The '80s

The Music Discussion forum has replaced the old Lyrics and Samples forum and the Live Scene and Music Reviews forum. This forum is used to discuss anything relating to Music including Orbital topics, the live scene including Orbital gigs past, present and future. This section is an ideal place to post your live gigs reviews and album / single reviews. This forum can also be used to discuss Orbital lyrics and samples. The website will never disclose or confirm samples for legal reasons - so this is the next best thing.

Rock me Amadeus is the b*ll*x!!

The only other Bootown Rats song I know is Ratrap which i used to love, but surely Monday's would be the most popular?

Oohh what about Pet Shop Boys - It's a sin :D

Thinking about it, Ratrap or Rat Trap probably was late 70's (god- how OLD am I?!)

Ooh Neneh was good. I loved the video to Manchild with that fit bloke in it.

Why hasn't anyone said Rick Astley yet :roll

Paul Hardcastle - 19
Yazz and the Plastic Population - The only way is up
Morris Minor and the majors - Stutter Rap

So many to choose from, dunno why I've chosen these 3, probably because i used to tape the top 40 when I lived abroad and these songs remind me of those tapes.

Oh yeh and Swingout Sister.... Breakout.
