I think what I was trying to get at was, although 1987 may not have been the heyday of 80s commercial music, as the decade was drawing to a close it is still a good snapshot of what had come before and gives a sense of moving on to somewhere else.

 

Thisispop's post of songs from the year that were covers, re-issues, or from film and TV surely helps to demonstrate that this was the end of an era, taking stock and looking back, solidifying in preparation to move on.

 

I probably did not express this very well earlier, but that is probably because coming into Retro and Culture Box is quite scary - so I end up just saying a couple of things that maybe don't get the point across, and then I leg it.

 

 

thats cool, i think we understand eachother :)

... we invariably regard the time we get into music (usually mid-teens) as 'the best era ever' as those times hold the best memories..... unfortunately though it doesnt always equates to periods of 'good' music. i had glam when i was a teen, i hated it! lol.

I'll see if i can sort out the Westworld song for you, i should have it somewhere.

Thanks for sending me Sonic Boom Boy Mark, that's helped make my day.

 

I'm flying high on a rocket in the sky . . . :dance: :cheer:
