Although the track sounded nothing like the Primal Scream he'll think he knows.
He might know the Jesus and Mary Chain...

Which brings us back nicely to potential bands of the 80's. G'night.
Thanks, I would never have worked that out.
You are correct about Primal Scream.
I bought a Primal Scream CD last year when I was shopping in Portsmouth, £2.50 in HMV

Hang on, did anyone vote for Electronic in this competition?
90s innit.
Says 1989 in the top corner of the vid.
It would be stretching things more than a little to call them 80s. That was their debut single, released in December 89!

Oh well, that brings us back to The Jam and some people saying they were a 70s band.

no contest ... The Jam

The most curious thing..
Democracy is truly stupid today. Might as well vote for The Birdie Song as the song of the decade as either of these.

In my idealism, I thought that music could bind people together, but this final is tearing us apart! The Smiths v The Fall, C86 v Music People Have Never Heard Of, Madness v The Jam. Stop it everyone, STOP IT! I think we all need to take a deep breath and listen to the remastered Dubnobasswithmyheadman.

Yes I eat anything
Rather obviously the Smiths I'm afraid, so a spoilt ballot paper from me

May not have been the peoples final we all craved but it has created a reasonably entertaining musical shit fight.
I resisted the urge to vote for Madness just to annoy Pasta and went with the Jam who clearly wrote some of the best songs of the 80's.
Would have picked The Cure personally though.

Lots of dullness on here, The Jam played to 25,000 in 1982 alone in Brighton, more sold tickets than any band in any year before or since I reckon. All of these tinpot suggestions couldn't hold a candle to the wonderful Jam, a way of life, if you weren't there the excitement & the energy were just marvellous.

I saw The Jam several times, and they were excellent live.
However...the band of the 80s? No way. Never. ALL their best music was released in the 70s, and they were definitely on the wane after Setting Suns. In my humble opinion.
And if they were 'a way of life' then I am glad that I had broader horizons. They were an excellent live band who released some great records (in the 70s), they were not a way of life.
The band of the 80s came from Manchester.
