Oh! And the Windbreakers, as well. I used to have Terminal and Run, which were both cool
The Windbreakers. Wow, these guys are good.

Hands down the best power pop ever to come out of Mississippi. Not that there's much competition.

wasn't sure where to put this, but has anyone heard Arrogance w/Don Dixon? I came across their name in the liner notes to a teenline comp years ago, but still haven't heard them. anyone?

not from the 80's exactly, but imperial teen are great and jangly. gravity talks by green on red is a good record, but i never thought of them as jangly. too much velvets in their sound for that, imo

hmm maybe i'll find a better thread for my arrogance query. according to allmusic they went from byrdsjangle/early-mid70s West Coast post-psych/pop/rock/folk-rock/country-rock to more rocking powerpop?

The guitar-skronk of Dream Syndicate and Gang of Four-isms of Pylon, though I love both, don't really jangle to me. One pretty jangly LP I've pulled out several times recently is "Greenhouse" by Absolute Grey (1984,) which has lots of that strummy Rickenbacker sound of early REM.

Despite being a fan of Shack, I didn't listen to the full Pale Fountains albums until this week. Not bad!
The Pale Fountains - Pacific Street (Virgin, 1984)The Pale Fountains - …From Across The Kitchen Table (Virgin, 1985)
Also Ian Broudie post-Wild Swans/pre-Lightning Seeds:
Care - Diamonds & Emeralds (Camden, 1984)
A friend was listening to the Shrimp Boat box set, which made me think that a label like Captured Tracks needs to put out box sets of The Jazz Butcher and Game Theory.

Was Jefferson Airplane much of an influential touchstone for any of these 80s jangle groups? I know the Velvet Underground is always stated, but listening back to old JA, I got to say sonically their first couple LPs sound in line with these 80s groups.

Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever are kind of in there between early Go-Betweens, The Clean, other antipodals (and they seem like they probably like Television's "Days", T's Byrdsiest ever, even achieve the harmonies, atypically enough). Neighbor Courtney Barnett (who also might fit, though the one w Kurt Vile not rec) has observed that Melbourne doesn't have no beach, but RBCF make their own (other neighbors Dick Diver, who also might fit) honored their sister city on Melbourne Florida/ Anyway 2017's The French PressEP is a really nnniiiice and driving place to start w Coastals (they've got older stuff on here too) https://rollingblackoutscoastalfever.bandcamp.com/

If you want some really great undersung 60s jangle check out Darby Slick's raga guitar on the live Great Society set. That's Grace's brother-in-law in her pre JA band.for 80s stuff does Savage Republic's monotone guitar count as jangle? I think that is the sound you get from it anyway. & the Abecedarians also depend on droning jangle I think.
― Stevolende, Monday, 8 January 2018 08:22 (six years ago) link

Yes yes yes! This is my favorite guitar band to emerge in God knows how many years. They are fantastic.

Additionally, as stated upthread, please check out Winter Hours. We know how to jangle here in NJ and they had the sound down. Hyacinth Girl is a lost classic. They should have been more popular, and unfortunately they had a tragic ending.
― kornrulez6969, Monday, 8 January 2018 15:43 (six years ago) link
Maybe I'll try them again---seemed like, back when their vids were occasionally on 120 Minutes of MTV, that the lead vocals were too Murmur-y for me---I still liked Stipe at that point, but even then one was enough.Aztec Camera's High Land, Hard Rain was refreshing, and I think would have been even if it weren't so against the grain/trends of early 80s. Other AZ albums of the 80s, also 1990's Stray were okay-to-good, and certainly more quality over quantity, although Roddy Frame could sometimes sound like---a better Barry Manilow? Dunno, I'm not big on a lot of earnest young Brit male voxxes. But that guitar, those tunes, yow. (The guitar was sometimes down in the mix, but the tunes could feel it).
― dow, Monday, 8 January 2018 16:33 (six years ago) link
Speaking of 80s trends, you get Steve Lillywhite's DRUM SOUND--hipster/post-punk/HEY MTV---with robust jangle and more of those supple tunes on Marshall Crenshaw's Field Day, and for me the (sufficiently blended)contrast works even better because of supporting his earnest young American male vox, always blander than Frame's, or too consistently subtle for me.
― dow, Monday, 8 January 2018 16:46 (six years ago) link
The Ocean Blue had their first 3 albums reissued recently, and they contain a lot of jangle rock and 80s production.
― mark e, Monday, 8 January 2018 16:51 (six years ago) link
Speaking of supple tunes and guitars, got those w scruffy, take-it-or-leave-it voice and words on Freedy Johnston's Can You Fly, although that's from '92---The Trouble Tree was pretty good too, from 1990, '89? Dunno if he did any in the 80s.
― dow, Monday, 8 January 2018 16:56 (six years ago) link
First Dumptruck album holds up great. Subsequent albums blend in with all the other 80s bands too much for me. I ought to revisit them though I suppose.
