Are people forgetting the new music that burst onto the scene in the 80's?

It started in late 1986 and by 1987 there was illegal Acid House partys up and down the country in the UK. The music phenom that spread through the country like wildfire, it started with Acid, then House, Jungle and Hardcore.. Illegal raves like sunrise, back to the future ect and a multitude of clubs throughout the UK, the rest you should know...


Here's 3 classics from that time... D-Mob - We Call it acieeed, Jolly Roger - Acid man, Jungle Brothers - I'll house You...

Good, but ... "B.O.C." sold out with that release, for me.

Just Sayin' ...

In other words, the TOP40 seemed a higher priority than the "end result".


Just sayin'

I agree. And I prefer the older stuff myself, but then we'll be in the 70's. But this one here below was also from the (early) 80's. Nice guitar solo...
