The seventies saw a generation of energetic and virtuoso rock bands reach the top before collapsing in the face of the arrival of the punk wave whose appearance strangely coincided with the much lighter fashion of disco. But at the dawn of the 80's another story begins: punk was turning into post-punk and technological evolutions as well as the advent of synthesizers would forever mark the sound of this decade. Everything was allowed: pop, soul, metal or electro, bands of all kinds shamelessly exploited their new toys and unknowingly created what was to become the sound of the 80s.
It would take another couple of years to really get there, meanwhile AC/DC were about to experience unprecedented success with "Back In Black", their first album with singer Brian Johnson after the death of Bon Scott. Metal was not forgotten with Iron Maiden's debut album or Ozzy Osbourne's solo album. It was also the very first time that a synthesizer appeared on a Queen album (an Oberheim OB-X), signalling the beginning of a musical shift inspired by pop, rock and funk, notably on the hit "Another One Bites the Dust" that would propel "The Game" to the top of the charts in the United States. John Lennon regained critical success on "Double Fantasy" with Yoko Ono, before being tragically shot on December 8, 1980. David Bowie started a new mutation with his Pierrot outfit on the lunar music video of "Ashes To Ashes", one of the most expensive in history.
The fashion for bright, fluorescent colours was about to follow! Take a look back at the beginning of a precious, sometimes kitsch, but adventurous and liberated decade with Kate Bush, The Cure, Dire Straits, U2, Joy Division, Peter Gabriel, Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Prince, ABBA, Diana Ross, Human League...
