I hope you don't mind me playing catch up and recapping some of the vocalist you listed on page 1 and 2.
Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders)
Growing up in the 1970s and 1980s, I loved to listen to music on the radio. Once MTV hit the scene, it was a big deal because you music with video. One of the first videos I remember from MTV was "Brass In Pocket" by The Pretenders. The Pretenders hit the scene in 1970's within the punk rock and new wave movement.
They had hits with "Don't Me Wrong", "Back On The Chain Gang", "Message of Love" and "Brass In Pocket".
I remember when my high school friend's parents got cable and in between the movies on Showtime they played music videos, that was before MTV was created. Of all the videos I seen I was enamored with Chrissie Hynde and the song Brass In Pocket. I had 2 of their albums, well cassette tapes really, and listen to them all the time. I liked all those songs you listed I also remember
Talk of the Town being good.
Pat Benatar
Pat hit the scene in the late 1970's. Her voice was a unique one, she is a mezzo-soprano. Her first hit from 1980, "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", shot her to popularity. She has had countless hits, such as "Hell Is For Children", "Fire and Ice", "Shadows of The Night", "We Belong" and countless others.
I was in High School and the local radio station was having a Rising Stars concert series and for $2 you could see a rising star in a small venue in Seattle. I remember saying to my classmates, "are you guys going to see Pat Benatar?" Their reply was "uhh, who's he."...I didn't go to that concert but I seen Pat a couple years latter in another small venue with Bryan Adams opening. Good times.
