Any Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Zeppelin fans out there. I'm 26 and sometimes a bit embarrased by my taste in music. I think it's cool but it's not percieved as trendy by Radio 1. I guess the fact people like me r listening to it now must mean it's alright. The 80s was a great decade for music I think.

I think you might have a soul mate in Tony S - he's also stuck in a musical time warp.

You can be my sister/ brother!

I’m crazy about 80’s music! It’s perfectly normal and age has nothing to do with it….I’m 24.

I just love Whitesnake – is this love.

There’s something about the 80’s…the big hair, the quirky clothes….

Ah yes..I was born in '61 so I hit the eighties when I was 19...

Was never a fan of Def Leppard. Zeppelin were actually formed in '68, and with their drummer, John Bonham dying in 1980, I have always considered them a 70's band, at their peak.

Whitesnake...different story.. Dave Coverdale took over the vocals from Ian Gillan in Deep Purple, served his apprenticeship, and formed Whitesnake. Great stuff!..They went a bit glam-rock in the later years, but always went down a storm at the disco!

Here I go again......

I saw Metallica at the new Wembley. Would quite like to see Nickelback or ACDC in summer. Rock on!

Don't be ashamed Newbie82! I'm 22 and i love 60s, 70s and 80s music, including well known rock and the alternative rock/pop music too. And i am not just talking about the well known bands that all the teens apparently 'adore'. Such as Blondie and The Clash.

I got so depressed when I went to watch Blondie live last year and it was packed out with annoying teens who only knew about 3 songs. *shakes fist*

I'm so glad you guys still like this stuff!

Probably the definitive 80's track for me was this...(I was only 19 after all!)

Dailymotion - Duran Duran - Girls On Film ...

Fleeg.

I love Siouxsie and the Banshees

Two of my fave songs: Spellbound and Cascade (live)

Been listening to Fleetwood Mac alot ATM, revision provides for a calmer taste in music methinks.

I revised for my finals listening to "Eagles Live"...worked great as background while the architects and quantity surveyors went nuts in the flat. There were six of us..all blokes..with exams all at different times..we did have two toilets which was a bonus!

The usual really....

I like 1970s Deep Purple; In Rock, Machine Head. Miscellaneous tracks like "Yours is no disgrace" (Yes), ELP's Works vol 1.

Bit sobering to realise that great tracks from the 60s - Beatles, Stones, Zombies, Beach Boys, Motown etc - are now over 40 years old!

I used to belong to a fundraising club that organised concerts for the old 'uns with programmes featuring Glenn Miller etc. People in their mid 60s grew up to the sounds of Elvis, Buddy Holly, Bill Hailey … and Cliff!
