Album of 1984 (Round 3) - RESULT

[NorfolkWhite]

Arab Strap 'Mad for Sadness'

[NorfolkWhite]

The 80s had post-punk, goth and hardcore.

It was the last time music was allied to anything genuinely counter-cultural, and I was young enough to still think it meant something.

Yep - never sure why it gets such a bad rap, even the pop was better in the 80s.

[Haighy]

S & M by Metalica.

[Muppet the Cat]

I was at the Arab Strap gig which they recorded for the Mad For Sadness live album. At the QE Hall on the South Bank. Have tickets to see them on their tour next year as well. Always loved 'em.

Never got on with the flaming lips ..

I didn't really enjoy them on record, but then I saw them at Glastonbury 3 years ago and they were incredible, and after that I really got into them.

Excellent band SG, their early albums are cracking, I've always thought the Lips would be a very good stage band
