If you've been watching the cryptocurrency prices today you likely have the blues. So rather than worry about any of that, I decided to take a musical journey to the early 1980's. Doesn't my header today remind you of Back to the Future, at least a little? It was an attempt anyway, AI has a mind of it's own. There's even a red Gibson electric guitar just like the movie!
In case you haven't guessed yet, it's Tuesday once again and I'll be sharing another Three Tune Tuesday. First off I want to say thank you to @ablaze for starting and continuing to sponsor this fun weekly event where you can share three fun songs that you enjoy. One lucky participant will win some HSBI units, you can't have too many of those! So if you don't already participate feel free to jump in, just use the tag #ttt or #threetunetuesday and it's never a bad idea to do a shoutout to @ablaze .
Let's get started with The English Beat...
The English Beat
This legendary ska band formed in Birmingham, England in 1978 fronted by Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger. They were know by different names depending on where you lived. In Europe they were The Beat, in the US they were The English Beat, and in Australia they were The British Beat. From 1980 to 1982 they produced three studio albums and a string of hit songs. The band split up in 1983 spinning off into bands General Public and Fine Young Cannibals. However, in 1982 their last album Special Beat Service had this great hit, "Save It for Later":
Berlin
Berlin is often best know for the song "Take My Breath Away", but they started off in a very different direction. Formed in 1976 in Orange, California the band didn't have any luck with their original vocalist. In 1979 they managed to recruit Teri Nunn and pursued an electronic sound popular in Europe at the time. Having no luck getting a record deal, they disbanded and Nunn decided to pursue an acting career. However, she rejoined the band in 1980 and their breakthrough album Pleasure Victim was released in 1982.
Pleasure Victim was a much more electronic/ synthesizer driven sound and the band found some initial success and fan following. They changed their sound to more rock n roll for their second album Love Life, which was released in 1984, which had this big hit, "No More Words":
Adam & The Ants
This band was formed in 1977 in London, initially as a punk band. There were two version of the band, both fronted by Adam Ant. In 1980 all of the original band, minus Ant, left to join the band Bow Wow Wow. A new band was put together and finally broke into the mainstream popularity. In 1980 they released Kings of the Wild Frontier that went to number one on the charts in UK. In 1982 Adam Ant left to pursue his very successful solo career, but not before scoring a string of hits with The Ants.
This came off the above mentioned album, "Antmusic"
That will wrap up this Three Tune Tuesday, I hope you enjoyed the trip down early 1980's lane. Please feel free to leave any questions or comments below, and thank you for all of your support. It really is greatly appreciated! Have a great day everyone!
