[jpgray]

2. Nice

[Iggo]

13. Me, too.

I try to tell people it's because I'm fascinated by a song with 6 pre-choruses.

But the truth is it makes me cry like a 12 yr old.

11. I can't say that I feel guilty about anything I like.

But here's a couple 80's tunes/artists that weren't thrash or punk that I really, really liked.

Thomas Dolby - Hyperactive
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zelVvrgcK_g

The Babys - Isn't It Time
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOl2wp__yfc

[MissMillie]

59. I love that Babys song!

:thumbsup:

[Forkboy]

63. They were a really good band.

Strangely though, I never got into Waite's solo stuff. Maybe I had just moved on to darker musical pastures by then. :)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

[Arugula Latte]

14. Love the Funkytown!

:thumbsup:

[Systematic Chaos]

15. Considering this video preceded MTV by nearly 2 years,

it was great to be able to watch, finally, and would have fit right in had MTV gotten its start in '79.

I don't care what anyone says. I might love my prog rock now, but I'll never be a snob who turns up his nose at the great pop songs from back then, this one included. :)

[Arugula Latte]

18. What could be more 80s than Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMwdAc1Dzfg

[Systematic Chaos]

22. Awesome choice!

Reminds me of "Obsession" by Animotion as well.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

39. "What I really need to do is find myself a brand new lovvverrrr..."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUUHY3OXt9s

[Rob H.]

64. I actually bought that song and their updated version on iTunes a while back

I was more into metal in the 80s but I've always thought that was a really fun song.

[fNord]

[AccessGranted]

42. Good One!

Loved that song!

[WorseBeforeBetter]

43. Agree!

I'll probably be up way too late now cruisin' 1980s videos -- I've already hit Siouxsie and the Banshees and am now onto Echo and the Bunnymen. :P

Hadn't seen that one.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

49. Really?

You're welcome! And I don't feel so *guilty* about these songs after all. :)

[Inspired]

58. Big Country is one of my all time favorite songs.

There's just something about it.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

65. I guess it left a pretty big impression on me, too...

since I remember my reaction the first time I heard it waaaaaaay back in 1983. (Feeling old-ish all of a sudden!)

[WorseBeforeBetter]

44. Ah hell, one more: Simple Minds -- Speed Your Love to Me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph6r7SkxYTw&NR=1

[mentalsolstice]

48. "I Want to Know What Love Is" by Foreigner

It was "our" song with the person I was with at the time. It's on my favorites list on my Ipod, and I feel a little (a lot) guilty whenever I hear it, because spouse and I (we met in 1990) don't have "a song."

If you asked my DH if we had a "song", he'd say it was Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze", which was originally recorded in 1966, when I was 5 y.o., and he was 19. :wtf:

Ahhh, the memories of being 20-something.

[Bake]

50. It's gotta be said: AFTERNOON DELIGHT!!
