The Cure - Boys Don't Cry
The Cure - Friday I'm In Love
The Cure - Just Like Heaven
Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus
Anything by KMFDM
Anything by The Smiths/Morrisey

OK, this is what I listened to in the 1980s. This is why I'm fucked up beyond belief.


when you were a toddler???? :wtf:

i was watching i love the 80's the other day and they were showing clips from the cure videos...wow...every single one of those guys looked like edward scissorhands :lol:


My Uncle Paul listened to some crazy shit when I was young. He would always have me listen to some crazy shit. Then he gave me all of his KMFDM and Smiths cds a LONG time ago. He made me crazy and emo at the same time. Damn him.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Who are KMFDM?
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

wasn't that Einst-zende Neubauten? I didn't know KMFDM was German or Industrial. Then again I only heard one or two songs. Now Industrial Music(80's) that was some sick stuff. I remember hearing abunch of those bands and actually liking them. It was weird cause some would use power tools and such for sound. OH MY, I forgot about those aritst.

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

All the best songs from The Cars came out in 1978/79, But R.E.M. made up some good stuff, so did The Clash like "Rock the Casbah" and don't forget U2!
