Friday night is... 1989

Was this not released in 1990 ?
It could have been on a previous album mind you

I didn't post it, I'm just pointing out what a lazy swine Mr P is.

Not their best ever song but love the thumping bass line from John Deacon, one of the most under rated bass players ever.
Plus who doesn't want to film a video on the back of a train?

She talked to me and made me feel really nice.

How could she not make you feel really nice by talking to you?

I feel really nice just having her look at me. Through a jpg.

I'm an atheist, and i think Cliff is a nobber, but I love this song from 1989

Yup. IIRC I was just starting to discover the stuff that would be pigeonholed as Detroit techno later, but at the time was all called house. Between this, and the new wave of hip hop and rap (genuinely different artists like Public Enemy appearing in the UK in the latter years of the decade) it was a great time for music.

Most of my favourites from the late '80s are slightly earlier though (e.g. Phuture's Acid Trax - I bloody loved that sound, and the stuff inspired by it, like Acperience & Higher State of Consciousness that came along later)

Sorry for yet another tangent, but Phuture's DJ Pierre picks his favourite acid tunes in this article;

Indeed. That late eighties/early nineties period was a bit of a golden era where older studio electronics were cheap enough for 'the kids' to buy up and use for themselves without spending money hiring studios (before acid house, shops couldn't give away Roland 303's). Plus samplers were also becoming affordable and commonplace so technology was giving new creative avenues to explore.
The legend goes that Derrick May drove from Detroit to Chicago to buy Frankie Knuckles' Roland 909 drum machine.
