THE 1980's MUSIC TASTE

The 80’s were a big time for pop music, introducing international stars like Madonna, Whitney Houston, Prince, Cher, Tina Turner, and the king of pop himself, Michael Jackson. The 1980’s were a great time of technological advancements – from the invention of Compact Discs (CD’s) and cassette players, to the advances made in the music video industry. Pop artists like Madonna and Michael Jackson knew how to work the industry and turn it into big business. Many pop artists used their music videos to gain their popularity. Their clothing became trends (Madonna’s fishnet stockings and bleach blonde hair, Michael Jackson’s single glove and wide array of jackets), their moves legendary, and their songs climbed to the top of the charts.

The 80’s were also a big developmental time for a new brand of rock, aptly named Hard Rock, or Heavy Metal. Pop made a big debut in the 80’s, but Heavy Metal dominated the decade with legendary bands like Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Guns n’ Roses, Aerosmith, and AC/DC. Fans of metal (often referred to as Metalheads, or Headbangers), packed concerts to experience harsh distortion, loud drums, dense bass, and the screaming vigorous vocals of the band’s front runner.
By the mid 1980’s, Hip Hop and Rap artists were starting to make their mark in the industry. Artists like Grandmaster Flash, and Kurtis Blow were introducing the masses to a new style of beats, lyrics, and dance moves. By the late 1980’s, the MTV music television program were jumping on board. “Yo! MTV Raps,” was a two hour show dedicated to showcasing hip hop and rap music videos.
Pop, Metal, and Hip Hop were the big players in the 80’s, but they weren’t alone. Hard Rock, or Heavy Metal spawned a wide variety of spin off music genres. Thrash Metal bands like Metallica and Megadeath were a reaction to the poppier ‘hair metal bands’ of the 80’s. Hardcore Punk bands were operating underground, spreading aggressive metal-influenced punk rock with a political and social awareness in their lyrics. And as a reaction to all of the mainstream rock trends, Alternative Rock (Alt-rock) bands like R.E.M, the Pixies, They Might Be Giants, and The Cure were making their stand in the music world.

The 80’s were a powerful decade in music history, bearing witness to the official end of the Disco era in 1981, and the influence music can have in a humanitarian world (Live Aid, 1985). The so called “Greedy Decade” gave back to the world with artists and music trends that would flourish well into the 1990’s and 2000’s.

POP MUSIC

Pop music is a liberal and vague category of modern music not marked by artistic considerations but by its promising audience or future market. Pop is music composed with calculated objective to influence the majority of its contemporaries.

In contrast to music that calls for education or arrangement to appreciate, a significant characteristic of pop music is that anyone is able to enjoy it. Artistic concepts such as complex musical form and aesthetics are not a matter in the writing of pop songs, the key aim being audience satisfaction and commercial triumph. Although the aim of pop music is to sell records and do really well in the charts, it does not require wide acclaim or commercial success. There are bad or unsuccessful pop songs.

Originally the term was an abbreviation of, and synonymous to, popular music, but developed around 1954 to express a particular musical category. The stylistic origins of pop music is folk,jazz,R&B,rock and roll,traditional pop music.The typical instruments are electric guitar,bass guitar,drum kit and keyboard.The cultural origins date back to 1950's in the United States.It is popular worldwide since 1960s.

The standard format of pop music is the song, usually less than five minutes in length. The instrumentation can range from an orchestra to a lone singer. In spite of this wide choice, a standard lineup in a pop band includes a lead guitarist, a bassist, a drummer (or an electronic drum machine), a keyboardist and one or more singers, generally not themselves instumentalists.

Pop songs are generally conspicuous by a heavy rhythmic element, a mainstream style and traditional structure. The most common modification is strophic in form and focuses on memorable melodies, catchy hooks and the appeal of the verse-chorus-verse arrangement, with the chorus sharply contrasting the verse melodically, rhythmically and harmonically.

Lyrics in pop compositions are usually simple and speak of universal experiences and feelings, moving away from incomprehensible or debatable issues.The international appeal of pop was evident in the new millennium, with artists from around the world influencing the genre and local variants merging with the mainstream. As of 2008, pop music is now currently the most popular style of music of youth culture, making competition with hip hop, dance and country.

White Lion

White Lion was a Hard Rock band of the 1980's and early 1990's. Their manager Mike Parente, also owned L’amour, a club in Brooklyn. The band was formed in New York City in 1983 by Danish-born vocalist Mike Tramp (original name Michael Trampenau) and guitarist Vito Bratta who wrote most of the band`s songs. The bands members were: James Lomenzo, Greg D’Angelo, Mike Tramp, Vito Bratta.

White Lion was signed by Elektra records in 1983 and recorded their debut Fight To Survive. However, Elektra was unhappy with the final recording, and after refusing to release the album, terminated their contract.

The album Fight To Survive was eventually picked up by RCA and released in Japan in 1984. The small US independent label Grand Slamm records finally released Fight To Survive in the US on November 9, 1985. A few months later, Grand Slam records went bankrupt.

In early 1986, White Lion, with a fictitious “female” member, had a brief part in the Tom Hanks/Shelley Long movie The Money Pit.

The following year Atlantic released their second album Pride which brought success for them. Especially the single Wait which climbed to 8th place in the U.S. chart & real metal music listeners liked it too surprisingly. When the Children Cry was a bigger hit. It reached 3rd place. Atlantic released Fight to Survive worldwide too. The guys toured with the bands Frehley`s Comet, Kiss, AC/DC & Stryper.

In 1989 their next CD Big Game came out. That was a more successful album and it set up their place in the hard rock bands’ top-flight. Mike Tramp called their music “rock`n`roar”. That recording’s hit single was Radar Love, a classic originally recorded by Golden Earring.

1991 was the year when they made their best CD Mane attraction, according to Greg D`Angelo. It contained chart tune Lights & Thunder and a new version of their first album’s song Broken Heart.

In 1992 Greg D`Angelo & James Lomenzo had enough of Tramp`s continuous fighting with Bratta so they left the band. New members were bassist Tommy T. Bone Caradonna & drummer Jimmy De Grasso. Soon, in the autumn of the same year the band disbanded.

Greg & James have played in different groups after White Lion. Vito Bratta concentrated on classic guitar playing. Soon after disbanding Mike had a new band called Freak Of Nature with his Danish friend Oliver Steffanson. They made a few songs together and the demos with the band. Then Tramp & Steffanson had a fight when Staffanson went back to Denmark. The band recorded 2 albums during the years 1993-94. Later in year 1998 all their demos released too.

In year 1998 Mike made his first solo album Capricorn.

After 4 solo albums Mike formed Tramp’s White Lionin the year 2005 with young new musicians, with “Tramp’s” as part of the name to show it was only him from the original band. They recorded live album “Rockin’ the USA” and a studio album is planned as well.

Older White Lion`s demos were also released in the 2000`s as bonus tracks on their remastered albums and in one collection.
