Londonbeat - I've Been Thinking About You (1990)
Still loving this! From their second album, In The Blood, the classic song was released as the lead single. A global hit, reaching #1 in over 10 countries including the US & Australia, as well as peaking at #2 in the UK.
Also found this incredible version of Judas Priest performing War Pigs. Priest has always been one of my favorite Metal band and still performing sounding better than ever! Turn it up!

By 1982, Ridley Scott had already made Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982), then brought that same unmistakable visual style to Roxy Music’s “Avalon”, the only music video he ever directed.
On this day in 1987, Depeche Mode released "Never Let Me Down Again" - the second single from their sixth studio album “Music for the Masses”
“I'm taking a ride with my best friend”
Throw back due to popular demand! 1980

This was a big thing in the early 80s.
Enjoy and turn it up! Some forgot and some dont know! MTV!
I forgot about this song, fcking masterpiece.
The 90's may have been the peak of music that absolutely rocked that didn't need to "rock". Awesome, badass rock songs that didn't need to be fast and hard.
Going through the MTV Unplugged catalog to pick one song from each artist is hard because most of these sets are that good.
I had to watch Nirvana’s Unplugged a couple of times.
From start to finish, that performance is a clear example of why the whole concept worked.
Take a band out of the big rooms, put them in a smaller space, strip away the wall of distortion, and see if they can still hold a room.
I could’ve picked almost any song from that set.
Nirvana didn’t write “Where Did You Sleep Last Night.”
Nobody really knows who did. The song has been around since at least the 1870’s coming out of the Southern Appalachians.
It’s been a folk song, a blues song, a country song. Lead Belly recorded it in the 1940’s and made it more widely known. You can hear Johnny Cash singing it in your head but he never did.
Right before they started it, Kurt was sitting there talking with the band and the crowd about how to end the set, casually lighting a lung dart.
Someone in the audience called out for more. He looked up and said, “Fuck you all. This is the last song of the evening.”
Then he delivered it in a way that made the room go still.
The Cure 🎩🪄 Pictures Of You (Live)
Robert Smith and The Cure at their absolute best!
From the live album/concert film Show, recorded during the Wish Tour at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Michigan.
The original song is from Disintegration (1989).
