Re: 80s music video of the day
The Human League were indeed ace, but not the Ace Face, that was The Who. My uncle, Ian, who committed suicide back in August 1992, lived for the League, back in the '80's when the comedy series 'Brass was on Channel 4, his bedroom was covered in 12 inches of electronica hung as art, very much like I did with Blue Note and reproductions from West Coasting ten years later.
He also knew every entry in the Guinness Book of Hit Records. He gave me his copy of Stop Making Sense, which he thought was crap but he had paid 74GBP for back in 1983. The rest for me was history, but only after 1988, I had the video, but it didn't make sense till much later.
Anyway, he committed suicide listening to Joy Division, can't stand listening to them, hate everything about them, if he had been listening to this, it would have been very different I think:

Sorry to hear that about your Uncle.
So, in memory of Uncle Ian here's a few from your neck of the woods, well Ok, across the water, but, close enough.
I'm sure Uncle Ian would approve.

Re: 80s music video of the day
Apologise for turning up some corpse's on this topic, exquisite they are not, I forgot to add, my uncle worked on the line at Vauxhall's in Ellesmere Port, not as bad the Hotpoint factory, but that's someone else's living nightmare:

Re: 80s music video of the day
^^Thanks Formby, he wouldn't have approved, that's why the poor hoho committed suicide couldn't enjoy himself, just like his hero Ian Curtis. My uncles claim to fame, if there is one, he died age 27, exactly the same age as Jim Morrisson, Otis Redding, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix.
In the universe I choose to live in, Siegfried Sassoon at that age was still self publishing his poetry in leather bound editions, and spending his days fox hunting and evenings in Mayfair and his club. He never had a full time job until WWI, and then it was as Mad Jack and the first decent chap to rally against the military industrial complex.
There's no accounting for taste and once you join the aristocracy of taste, it all falls into place, just like John Coltrane's soprano. And then you can take anything they throw at you.

Re: 80s music video of the day
and now for something completely different, though I suspect few if any here will get it...
Grateful Dead "Touch of Grey", an anthem of sorts, and also probably the undoing of the entire dead family scene.

Re: 80s music video of the day
killer tunes. Knopfler is my second favorite guitarist.....and The Smiths, oh The Smiths. Pivotal in my musical development, and a band I've been on a kick with recently.
another pivotal band, not just top me, but to music in general:
Kraftwerk-Tour de France
