[Album] Reliving the music of the 80's...

The Zombies broke up in 1968, Deni. Right before the release of their best record, "Odessey and Oracle".

I was never too into New Order. Dig the first couple of records but by '88 they were pretty weak. Joy Division on the other hand is just one of those immortal bands. The Heart And Soul box set is a must have.

Really, most of the '80s music I listen to is either American punk/thrash or highly experimental electronic stuff which doesn't seem to be what you're looking for.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, I'm talking really damn experimental here – it's rather harsh stuff that understandably isn't most people's cup of tea (Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music is nursery rhymes to this stuff). I can upload some for you if you're really interested, as it can be rather hard to find, but I'll stress again that by "highly experimental" I don't mean synth's in strange time signatures as much as the sound of a buzzsaw for an hour.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Good try Crash, but Sabbath released their first record in 1970.

So, I wasn't wrong.

No need to lecture me on this stuff man, I know it all already. You didn't say "all these bands formed in the seventies, and Sabbath in the sixties", you said "all these bands had their heydays in the seventies, and for Sabbath it was also the sixties", which is evidently false as they were just gigging at blues bars until fall of 1970. In fact, several of the other groups from Kingman's list are longer established than Black Sabbath: Blue Öyster Cult was formed a year before Sabbath and both Alice Cooper and Ted Nugent had recorded two albums a piece by the time Sabbath even had their name. A lot of Sabbath fans (I'm not one of them, mind you) think that the early 80's records with Dio are their best work.

Sorry, but I'm not a person to get into a pissing contest with when it comes to rock history.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
