It is 30 years since the release of the album Synchronicity by the Police. Some of their most successful songs was on this album. One of their most well known songs is Every Breath You Take.
Another good song is Synchronicity II. Doesn’t Sting look a bit like his character Feyd-Rautha from Dune in this video?
It’s 30 years since Dio released his album Holy Diver. I am not really a fan of Heavy Metal, but this album is an exception. I remember that me and my friends play this album a lot. I didn’t own it back then, but I have now bought it (but not on vinyl).
Let’s Dance, it’s 30 years since David Bowie’s album called Let’s Dance was released. I like the even older stuff from David Bowie better, but this is Bowie’s best-selling album. The title-track was number 1 in lots of countries:
Another great track was China Girl. This is a song that I have played myself on both electronic keyboard and guitar.
Cat people, a.k.a. Putting Out Fire is another cool track and was the title song of the 1982 film Cat People with Nastassja Kinski.
This track has also been used in other films. It was used in a new (more modern) version in Inglourious Basterds with Brad Pitt and Mélanie Laurent. Someone made a cool youtube video with clips from the film of this version. (SPOILER ALERT)
Funny how it seems. The album True with Spandau Ballet is 30 years today.
I know this much is true, since I have checked it at wikipedia. It’s a Gold mine of information.
Today it’s 30 years since another very good album was released, War by U2.
There are a few good tracks on it that I think everyone remembers. First, Two Hearts Beat As One:
Then Sunday Bloody Sunday:
The final one is on our playlist we usually play on New Year’s Eve. That is the track called New Year’s Day. The video for this song is really cool and was filmed in Sweden.
