Post some bands or songs from the 70's-80's. I'm looking for some new music to listen to, any thing that compares to The Cure, David Bowie, America, Simon & Garfunkel, or Tears For Fears!

I only listened to like GoGos, Bangals, 10000 Maniacs, Banarama, Belinda Carlisile, Kylie Minogue and Whitney Houston back then

Man so much damn good contained in those three decades...
So many genres that deserve recognition, where to even start?
Spoiler for three choices that sprang to mind first:
Damn, I don't even think sprang is a word but yay for this thread because it is already full of awesome.
As soon as I finished the last post I chose a song and found myself already forming my next post (then fell asleep before I could finish it)!
Spoiler for the ladies:
Excellent topic. I am a fanatic of that stuff. These are my YouTube playlists for that era of music.Quote:

Some of my favorite music from that era includes Bootsy Collins, Parliament Funkadelic, George Clinton, Sly & The Family Stone, Ohio Players, The Doors, Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes, The Bar-Kays, Charles Mingus, Kenny Burrell and some early rap music like Too Short, N.W.A., King T, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, World Class Wreckin Cru etc.
