@ndzordz Haha sorry but its true..the 80s rocked in every way. The 70s, 90s. even 2000s have had some awesome moments but nothing had eveything awesome like the 80s did. Although Im sure everyone thinks that about their teen years no matter what decade it was.
@mitch19872 I know, I know.. 80's.. I wonder if the people appreciated the music.. because it was real music.. you know... so good musicians, guitarists like Eddie Van Halen, Kee Marcello, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Stevie Vai... Now new guitarists are as good as me and my talent is as big as EVH's nail haha
@ndzordz Yeah they definitely had to be great back then to survive. It was based more on actual talent then looks. With autotune any pretty face can release an album and people will buy it nowdays. I do miss the hard rock bands/metal bands of the 80s the most. Nobody makes music like that anymore. Nothing beats the 80s headbanging arena rock!!
@bittersweetist I blame Brittany Spears for the downfall of talent in the music industry. The talent that came out in the 90s started to decline but it hit the wall at Brittany. She redefined the industry: no talent, no problem. Just as long as you were hot looking, could move a lil or have a gimic of some sort and can sing well enough so it could be fixed in the studio - you get a pass. Crappiddy crap crap crap.
Honestly, I wasn't born in the 80s, but I have always loved the music from the 80s and 90s because it wasn't merely synthesizers and metaphors for sex set to a beat, it was actually a melody, creative lyrics (sometimes about sex still) and most of all, it was played on *real* instruments. That's not to say that there aren't good songs nowadays, just not as many musicians capable of making good music.
i like the older music too. Music before seemed to have some sort of meaning, it was an important expression made by the artists. Seems like its harder to find music with meaning these days.. I guess i crave the realness of older music.. Or im just way too old.....
I WAZ JUST A KID IN THE 80'S........I REMEBER WOMEN WERE THIN, HAD SHORT OR LONG CURLY HAIR.... KIDS PLAYED AT THE PARK......AND THER WERE STILL JOBS.......OH'' WELL'''.......TIMES CHANGE......
why is music about making money not music? why are we settling for crap instead of demanding more. I love music not computers. it takes no talent to come up with some thing the computer spit out. I crave real music.
@crewlla Because the crap sells. Remember when bands just played in their cloths and not take a hour or a stylist to go play. They just sang and not filter. I agree with ya. Today's singers are woossys.
70s and 80s where better not just because of music . Today you get molested by the government at airports. I believe there must be more chemicals in the foods today. The reason I say is that people looked so different then. Girls were prettier too. Much more natural looking. People look so fat and aggresive now. I hope when I die that I can live in a heaven that is my own, My heaven would look like the 70s and 80s music and all forever. Dancing and loving endlessly. Guess I am dreaming again.
Please add insane drum solo by darceyolsen7 on yourtube. Ur drummer stood me up in Wasaga Beach at the campground at 13 years old. Yes he was busy banging on the drums. I used to sit outside at store waiting for him. Now my son is doing the same thing to women and I get Chris now. Sending only good vibs. kimi wright
bahaha I had the biggest crush on Kimi back then...assuming you are the same one. I remember being at No jacket Required and Spanky's in Brampton thinking "I really need to learn how to play drums..." years later being a drummer playing in New Orleans I was like "oh yeah, of course i learned this because of a girl..."

Let's face it, today's artists and the future's artists will never be this good, ever again. Looks like we've got the best we'll get. It's just every man and woman's duty to make these masterpieces available to the youth.
the 60's was a rmarkable time for music,the70's was experimenting with disco etc,the late 70's and80's defined rock and roll no music today comes close
They did a great version of this at The Mod Club last week. My fave PB tune, love Serges guitar and Chris's drumming on this one. Mark sounded exactly like he did in the 80's
@ricjamesbtch I agree! Linkin Park were great up until the last album- I loved the 80's influence mixed with everything- but why they decided to turn into Coldplay on the last album I'll never know- (Coldplay= U2 album filler)
I am going to see Platinum Blonde tonight here in Toronto!!!!
This is first time i see this band and it's really good!!! Thanks of my english teacher I know about them. She asked me "What's your hobby?" I said "Playing the guitar.." She wondered "What?!" I repeated "Playing the guitar!" And she said "Ooo I heard you, your hobby is Standing in the dark" all the class fall on the floor laughing. I came home and I spelled on youtube Standing in the dark and found another excellent song.
Many nations were involved in the cold war. Not just USSR and The United States. That being said , the Korean war and Veitnam war were part of the Cold War. So was the Cuban missile crisis...but so was every other civil, independence and guerilla conflict in those 30 sone years.
I wished we could go back and stop what ever happened back in the Eighties so that nothing today would happened. For instance, do we really need the freaking Jonas Brothers copying "Hello Goodbye" by the Beatles?Really?!? I mean, the Cold War was coming to an end between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R., and the war between the U.S. and Israel was escalating.... Thank George Bush Senior for that, because his son also crippled the world economy by bringing the recession to the Americans,bloody nonsense!
Rap helps more than you will ever know in fact it helped all past music come into the foreground. Give it it's dues. I can agree though that alot of it is horrible but so was alot of Music From This Time period right?
this was actually my favorite song of the album.......god, i listened to this a lot while treeplanting in 1984. THis music was good, but not the best of the 1980s (ie, Police, U2, springsteen etc) but god, music was 10 times better then...... even tho the music now is generally unlistenable and completely worthless, i do believe another generation of great song-writers is coming (largely due to the crap we suffer with currently). :)
This song peaked at #32 on the Canadian charts which surprises me because I thought it was a much bigger hit, amazingly a lot of their tunes didn't do that well chartwise but what I do know is PB are the greatest Canadian band of all time.
Except for the fact that the bassist died well over a month ago, you may have been correct.
"Kenny MacLean, who rose to fame as bassist in the 1980s Toronto-based new wave band Platinum Blonde and had just released his third solo album, was found dead yesterday in his Yonge St. recording studio-apartment."
Technically you're both correct. The original vinyl started with those sentences, before launching into "Standing in the Dark." The inclusion of those sentences before "Crying in the Dark" was an homage to their earlier work.
@lauranbri Actually the correct song title that has "Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin." at the start of the song is "Doesn't Really Matter" and the woman is the lead singers "Mark Holmes" mother.
Sorry, didn't read all the comments on this before responding. Was just going by the video on here, I didn't realise it was edited in from another track.
I remember when American artists used to praise Much for being a music channel that plays music. Well thats over. If I wanted to watch MTV i'd watch.....MTV. Play some music already
just heard my dad lisening to this song last night and really liked it even though its older its got a good sound not like that crap now a days ya and my friends think im a freak cuz I like this stuff its asome though how could you not like it
You're right! Although I don't agree that 90's totally sucked. But it's true that music began to fail in the 90's. And 2000's is terrible yeah :/, hip-hop is not music talent..is shit!!
I love this 80s stuff....reminds me of a time with no kids, mortgage, shrewish wife, shitty job...I could go on! I remember the album cover causing quite a stir due to Mark Holmes making it quite apparent to which side he dressed!
I'm still listening to this in 1983

Technically you're both correct. The original vinyl started with those sentences, before launching into "Standing in the Dark." The inclusion of those sentences before "Crying in the Dark" was an homage to their earlier work.

@lauranbri Actually the correct song title that has "Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin." at the start of the song is "Doesn't Really Matter" and the woman is the lead singers "Mark Holmes" mother.

That's on the start of Crying Over You.

Sorry, didn't read all the comments on this before responding. Was just going by the video on here, I didn't realise it was edited in from another track.

The 80's Rocked , the 90 Sucked and 2000's are the year of terrible remakes with rap idiots (artists)
motleyflush 4 years ago
You're right! Although I don't agree that 90's totally sucked. But it's true that music began to fail in the 90's. And 2000's is terrible yeah :/, hip-hop is not music talent..is shit!!

This brings back great memories. Mark Holmes (singer/bassist) is now part owner of the Mod club in Toronto. This band should do a reunion tour.

I love this 80s stuff....reminds me of a time with no kids, mortgage, shrewish wife, shitty job...I could go on! I remember the album cover causing quite a stir due to Mark Holmes making it quite apparent to which side he dressed!
