Poll question: Ultimate 80's ballad |
|
You know you loved these songs, and if you got to SLOW dance with a girl or guy during one of these songs you were officially an "item"....

Just kiddin'....grew up on all that stuff.
The very best ballad by a hardcore metal band was probably "Room With a View" by Death Angel.

14. To my knowledge it wasn't |
|
But I don't know for sure. It almsot had a Reggae type of a sound to it.
Here are the lyrics I found on google although the "but you in the food when I look at your face" sounds like a mistake (LOL):
Cause in nothing there's something I feel And my heart takes it straight Or it'll break down again In your lips I sense a danger You've got the eyes of a stranger Have I been sleeping for all these years? Is it magic that makes you appear? When you walked in the room I felt my heart race But you in the food when I look at your face In your lips I sense a danger You've got the eyes of a stranger In your lips I see a danger You've got the eyes of a stranger Solo Chorus You've got the eyes of a stranger (repeatedly)

Actually had a copy of "No Stranger to Danger" in the 80s.
It's fortunate that I'm married to a Canadian so visit in-laws every year or so. We always stock up on hard-to-find stuff while we're up. Last time we bought a Payolas greatest hits.

What was the song with lyrics in it about the "bowler hat" it was good whatever it was...I had the "tape" at the time and loved it. Unfortunately all that stuff is gone now from my collection.

Edited on Sat Jun-12-04 10:55 PM by liberal_veteran
Swaying room as the music starts Strangers making the most of the dark Two by two their bodies become one
I see you through the smokey air Can't you feel the weight of my stare You're so close but still a world away What I'm dying to say, is that
I'm crazy for you Touch me once and you'll know it's true I never wanted anyone like this It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss I'm crazy for you, crazy for you
Trying hard to control my heart I walk over to where you are Eye to eye we meet, no word at all
Slowly now we begin to move Every breath I'm deeper into you Soon we two are standing still in time If you read my mind, you'll see
I'm crazy for you Touch me once and you'll know it's true I never wanted anyone like this It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss I'm crazy for you, crazy for you
It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you And you know it's true I'm crazy, crazy for you

17. Yes INXS was also a big 80's deal |
|
Ship of fools was one of my faves (was that the title?)
I saw INXS at a really small bar in like 1992 in Detroit (it was a promotional thing and there were only about 300 people there) I wasn't a huge INXS fan prior to seeing them but it was an astounding live performance.
They rated right up there with the so called greats IMO in terms of live performance.

29. BRUUUUCE: "I'm on Fire" |
|
"The City" which is really called "Lights" off of "Infinity", and "Babe", from "Cornerstone" were 70s songs. 1978 for Journey, and '79 for Styx.
Some 80's ballads... "I want to Know What Love Is"-Foreigner. "Hey Little Girl"-Icehouse "Drive"-The Cars "Save A Prayer"-Duran Duran "Purple Rain"-Prince and the Revolution "A Girl in Trouble (is a temporary thing)"- Romeo Void
There was a girl group that remade Rose Royce's "Wishing on a Star" which was good, but that might have been a 90's song.
