    One Night in Bangkok - Murray Head

    I absolutely love these two.

    Pretty much anything Quincy Jones produced back then. He spent more time mixing then artist did on the album's!

    Actually, lots of 80s music was recorded very well... What I find hilarious, is how such great recordings were then distributed on cassette tapes! Lol

    I agree. With CD's growing in popularity, music was really well done.... until the volume wars and cookie cutter pop sucked the life out of music.
    Meh, it'll play.

    Obviously, I'm a bit biased... but I think the 80's (and maybe into mid 90's) was the last of the real 'good talented musical bands'.
    I mean; there have been a few talented people since then (Bruno Mars types), but for the most part; music is just manufactured now.
    It's more about the presentation nowadays. What choreographed dance moves can you do on stage?
    The music is just put there, as a means to keep the stage show in sync.

    If you can think of good 80's songs that are produced / recorded well (SQ)... then keep the list going!

    The list is just so long. Everyday I hear more for the list and forget the songs when I get home. Many have showed up here from others after my original post.
    I'm going to find a way to print my file list and post it to Big Al's 80's music thread.
    Meh, it'll play.

    I agree and I am biased too, because that was "MY" era, as well. You have to search for good music and especially for well recorded stuff, today...

    The pop/hip-hop/top-forty stuff today, is for the most part awful... Strangely, what I consider the good stuff of today, never seems to make it big. But here I go again sounding like a grumpy-getting-old guy! Lol

    I guess I'm a grumpy old man too. However, here is objective data on compression and music repetition that clearly shows older music was more original and had much better dynamic range. The compression in newer music also leads to fatigue and the music begins to drone on after a while of listening.
    Producers have discovered we are more apt to like something new if it is familiar to us so they have run this into the ground. Most modern popular music is written by only a few people and almost all has musical components or electronic add-ins from other popular music. The bad thing is, once you hear it, you can barely listen to new music. I discovered this when I began to feel like all new music sounded the same. I began searching the web to see if it was just me. Turns out, there is a lot on the subject. Search for "volume wars" and another good one is the "country music snap"

    The entire George Michael - Faith album was very well recorded and mastered.
