Great songs from the 70's & 80's
 

I was just inspired by AI4 in which the contestants sang songs from the year they were born (all in the 70's and 80's) so I thought it might be fun to list some of our faves.


Love is a Battlefield by Pat Benatar

Dancing Queen by ABBA (my dad HATES this song while my mom and I LOVE it)

Is this a "one at a time"?

My Sharona

Totally doesn't matter to me, I just only thought of two right now. I didn't want to list all my faves otherwise the thread would be over rather quickly.



I love the song My Sharona, I did a cheer dance to it. LOL.

Then you'll like "Oh, Mickey, You're So Fine!" too!

OMG I love that song!!!!!



I love the song Heaven is a Place on Earth. I couldn't tell you who sings it, but I love it. I'm a total child of the 80's so I need to think back on my "faves". LOL

Belinda Carlise sings the Heaven song.
I used to have it on one of those really small records and would play it on my Fisher Price record player, all dressed up in "dress-up" clothes, and dance around my family room. (Yes, I am a child of the '80's!)

Favorite Song:
I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by the Proclaimers, originally released in 1988.

The "classic" Bon Jovi:
-Livin on a Prayer
-You give love a bad name

And then:
-Disco Inferno
-Most stuff by Earth Wind and Fire
-Love Shack

Madonna:
-Like a Virgin
-Material Girl
-Celebrate

That is basically my "work music" CD right there :)

she's still touring - and sounds great!

Pat will be on tour this summer, and still sounds GREAT! And as a side note, her husband Neil Giraldo, scored the upcoming movie "Smile"

Re: she's still touring - and sounds great!
 

One of my great memories from the 80's is being on a yacht on East River, listening to Pat Benatar playing live from the pier! :) Good times.

Hungry Like the Wolf is a personal fave!

ASUADPi-If you like Abba, and you haven't seen "Mamma Mia!" you MUST go!!! You'll be dancing in the aisles to almost every Abba song ever written, and the finale is, of course-"Dancing Queen!!!"


As to the songs, Lord, girls I was raising two small kids in the 80, but-don't laugh- I love the song by George Michael, "Careless Whisper."

Too Shy Shy (I think that is the name of it)

And I was a Duran Duran Fan. < REFLEX

I loved 80's music.

"Come On, Eileen" - Dexie's Midnight Rovers

"Smoke From A Distant Fire" - Sanford Townsend Band

Oh I have a long list but I'll only post a few...



Do You Really Want to Hurt Me (can we say Wedding Singer!LOL)

Blue Monday


and my personal favorite....


Don't Worry, Be Happy (LOL)

Not sure of the name, but I love the closing song from Ferris Bueller's Day Off!! (Oh, yeah!)

All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You- Heart
Tell It to My Heart- Taylor Dayne
Papa Don't Preach- Madonna
Thriller-Jacko
Saving all My Love-Whittey
Supersonic-JJFAD

More Than Words---Extreme

Take On Me--A-Ha

I loved Oh, Mickey!!! That was a big song for cheering... I think its stuck in my head now... Oh, DH is in trouble today!!!!

One of my personal faves - Video Killed the Radio Star. I used to love MTV... back when they played videos... stopped watching when they brought back a 2nd season of Real World. Man, I sound OLD...:(

BIG TIME CRASH
 

Crashing....
(one of my fave subjects)
ANYTHING by Duran Duran! Saw them live when I was 16. Yowza! Sistermadly and I saw them this past March...they still look hella good!

Anything by Madonna during the 80s...how many of us wanted to be her back then? :D

Whitney Houston's debut album...boy I had some good memories with that one :D

Culture Club...loved some Boy George and the album "Kissing to Be Clever" and "Colour by Numbers"

Prince 1999

Cyndi Lauper "She's So Unusual" CD. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Time after Time

Bryan Adams "Cuts Like a Knife" and "Reckless" albums--saw him in concert during that time

"We Got the Beat" The Go Gos

"King of Pain" by the Police

Bon Jovi "Slippery When Wet" (saw them live during that time too)

Def Leppard "Pour Some Sugar On Me"

"Looks that Kill" by Motley Crue

Marvin Gaye: "Sexual Healing" and "Let's Get It On". I still remember where I was when I heard the news about his death

Rick James "Super Freak"

Such Kick azz music during that time. Y'all got me wanting to burn a CD! :D

Jenny (867-5309)

Please pardon my big time crash as well. I too am such the devoté to "my music". I actually have on a mix tape of 70's and 80's music right now.

I also hear myself channeling my patents when I talk to the 'youth of today' as I say stuff like: "You kids today don't know what music is if it came up and bit you. Now music from the 70s and 80s... now THAT was music."

In any case, if I may, here are a few of my favorite love/make-out songs (as the case may be) from that wonderful era.

"Wuthering Heights" - Miss Kate Bush
"I Drove All Night" - Miss Cyndi Lauper
"More Than This" - Roxy Music
"True" - Spandau Ballet
"Our Love" - Miss Donna Summer
"It's My Life" - Talk Talk
