new old music.

who are your favourite bands from 1970-1990 please and pick one best album from each band chosen. i needz new muzik.



  • You'll have to narrow it down a bit...

    Maybe just pick one year?

    • nah, too specialist.

      i just want your favourite pre 90s bands, and an album to get hold of please :)

  • Jimi Hendrix

    Electric Ladyland or Axis Bold As Love
    I would maybe lean more towards Axis this evening but I love all his stuff.

  • Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance

  • just one :

    Taxi Girl - seppuku

  • Old music sucks balls.

    • Definitely:

      Queen

      • i hate queen,

        queen is not all old music. seriously, if you say "all old music is rubbish" you have only obviously listened to rubbish. music from this era still inspires new bands, everything you like now was probably heavily influenced by bands older than you, from indie, pop, garage rock, punk and more. my 2nd favourite band of all time is an 80s band. and no, it isn't queen.

    • you don't know what you're talking about.
