  • 3 Women

    The impact of women in music throughout the 80s should be obvious with our girl Madonna dominating the charts going head to head with the biggest pop stars of all time including Prince and Michael Jackson. I could dedicate a top 10 list to my favorite female recording artists/songs from the 80s. Instead the three below represent my role models. The all-female band, alternative, record producer. That’s on my resume.

  • Alternative Rock/Kate Bush

    Between 1982-1983 a lot is happening with me as I become more independent and competent. I am using the classified ads to find my first band mates. I am in possession of the best music equipment made for show biz.

    My taste in music is changing. I’m transitioning from a fan of new wave music into a fan of alternative rock. I fell in love with the song “Sat in Your Lap” the first time I heard it on KJET. Kate Bush would eventually become my favorite recording artist of all time.

    This is also around the time I stopped listening to funk music from the 70s. Cameo was my favorite band just one year ago. By 1983, the white suburbs will start influencing my aesthetic preferences.
