Today will be my inaugural day of the launch of my daily music picks. What can you expect you may ask? You can expect a crazy variety of artists and songs, just to make thing more interesting. Anything from the fifties until today are all possibilities, and it should be a lot of fun!
Today I thought we might dive in with some interesting picks from the new wave movement back in the late seventies and early eighties. So much amazing music was produced and still is covered by bands to this day.
Real Life
This first one comes from an Australian band called Real Life. They have been producing music for years and are still at it. However they never really managed to eclipse their biggest hit, here's "Send Me An Angel"
INXS
Next up is INXS, another great Australian band fronted by the late Michael Hutchence. They were definitely one of the most influential bands of the 1980's with their unique sound and style. After suffering a head injury and a fractured skull Michael's personality changed completely. Once easy going he would anger easily and became difficult to work with. Sadly he committed suicide 1997 likely due to the damage to his brain in that injury. Depression is something very important to treat, as many of these sad stories have taught us. But enjoy this great song "Don't Change"
Howard Jones
Howard Jones is my third pick of the day and was a big name back in the 1980's with his music featured in many big films of the day. Like many successful artists he kind of faded out of popularity as the years passed. You rarely hear his music anymore which is a shame, because it was great. Here's "Things Can Only Get Better"
Things can only get better
I hope you enjoyed my picks of the day. I'll try to keep putting up some interesting music up most days when I have the free time. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks for stopping by!
