Concept: your in 1983: What the **** do you listen to?

Ive been in the 1975-1974 for 2 weeks now?

A friend decided to start the same concept and start in 1983, so as much as I enjoyed 1975 and the last few days, Bowi-Low (1977) album, im back to the 80s!

Sounds lke were right in the middle of funk, soul.

Im listening to Little corvette by prince. lovely tune

Ill upgrade my 1983s highlights

It's 1983, I'm 9, and it's Dio's Holy Diver, which I got as a present I asked for. The only other album that's mine (in our vinyl shelves) is ZZ Top's Eliminator.

Since the Accident by Severed Heads is from 83 I believe. I’d be hunting that down.

Listening to the Music the Machines Make is the revolutionary story of electronic pop from 1978 to 1983, a true golden age of British music. This definitive account explores how krautrock, disco, glam rock and punk inspired a new generation to rip up the rulebook and venture toward a new frontier of electronic music - one that laid the foundations for Hip-Hop, house, techno and beyond. Including an extensive collection of archive images throughout, Richard Evans's kaleidoscopic narrative draws on years of research, a plethora of archive press materials and the input of key figures, including Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Erasure), Martyn Ware (The Human League, B.E.F., Heaven 17) and Daniel Miller (The Normal, Mute Records). From the gritty and experimental to the camp and theatrical, this book charts the careers and impact of electronic pop's earliest innovators and luminaries, from Devo, The Normal, Telex and Cabaret Voltaire to Soft Cell, Gary Numan, OMD, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode.

Mingus died in 1979 tho?

A couple of those are a year or two old in 1983 but I’m definitely still listening to them. 
 

this touched me, what a track. 

"

honestly, the album 1999 from prince released in 1982 is such a bizarre encounter at first. but after a few listen, im blown fuckin away

Apart from that, today ive listened to mostly album from 1983: van morrison, van halen lol, the police (lovely), Meat puppets (awesome), tear for fears

I love you too

I think they are at booster 5 now, get booked asap!!!! save us all

1983 was the first record for Metallica, Slayer and Madonna. I think id pick the metallica first album over slayer, even though i prefer slayer generally.

the madonna album is like nothing ive ever heard. Reminds me of Aqua-im a barbie girl, in a barbie world.

Tracks like Holiday are pretty damn amazing: that rythm guitar is hypnotizing to me. i had never truly listened to the track. 

same with lucky star. 

holy shit

that part around 45sec

I'd wait peacefully in a chair until The Smiths came out one year later

grew up listening to the 4 first metallica album

not sure why i stopped. was completely saturated. been coming back the few last months.

I have to say I enjoy your threads, watmmisdead. Threw on some Show No Mercy cuz slayer is so awesome
