The 80s was the greatest decade ever

The quintessential 80's song.

One of the all time best videos from the 80's.
Jools Holland was a new wave driving force (still is)
Very sexy video IMO

Great band. I nearly posted this one from 1983 earlier but I forgot to.

**stevenash** · 08-14-23, 10:18 AM

New Order is another major influence of The Killers.

**JIBBBY** · 08-14-23, 02:47 PM

New Order was a really good 80's band. I agree!

SBR poster Ronald just sent me a PM and requested "I'm still standing" by Elton John...IMO, I think he wanted to see the men wearing the skin tight speedos that are 3 sizes too small! Hey I aim to please! Don't shoot the messenger!....pause @ 1:04!...nice upskirt!...hairy female pubes peeking out!

**JohnGalt2341** · 08-14-23, 06:53 PM

An under appreciated song from 1988.

My guess is, baby girls born in the U.S. when this song came out, were American Women by the late 1980's.

That's awesome! The Pixies are one of my favorite bands. This song gained a lot of popularity after Fight Club came out because they play it at the very end as you probably already know, and it fits rather perfectly. I think it's SORT OF remained in the mainstream since then.

Great string of videos you just posted!!

If you've ever seen the movie Pump Up the Volume, one of my favorite scenes is when they play the slowed down version of Wave of Mutilation.

nope this was basically anti war protest and the american woman is THE USA

**OldBill** · 08-15-23, 01:55 AM

American woman
Said get away
American woman
Listen what I say
Don't come a-hangin' around my door
Don't wanna see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Coloured lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes

**stevenash** · 08-15-23, 08:44 AM

Bill?

I love you (not like that) and all that but Guess Who was a late 60's band, early 70's band, wrong decade, now I saw Lenny Kravitz 14 years ago open with their cover of American Woman, but wrong decade again twenty years later.

I'm shock, stunned, and surprised ole William hasn't mentioned "The Wizard of Oz" and "Gone with the Wind" yet!

**khicks26** · 08-15-23, 09:19 AM

Never the less still a good band.

**stevenash** · 08-15-23, 09:27 AM

Great band from Canada, like Rush.
Rush? Rush?
Hmm, great 80's band come to think about it.
(70's band too, and 90's...)

**khicks26** · 08-15-23, 09:47 AM

Agree

**khicks26** · 08-15-23, 09:54 AM

Thanks Canada!

**stevenash** · 08-15-23, 10:00 AM

Best intro ever?

I'm pretty partial to this one myself.

So... What was the better power 80's trio?
Police or Rush?

**khicks26** · 08-15-23, 10:10 AM

I guess it would be a matter of opinion, my choice would be Rush, but I like the Police better.
