Did Prince write this thread's title?

[cricket]

Mr. Blue and I agree-Borderline is a very good tune.

Right on Track is a great tune.

I just love posting this picture

[gbgoodies]

"The Heat Is On" is a great song.

[Citizen Rules]

I gave you a rep:p So far pretty good choices. Though Right on Track video wouldn't play. Probably my computer. I never heard of it anyway.

[Derek Vinyard]

+rep for The Police !

[gbgoodies]

I only know a handful of songs by The Police, but "Wrapped Around Your Finger" is one of them, and I like it, so you got another + rep.

[gbgoodies]

I remember when I first heard "Too Late for Goodbyes", I expected Julian Lennon to become as big a star as his father. I don't know what happened to him, but I would have liked to have heard more from him. I thought he was very good.

[cricket]

Send Me An Angel is an absolute gem.

I like the Julian Lennon song too.

Never been crazy about that Police song.

[Derek Vinyard]

+rep for Too Late for Goodbyes very good song !

[Citizen Rules]

I only know a handful of songs by The Police, but "Wrapped Around Your Finger" is one of them, and I like it, so you got another + rep.

Back in the day I seen The Police in concert for their Synchronicity Tour...opening wasThe Thompson Twins and The Fixx. It was a good show.

[cricket]

I'm not familiar with that one

[honeykid]

The Heat Is On and Borderline. :cool:

[cricket]

Not crazy about that one

[Derek Vinyard]

+rep For Mick Jagger (H) and Elton !

[Citizen Rules]

I'm not crazy about the last 2.

[honeykid]

Yeah, I really do. I have it written down. :D

[Swan]

WE GOT THE BEAT!

[Citizen Rules]

Alright! I seen the Go-Gos too...at a very small venue when there first single just came out.

[honeykid]

Strangely I've never been a fan of the Go-Go's. However, that's one of the few that worked for me. :up: Hope there's some later Belinda Carlise coming up. Did she ever grow up. :randy:

[cricket]

We Got the Beat and Our House are major 80's staples, I've always loved them.

[cricket]

Another great one; it always makes me think of Madeleine Stowes ass.

[honeykid]

Don't forget that this is the list of a man who won Song Tournament six times.

Runner up twice.

What's that got to do with anything?

+ rep for the last two.

I've listened to this album countless times.

[honeykid]

All Night Long is a song I liked a hell of a lot more back then than I do now. It's OK but I usually get sick of listening to it before it finishes.

Tone Loc Wild Thing? Much better. :cool:

[The Gunslinger45]

An avalanche of 80s music!

[gbgoodies]

Now you're back on track. I love "Sunglasses at Night". Corey Hart is one of my favorite non-country singers.

[gbgoodies]

"All She Wants to Do Is Dance" isn't my favorite Don Henley song, but it's still a good song, and he's got a great voice.

[honeykid]

Sunglasses At Night is OK. It's certainly 80's, though. :cool: Boys Of Summer is much better.

Never much of a Springsteen fan, but Glory Days is OK. I can listen to it.

[gbgoodies]

I was going to put "The Boys of Summer" up but it's not available on Youtube. But this is just as good.


"The Boys of Summer" is a much better song, and it's on Vimeo:

http://vimeo.com/38296751

[gbgoodies]

Springsteen is another singer that I only know a handful of his songs, but I like "Glory Days" so I gave you + rep for it.

[honeykid]

I've not heard that before, but I like it. :)

[honeykid]

Sheila E never really made it over here, but that certainly is 80's.

[honeykid]

I was going to do a countdown of songs I admit to liking, which no one else likes/admits to liking and this was one of them. :D

[honeykid]

That's just a great song. :up:

[VFN]

I think the only way I'm going to make it through this thread is with an '80s airbag. :D

[honeykid]

Thank you for reminding of this song's existence. :up:

[Swan]

You officially ruined this list by including "We Built This City".

[honeykid]

Not heard this, either, but I quite like it.

[Swan]

Genesis rocks. Here's my favorite song of theirs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pteh5hdZlg

[gbgoodies]

Three good songs. I remember reading somewhere that "We Built This City" was voted the worst song ever, but I have no idea why. I think it's a great song.

I'm hit and miss on Michael Jackson songs, but I think "Human Nature" is one of his better songs.

"I Can Dream About You" is probably the only Dan Hartman song that I've ever heard, but I like it, so that makes three more + reps for you for picking good songs. :)

[honeykid]

Surely not.

I've never heard that song before, but it looks and sounds like it's from the 1970s. If it wasn't for the fact that the title of the video shows his name, I wouldn't even think it was the same guy.

[Swan]

I don't know how you do it, Sexy. I made three posts in my thread and got tired.

[honeykid]

Wow, I can't believe you hadn't heard that before. You're not 20 are you? ;)

Hungry Like The Wolf is a fantastic track. Another that I listen to fairly regularly.

Walk Of Life's a good song, too. I have the single somewhere. I think I liked it mostly for the video. :D

[honeykid]

The 80's tournament is the only one I was really sad to miss out on. I'm not even a big 80's fan, but there was so much to nominate.

[Swan]

My list would be full of that obnoxious Kate Bush.

[honeykid]

Why didn't you send in an '80s list???

You were too quick off the mark and it'd already started before I got the chance. Still voted in it, though.

[gbgoodies]

Wow, I can't believe you hadn't heard that before. You're not 20 are you? ;)



:laugh: No, I'm not 20. I'm 48, but I mostly listen to country music so my non-country songs are mostly limited to what I heard on the Top 40 Countdown every week.

[honeykid]

More great 80's pop. I love this song.

[Swan]

This thread is actually by The Artist Formerly Known as Sexy Celebrity.

[honeykid]

No, that's the 90's SC. ;)

[Swan]

No, that's the 90's SC. ;)

Dammit, you're right. Nevermind.

[Swan]

How do you like my new get-up?

[gbgoodies]

I got a little side-tracked, but I'm catching up now.

A friend introduced me to Duran Duran's music back in the 80s, so I've heard a bunch of their songs. (She had a huge crush on the lead singer.) "Hungry Like The Wolf" is one of their better songs. I also like "Is There Something I Should Know", "Rio", and "Wild Boys" by Duran Duran.

I've only heard 2 or 3 Dire Straits songs, but I think they're all on the "Brothers in Arms" album. I like "Walk of Life" and "Money for Nothing".

The movie Footloose had some great music, and "Let's Hear It for the Boy" is no exception. It's one of a bunch of great songs on the soundtrack.

[gbgoodies]

Both "Footloose" and "Let's Hear It For The Boy" came in first and second place in the Prom Night Song Tournament.


That must have been before I got here. I never saw that tournament.

[honeykid]

One of the few post 70's Bowie tracks I like.

[honeykid]

Yeah, I'm all messed up atm. Thinking of going to bed in an hour or so.

[honeykid]

It's not that, though that's not helping. :D It's my sleep pattern. It's shot.

Anyway, love Take On Me and it's a great video, too. Another song/group I heard all the time because my sister was a big fan.

[gbgoodies]

I love "Take On Me". It's probably my favorite non-country song from the 1980s, and it has an awesome video.

[Swan]

That guy looks like the singer of Tokyo Hotel.

[honeykid]

For the longest time I thought that was a cover version of a 70's disco song, because I was/am sure that I knew it before I ever heard it. Even now, when I know it's an original song, I can remember singing along with the chorus the first time I remember hearing it.

[gbgoodies]

Swan, why did you change your avatar again? Didn't you just change it to the Cherry Coke avatar a little while ago?

[honeykid]

Yeah, I preferred the Cherry Coke one.

[Swan]

Swan, why did you change your avatar again? Didn't you just change it to the Cherry Coke avatar a little while ago?

I've been getting too jokey and immature lately, and that (as well as the Michael Scott avatar, as much as I loved it) wasn't helping. So I went with something a little more serious, with the intention of getting my sh*t together.

What's wrong with being "jokey and immature"? It's fun to let loose once in a while and just enjoy yourself. This is a chat board, not a job. It should be fun.

[Swan]

I just want to clean up a bit, that's all.

[Swan]

I could pull a honeykid...

[honeykid]

Now I'm listening to the Tommy Valentine version. :D

[gbgoodies]

I like the soda avatars. I think it's a cute idea.

[gbgoodies]

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Billy Joel. It doesn't matter what song he sings. He's always fantastic. And he's from Long Island. :D

[Swan]

Dancing with Myself is classic.

[gbgoodies]

I was wanting to change my avatar earlier (again) .... and I didn't know what to use. So I looked at the Mello Yello can beside me. And I knew.

And then I made everyone else do it, too.


Somehow I just knew that it had to be your idea. :)

[honeykid]

My mum loved that song. I've seen the video a lot. :D

[gbgoodies]

This is one of my favorite Billy Joel songs. I think it's a very underrated song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhJg1finpyU

[honeykid]

It's like Al Pacino and Sly Stallone had a lovechild. :D And, for our British viewers of a certain age, there's more than a touch of Lionel Blair, too and weird, creepy young Bill Bailey. That vid is funny, too. :up:

I'm not a fan of Level 42, but Lessons In Love is a good song.

[honeykid]

Not Heaven Is A Place On Earth or Circle In The Sand greatness, but a fun pop song nonetheless. That, and look at her. My God. Not quite stone cold vixen yet, but still.

[honeykid]

Love Bananarama. :) I had such a crush on Karen. She ended up marrying Andrew Ridgeley.

[gbgoodies]

Is Andrew Ridgeley the other guy from Wham?

[honeykid]

Is Andrew Ridgeley the other guy from Wham?
Yes.

[honeykid]

I'd not heard that before. It's a pretty solid 80's pop song. When I think of Jermaine Jackson I instantly think Big Brother.

[gbgoodies]

Getting all stressed!!! Only have 9 song spots left.


You can always add a bunch of "Honorable Mentions" after you reach #50.

[honeykid]

Not a fan of Grace. Sorry.

[christine]

wow Sexy you've been busy! Not got time to look now as I'm off to work but will read your whole thread later :)

I was thinking of doing a 1970s favourite songs one as that's my era. Looked at 1970 and got nearly 50 from that year alone. Is that too boring to do so many songs from each year? the years split in threads a few weeks apart of course, or shall I do more work and get the whole 1970s down to 100 songs?

[honeykid]

Not heard that one, either. Didn't like it. It sounded like bargin basement Police.

[honeykid]

Now that's a song you know I love. Great song. Great film.

[honeykid]

There's some great songs on that album. That's one of them.

[gbgoodies]

Okay, it looks like you're back on track again. I like both Paul Young and Joe Jackson. "Steppin' Out" is my favorite Joe Jackson song, but my favorite Paul Young song is "Every Time You Go Away". But "Come Back and Stay" is a good song too.

[gbgoodies]

Prepare yourself. I'm about to get off track.


Yeah, WAAAAY off track. :yup:

[gbgoodies]

As I said before, I only know a few songs by The Police, but "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" is another one, and it's another good one.

And in case anyone's curious, Prince could not be included because he removes all of his songs that people upload to Youtube.


Sometimes if you search Google Videos you can find his songs elsewhere on the net, like Vimeo or DailyMotion.

[christine]

Look forward to listening while I'm in my office later :)

[cricket]

I had to go to bed so I couldn't keep up. A lot more 80's favorites, especially Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic, Cruel Summer, Uptown Girl, Dancing With Myself, You Spin Me Round, Take On Me, Hungry Like the Wolf, Der Kommissar, The Glamorous Life, and Sunglasses at Night. The only one that I never really liked is We Built This City.

[christine]

Sexy , well done. It must've taken ages!
My favourites are - Our House, Rhythm is Gonna Get You, Steppin Out, Glory Days, Walk of Life, Little Lies, Rhythm Nation, The Heat is On, Human Nature and Every Little Thing She Does.

The one I like the most is Genesis - Tonight, Tonight, Tonight :)
The one I really don't like is the Yoko Ono one.

[honeykid]

Honeykid left and he didn't even tell me he was going. I thought the British were supposed to have good manners.

The last place you were active was the MOFO chill thread, so I posted there to tell you I was going to bed. I even addressed you personally.

Well, the list fell away at the end for me, but Steppin' Out is a stone cold classic. I love that song.

Never been a big fan of The Police and Everything Little Thing is OK but I usually turn it off before the end.

It was a fun list, though. :)
