This is a contest I am having with 6-6...( okay let's be real...he's a teenager- expert on ALL music...so I am screwed...) But that being said....HERE is my nomination...yes...Duran Duran......yeah,..Almost None of the their songs is available to Embed ( boy that sounds funny...) Sooooooo Here is my Nomination- an Unreleased Version of "Reach up for the Sunrise"... I am betting 6-6 picks Foreigner.... So WHO do you think was the best 80's Band ??
( photo is Harry waiting for Keith to come on ( he likes to snuggle up with the TV and yes, this is my son's cat- the 7 pound wonder that we saved summer of 2007....and NOW he weighs 19 pounds...yup..well loved...)
Have a Good Night ...be back later...
Oh you know you will lose to 6-6 and then that 19-lb sweetheart of a cat will sit on your chest and laugh, HAH!
ReplyDeleteI can't play. For me, the 80's was kind of a wasteland of music that I tuned out. When U2 came along, I started listening again.
We had friends who were listening to Foreigner & Journey & Toto, which I would try to drown out with Queen or The Cars as being the farthest forward I could reach after the 60-70's. until U2 ...
You will laugh at me: Yaz. I loved Yaz w/ Alison Moyet. Um..English Beat? Depeche Mode? Heaven 17? LOL, I am undone.

You are sooooo funny...I loved many bands...yes the 80s.....But you are right when U2 came ....kabbammmm...wow.....
I'm with DK-- I kind of draw a blank, but I cheated & did a Google search for 80's music to refresh what is left of my memory!
ReplyDeleteAgainst the Wind - Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band - really liked the song- " Night Moves"
Really liked his style, tight music & well delivered lyrics
The Wall - Pink Floyd
We don't need no thought control
Celebration - Kool And The Gang
Ceeeeeelebrate good times - come on!
don't think that song will ever go away
“Eye of the Tiger,” Survivor
Kind of sounded like Jefferson Starship
Synchronicity - The Police
Great music
Owner Of A Lonely Heart - Yes
I really loved the band YES .
What's Love Got To Do With It - Tina Turner
Tina took her life back & went on to be a huge success.
“Money for Nothing,” Dire Straits
Get your kicks for free!
With Or Without You - U2
Sweet!
Some of the tunes/bands listed in the late 80's were serious duds.
Also in that genre was the We are the World- collaboration. Guess that won a bunch of awards, etc.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
Dire Straits - Mark Knopfler's guitar work mesmerizes me.
ReplyDeleteThe Rolling Stones.
Ok - that one needs some explanation. Back in the late 90's, my (then) teenaged daughter who also "knew eveything" about music told me that I knew nothing about music, that I only liked "Lame 80's Bands like The Rolling Stones" and that I knew nothing about "New music like Greenday or Weezer or....
Aerosmith"
Slowly I turned
Step by step
INCH by INCH
to my well-stocked vinyl record shelf... the "A" section... and pulled out my well-worn copy of Toys In The Attic.
"HuMPH - well, that is OLD Aerosmith"
Cue mom laughing... (She HATES it when I tell that story now...)
