Hmm, as he’s still going strong thirty plus years on I’m not sure you are right about it being a dreadful noise - though clearly not your cup of tea (idiot)!

There is only one 80s song for the sax and that’s Hazel O’Connors Will You... trumps everything else!

Exactly, Safety Dance is an 80's classic, don't lump it in with the awful wine bar muzak of Phil
Posted this on several muso threads. FFS. What an amazing unsung track.

I adored Passion at the time, buying the 12", and I still play it all the time. Legendary producer Bobby Orlando made other dance classics and was an inspiration to the Pet Shop Boys.

When there's no live football on the radio, my station of choice when I'm cooking is Absolute 80s - I just can't see the 90s or any decade after being as interesting (although the yoof will disagree I'm sure).
I love a lot of music from all eras, but the 80's tops the lot for me. I put this down to being in my late teens and twenties then .... I suspect that most music-loving people have fond musical memories of that age in their lives.
With an personal opinion that the era 1976 to 1990 contained so much new music, entirely new genre, innovation, with loads of creative kids and producers getting a foothold in the industry despite having no formal background.
Some people like to have a pop at Phil Collins either because they genuinely don't like his music (that's fine) or because they jump on the "bashing Phil Collins is cool" band wagon. He is probably one of the most diverse artists there is. His second album "Hello I must be going" is a seriously dark and angry album. If people bought it because they liked the covered song "you can't hurry love" they would be really disappointed.
But hey ho, haters hate.
This is appropriate

I think I may have been misconstrued? I was sticking up for Phil Collins! Excellent songwriter, performer, singer and drummer in my opinion - but hey, we're all different and all that. If you don't like him, that's fine with me too.
I was alluding to Safety Dance as one of the most ridiculous songs of the 80's. Stupid lyrics, annoying melody. Even the video, a group of hippies poncing around a muddy country lane dressed as Dick Whittington with some dwarves dressed as Jesters skipping about if I remember correctly. Do what?! Sounds like a good night out on paper though, mind you....
