I have just re-discovered a lot of music, i used to listen to when i went to school, back in the eighties. Well, some of it was really kitch. (and NOT in a good way) But then again, some of it was actually quite good (Or is it just me?) Anyway... I think most of it is incomparable with today's genres and fashions. It was a product of it's time (For better and for worse) And being me, I would like to present some of my bad? taste to you...
Let's start with this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9Y3m7fisOU It's a bit on the soft side...But I think it's a nice track. Back in '81, I used to listen to bands like Yes (Still do) and was quite familiar with a singer, such as Jon Anderson. So imagine my surprise when i heard this one the first time.
I later came to appreciate the music of Jon & Vangelis. I find it quite beautiful.
And yes... It is the same Vangelis who made the soundtrack for "Blade Runner"!!
