Violator released in 1990.
>>131886784Yeah whatever, it's cool AF right?
>>131886795It's pretty good. One of the better songs off the album, though I personally favor Sweetest Perfection.
Halo is honestly a better song from that album
what do you mean, for its time? as if contemporary music is better
>>131886784Personal Jesus was released in 1989.Enjoy the Silence was first performed on German television in 1989 as well.
>>131886844That would make sense as it's an early 1990 release and singles are a thing. Didn't know it was performed live that early though.
>>131886864It's a rare case of a song being performed before even being released, but yeah, both of Violator's main hits were first performed in the '80shttps://youtu.be/oRLsLZZ_2r0?is=EWrbTQEIdmxsxQF2
Words are nary, unnecessary, they can only do harm.
>>131886784The 1980s lasted all the way up until 1993
The 80s had it all, baby. AUTOMATIC
>>131886981the type a decade the great Pointer Sisters can pick up a nu wave riff & run. Great fuckin decade
>>131886976>the 80s lasted from 1979 to 1993>80s nostalgia/revivalism has been going on from 2005 to [present year]
>>1318869761993 is to much. But most of 1991 still looked and sounded like the 80s
>>131886976Sure, but '91 had a good number of decade defining breakthroughs - Loveless, Gothic, Blue Lines, Laughing Stock, Nevermind. A distinct identity was forming pretty early on.
[spoiler]Computerwelt[/nospoilerson/mu/] is the most timeless 80s album
>>131886747My favourite song off the album is Blue Dress. It's very serene and calming and I enjoy its perverted but not even misogynistic if you have a heart that is pure lyrics. The whole album rocks
>>131889964Great pick, love this album and love the shift in style in to the 90s with Songs of Faith and Devotion & Ultra, both albums I feel are as strong as Violator.
>>131890090Their ballads are exceptional which is a shame because they are so few and far between. It Doesn't Matter, Blue Dress, One Caress. They rank high in my favourite songs by DM.And yes you're 100% correct about Songs of Faith and Devotion and Ultra (on first listening of their discography I preferred that era but it's been a while since I've heard Black Celebration and such)
>>131886864sometimes, songs are even years-old, before they end up on an album
>>131886747greatest band since the Beatles
>>131887058the 1980s lasted from 1 Jan 1981 until 31 Dec 1990 in all manner of meaning
The 1980s died when these albums came out on the same day in 1991
>>131891823but who were the first 90s band? my money's on the smiths.
>>1318867841990 is technically the last year of the 80s
>>131886747One of those songs which pretty much no one dislikes no matter how much it's played
>>131894229Stone Roses
>>131894229this album couldnt have been made in the 80s
