Gems from the 1980's

Love the idea of the thread, and some favourites have been mentioned. Apologies if these (below) have been mentioned before, as I'm in work and can't see what videos have been posted.

Loved these albums, but never heard anything by these artists much beyond these offerings;

The Icicle Works - The Icicle Works
Hipsway - Hipsway,
Latin Quarter - Modern Times
It's Immaterial - Life's Hard and Then You Die

Special mention to Life's Hard and Then You Die which was a brilliant album. Bought it on the basis of the second single released - the brilliant Ed's Funky Diner - which was (outrageously) only a minor hit despite being an NME single of the week in the Summer of 1986!

Great memories!

"Unemployment's rising in the Chigley end of town....."

The Fall - Hit The North

This was on ITV's show The Roxy. Camera man appears to be a fan of Marcia Schofield's keyboard playing!!

Their finest moment ever and in my all time top ten. Lead vocals by bass player Colin Moulding, as he wrote this gem.

Your dead right!
The popular German musical group Rammstein has acknowledged influence by both the aesthetic approach and material of Laibach. When members of Laibach were asked by an interviewer about Rammstein "stealing" from them, they responded that "Laibach does not believe in originality... Therefore, Rammstein could not 'steal' much from us. They simply let themselves get inspired by our work, which is absolutely a legitimate process. We are glad that they made it. In a way, they have proven once again that a good 'copy' can make more money on the market than the 'original'. wiki
