I have been exploring more and more 1980's music, and I wanted to open a thread where we could discuss all music and pop culture related moments and performances from 1980-1989!

Speaking in Tongues is the fifth studio album by American rock band Talking Heads, released on June 1, 1983, by Sire Records. After their split with producer Brian Eno and a short hiatus, which allowed the individual members to pursue side projects, recording began in 1982. It became the band's commercial breakthrough and produced the band's sole US top-ten hit, "Burning Down the House", which reached No. 9 in the Billboard Chart.

 

The Cars is the debut studio album by American rock band the Cars, released on June 6, 1978, by Elektra Records.
