Old School Part II (White Music)
O.K.,,, Don't laugh, but I went to a predominately white school where all they listened to was artists like Debbie Gibson, George Micheal, ect... I know we have had MANY Discissions on Old School, but I want to know how many people out there listened to Old School (White Music?)
I guess I will start this out by stating that I love: Eurythmics (Sp?) Sweet Dreams, Here comes the rain again George Micheal: Father Figure, Faith, WHAM: Careless Whisper Phil Collins: Against All Odds, One more Night, In the Air Tonight, Groovy Kind of Love, Easy Lover The Carrs: Drive Boy George: Carmacameleon (sp?) Debbie Gigson: Out of the Blue, Lost in YOur Eyes, Only in your Dreams, Maddona: True Blue, Like a Virgin, Material Girl, Into the Groove Nikky French: Total Eclipse From the Heart Blondie: Heart of Glass Hewy Lewis and the News: Heart and Soul, If this is it, actually all of their songs The Police: Every Breath You Take Duran Duran: Lets Dance Cindy Lauper: Girls Just wanna have Fun, Time after Time, True Colors, Into the Night, and the List goes ON, and ON, and ON!!!! My fiance' thinks that I am stuck in the 80's but hey what can I say..... I love this kind of Music, even though I get STRANGE looks when I blast in on stereo. The funny thing is,, is that after people make fun of me, they start singing and dancing to the music as well!!! [This message has been edited by DableST_1 (edited June 15, 2001).] |

This is too funny. I love all the artists mentioned. I know I'm not the only that loves to catch an ol' school "white" song on the radio and/or video.
Ummm, EVERY black person LOVED Hall 'n Oats. Don't act like ya'll don't remember them: "I can't go for that, no, nooooo...no can do," and countless other songs that SOME black folks THINK were sung by black folks. |
Before my parents got cable (BET & MTV), I used to watch the video show on TBS called "Night Tracks".
My favs- Tears for Fears- Everybody wants to rule the world Cyndi Lauper- True Colors Samantha Fox (although she sung with Full Force, she was white)- Naughty Girls, Touch Me, I wanna have some fun Blondie- Heart of Glass Nu Shooz- I can't wait Teena Marie- Lovergirl, Ooh la la la Hall & Oates- I can't go for that, Sara smile Bananarama- Venus |
OOOHHHHH you did NOT go there with Night Tracks on TBS! LMAO!! I used to watch it too & I used to try & stay up past SNL to watch Friday Night Videos.

I remember listening to:
Pink Floyd-"The Wall" Pet Shop Boys-West End Girls Hall & Oats-Everything from Sara Smile to Maneater Stevie Nicks- Your So Vain The Bangles-Walk Like An Egpytian The Human League The Breakfast Club Huey and the News Teena Marie-Square Biz Red Angel Nothing But Crimson and Cream ------------------ |
You guys have named mainly all of the good oldies. I used to love "Let's Dance" and Sweet Dreams". Annie Lenox could blow!!!
I liked Robert Palmer when he came out with his video "Addicted to Love" (remember the women with the suits and guitars??). c&c 1913, I used to rock my Samantha Fox "Naughty Girls" with Bow-Legged Lou!!! I also loved: "Total Eclipse of the Heart" "Walk Like an Egyptian" |
I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one who likes some white groups and their music http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif It's great to see that it's okay to be diversified in our tastes in music. I attended a predominately white high school, a HBCU (SC State University)for undergrad, and a mixed university (Webster University) for grad school so I got a taste of both worlds so to speak. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I was into KC and the Sunshine Band (when they were out), Darryl Hall & John Oates, Karen Carpenter (now she's old-old school), David Bowie, Adam Ant, the Eurethimics (exuse the spelling), the band that sings "Black Velvet", Pat Benetar, Stevie Nicks (she's an ALL-TIME favorite. I still enjoy her songs), Journey, Madonna, and the list can go on and on.

One of my favorite movies from the 80s is 16 candles. I still have to watch it whenever it is on!
|
Remember 99 RED or Luft Balloons by Nena?

Awww man IotaNet, you got me hype now.
Speaking about more music: Motley Crue: Home Sweet Home, Wild Side, Kick Start My Heart, Without You Everyone: How about Jefferson Starship: We Built This City On Rock and Roll something like that This is gonna throw yall, what about disco music? I wasn't even alive at the time, but the Bee Gee's were jammin. If any of you all have ever watched Saturday Night Fever or Staying Alive, yall will know what I'm talking about. |

Lord when I saw this post I was like they are calling my name. What about Falco's "Rock me Amadeus" Whitesnake, " Our House" by Madness and "Fascination" & "Human" by the Human League. On Saturdays as I clean up, I put on all my 80s cds and crank it up.
