Honorable Mentions (In My Collection) 1980-1989

[@TheDreamtimezzz]

I had never heard of voice farm. I would love a “bands from the 80s you may have not heard about” video. Always looking for new music. ❤😊

[@CraigsVinylPlethora]

@@TheDreamtimezzz that’s a good idea. Voice farm is great. I have 2 out of the 4 albums.

[@StacksChannelYT]

I still need to catch up on your previous videos but seeing Music for the Masses in the honorable mentions video... wow! There must be some heavy hitters in the 1987 video :) That slip and accidentally singing Thompson Twins was hilarious!

[@CraigsVinylPlethora]

@@StacksChannelYT 🤣🤣. I mean the songs are pretty much the same, right? Ok not really!!

[@daniafterdark]

You've never heard a Japan album?! You really must! They defined the 80s in the UK. Any thing from Quiet Life on.

[@CraigsVinylPlethora]

@@PinkMonkeybird1234 I know! I have problems! They are definitely on my list of bands to check out.

[@ScottMilton-w3e]

Love Sylvian, if you can find the vinyl edition of Japan- Methods Of Dance - the singles grab it immediately. Sooooo great, love your channel❤ BTW I'm so jealous you have that Creatures album 😂❤

[@CraigsVinylPlethora]

Coincidentally, earlier on I was watching a video by Norman Maslov from 4 years ago about David Sylvian and Japan. And he recently posted somthing about an upcoming career spanning Sylvian compilation being reissued on vinyl for the first time. Looks interesting.

[@CraigsVinylPlethora]

@@spectrum_archives I haven’t seen his video. I saw that the Sylvian comp was coming out. It’s on my list. Definitely want to explore more of his catalog including Japan.

That Voice Farm cover reminds me of a 12-Inch single from Seventh Avenue. They were a gay boy band in the UK in the 80s and one of their singles (I forget which) was pretty risque.

[@CraigsVinylPlethora]

@@dewey70 I’ve never heard of Seventh Avenue. Are they worth looking up?

[@dewey70]

@@CraigsVinylPlethora I dunno about the quality of the music but the one cover was fun. Lemme fine a link.

[@CraigsVinylPlethora]

@@dewey70 i looked them up. They are not good! But yes some of the single covers are very scandalous!

[@dewey70]

@@CraigsVinylPlethora Yeah that would never have flown in the US :D

[@arzabael]

“90s gay”!! I don’t think I’m gay but definitely a little. I just love thinking of myself as a 2000s gay, like in that context gay can just mean guy or it means whatever you’re gayest for which really just means whatever you love most
