock fans, Run DMC come out with their version of Walk This Way.... Sorry that just bites wind, give me the original Aerosmith ONLY version everytime.

My sister played a tape in the car recently with Dead Or Alive's 'You Spin Me Round' on, to show my niece what Pete Burns used to do before he was in Celebrity Big Brother! In the 80's she also liked A-Ha, Madness, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Erasure. I liked the Cocteau Twins, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Rush, and was just getting into Anthony Phillips' solo work.

trivia fact - The Cocteau Twins were students at Hull University..... something else to incriminate the city with the music police there then
