Jam out to 80's music! Post some music and let's talk about it.
Appreciated. The 80s can't be fully understood without Germany... it was a factory of singles, many of them became hits all around the world. In fact, I believe Falco was the very first artist I posted in Lemmy myself, with his "der Kommissar".
edit: sorry, I forgot that Falco was austrian, not german. Still a good artist though... I posted another song of his in our 80's jukebox.
Never heard of this band before, but apparently:
They released two albums each year from 1985 to 1987, while also promoting their singles on television across Europe, eventually selling 65 million records in three years.[17]
Notably, Modern Talking were one of the first Western bloc bands sale of whose records was allowed in the Soviet Union. After four decades of Cold War censorship and import restrictions, Chairman Mikhail Gorbachev's glasnost reforms in the USSR in 1986 opened up the Soviet sphere to western bands, including Modern Talking at the height of their popularity. As a result, they nurtured a large, enduring fanbase in Eastern Europe.
