I love the Clash. I don't have anything against them. I own 3 of their albums. My point is I'm talking about music that was really popular in the 80's, but for some reason never comes up on the 'return of the 80's' things radio stations do. Your Echo & the Bunneymen selection was key. If you weren't alive in the 80's, you couldn't possibly know who they were. Or the Call, of the Church. Or Erasure. You understand?
BP aren't you 18? Those albums all came out in the early to mid 90s.

Aah, here's another classic album... the last vinyl I ever bought...
Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees: Tinderbox (featuring the hits Cities in Dust and Candyman).

Yeah, I was mostly listening to those at the time though. Too much rap. I listened to some Eminem but I can't say I am fond of that.Originally Posted by The Don

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

My musical taste has changed a lot since HS. I used to listen to crappy house music until I was about 16, then I discovered real music with notes and everything.
One song that does remind me of HS is The Offspring: No Selfesteem, since it was so goddamn popular with the other kids back then. Rape me (Nirvana) and Knocking on Heaven's door (Guns & Roses, I know it's a cover) remind me of elementary school, since those were really popular with the tough kids. Having 10y olds scream "Rape me!" does feel kinda wrong, now that I look back on it...

The ONE band I like from the 80's is The Lyres. The main writer is obviously a Syd Barrett addict- hell, the opening song on "On Fyre" has exactly the same neat and rhythm as "Lucifer Sam." They use the same lighter guitar sound, as well as the same style of electronic keyboard.
Great band. Sadly, they seem to have been the only "Punkadelic" band... ever.

I grew up listening to the Clash. My brother is probably your age. I he is 39. I would always listen to the Clash (I own every album, but I do not lie compilations), Talking Heads (Found A Job and Life During Wartime- greatest TH songs ever), Dead Kennedys who gave me my lifetime motto- Nazi Punks F*ck Off, the Misfits- Last Caress is a great song- evil lyrics but a great song,Sex Pistols (Only one album and they were huge, how can't you admire that) and my favorite since I was born: Social Distortion. Those songs bring back extreme memories. If I was woken by my CO at 4. I would turn their early stuff on (Mainliner, Mommy's Little Monster- which is my favorite Social D album especially Hour of Darkness, best song ever) on and damm, I had the fastest "Growing Boy getting out of bed Time". Also, they have all kinds of styles that they play.
I also have a love for Celt-Punk, like Dropkick Murphys, the Pogues and Flogging Molly.
My second oldest Brother was really into Ska and I listen to a lot of the Specials.
When I got out of highschool...5 Years ago(?) I was really into Rockabilly/PhsycoBilly (Chuck Berry, Stray Cats, Tiger Army, Horton Heat, Eddie Cochran and Chet Atkins) which lead me to form possibly the only Armenian Phsycobilly band ever.
That is all the music I listened to that could be called recognizable by everyone.
