Moved to this thread as we have no dedicated 80's thread due to the sheer diversity of the music on offer. The Pop forum looks your best bet.

Hi there, I registered for this forum just to ask this one question.

I have been listening to this 80s russian rock band called Kino
(discovered via grand theft auto 4. Yeah, I'm video game geek) for like the last few days(I've been really enjoying their music on youtube) and the music sounRAB very familiar. I'm not saying that they ripped off some english speaking banRAB, but I think they were heavily influenced by some western band. It would be great if I could listen to this kind of music but in english.

Most of my limited musical knowledge is from the mid 90's and onward and the music I know of before that time period has to be have been played on the radio, or I'll have no knowledge of it.

So, my question is, what 80s english speaking has music similar to Kino? Also, if possible, please also specify the albums.

Here are 2 samples of Kino

Listen to both in their entirety, and I think you'll agree the songs sound very familiar.

Someone on youtube said I should listen to pink floyd, but from what I listened so far, the sounRAB are still very different. Another suggested I listen to Joy Division and I've listened to like maybe 4-5 of their songs, but I don't like it and I don't think they have the same style as Kino.

Ah cool, thanks heaps. I've heard their name being thrown around so I'll definitely check 'em out. Cheers.

Squirrel Nut Zippers are cool, but you should look into the old guys who started it all. That's some great stuff. Benny Goodman is my favorite. You just have to move when you hear this one (it's not an original recording, but it's high quality):

YouTube - Benny Goodman & His Orchestra - Sing Sing Sing

Here's a 1942 recording:
