So I want to give some 80's music a try, but don't really know that much of it. I'm into songs that are like poppish, like "Don't You Forget About Me" by Simple Minds and "All Out of Love" by Air Supply. Helppppppppppppp.

JG is the go-to guy for cheesy 80's pop... right DB? Okay, first of all, if you like "All Out of Love," you'll also like some other Air Supply songs, so check 'em out. "Even The Nights Are Better," "Here I Am," and "The One That You Love" are some of their famous ones. Here are a few more: Forever Young-- by Alphaville Melt With You-- by Modern English Still Loving You-- by the Scorpions Holiday-- by the Scorpions I Want to Know What Love Is-- by Foreigner Cold As Ice-- by Foreigner Africa-- by Toto I Just Died In Your Arms-- by Cutting Crew? Not sure. Keep On Loving You-- by REO Speedwagon Can't Fight This Feeling-- by REO Speedwagon Just What I Needed-- by The Cars You're All I've Got Tonight-- by The Cars Don't Stop Believin'-- by Journey Faithfully-- by Journey Open Arms-- by Journey Wheel In The Sky-- by Journey More Than A Feeling-- by Boston Amanda-- by Boston A Man I'll Never Be-- by Boston Babe-- by Styx (right JG? :p ) The Promise-- by When in Rome Need You Tonight-- by INXS Never Tear Us Apart-- by INXS The Loved One-- by INXS Also, try the soundtrack to The Wedding Singer, and absolutely anything that Chicago or Peter Cetera released in the 80's. And then let me know what you think, even if all you're gonna do is laugh at this side of my musical taste!

Patrick, is that you???? Wow, the 80's. The last decade in which I actually enjoyed and followed lot of the music. Anyway, lot of good suggestions. I always enjoyed Journey (Faithfully is great), The Cars, ZZTop, David Bowie was good in the 80's. And Air Supply's "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" is beautiful. Oh, and remember the short lived, "Men At Work" (Who Can It Be)?? There were a lot of one hit wonder songs that I liked. I'll try to think of more later. It's too early to think too hard. :p TIS Oh, and the Rolling Stones some great tunes & videos in the 80's: Waiting On A Friend, Dancing In The Street (with David Bowie), Start Me Up.....and on and on.

WARNING: STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE'S 80's MUSIC!
They may have been good and may be good once again in modern times, but man, the 80's damn near killed these folks.
-Bob Dylan
-Neil Young (Unless it's Freedom, or Hawks and Doves)
-Paul McCartney (Unless it's Pipes of Peace)
-The Rolling Stones

Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.

I NEED MORE. I think I am a modern day hippie.. and it feels good. Well I've always kind of loathed the music of the 80s, but, basing off of those artists, I would check out some Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Velvet Underground, The Clash, Sex Pistols, etc... Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands, so I'd reccomend getting into more of their stuff. Their sound and style tends to change up frequently, so I would check out any album you can get your hands on. Alot of the stuff they did before Darkside of the Moon is very cool... it's quite unique and ground breaking. (Atom Heart Mother and Meddle are superb albums, but often over looked). I'd also love to hear what you think of Radiohead; my personal favorite band, but an aqquired taste. They've been doing some really revolutionary stuff lately, and are basically the modern day equivilency of Pink Floyd. I would reccomend checking out their album, "OK Computer", which has kind of a 1970s prog-rock/psychedelic feel to it, mixed in with some 90s alternative. And if you enjoy that, I would reccomend Kid A (which has been refered to as "Radiohead's Darkside of the Moon"), which is a very obscure album, and maybe even a little hard to get into. It expiriments with alot of electronics and new sounds... but if you can tolerate 80s pop, then I think you could tolerate Kid A. It's genious once you get into it... I'd give it at least two or three listens before you finally judge it.

The Fabulous Thunderbirds and Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble.
Also, see if you can dig up a copy of "The Traveling Wilburys", a one-album band that comprised of Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne, and George Harrison.

I agree with P.L. on The Travelling Wilburys. Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty in the same band?! Forget about it! Handle Me With Care...great track!
Also, you should check out: Bryan Adams, Phill Collins/Peter Gabriel/Genesis, Aerosmith, Crowded House, Def Leppard, Guns 'N Roses, Kenny Loggins, Queen, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Richard Marx, Rush, Simon & Garfunkel, Bruce Springsteen, Sting/The Police, Tears For Fears, The Tragically Hip, Twisted Sister and U2.
Or, for more Poppy stuff: Madonna, Michael Jackson (sure, he may be a child molestin sicko, but Thriller, Beat It and Dangerous ((90s I know)) were very good albums), Cindy Lauper, Prince, Stevie Wonder and the like.

Actually, Plaw, the Wilbury's made two albums, Vol. 1 and Vol. 3 (I know, I have both :p ). Nonetheless, they had some good songs, but some of their tracks are...hard to listen to. Also, most of the members had collaboration on others' solo albums (Tom Petty's Full Moon Fever for instance, Jeff Lynne on a couple of George's solo albums), so the Wilbury sound exists on many albums besides the original Vol. 1 and Vol. 3.

His vocals were a big part of the thing, and it really wasn't anywhere near the same group without him.

Now. [/b] Great song... My favorite Floyd song, actually. DV, have you heard the Pompeii version? There are a few versions floating around, but I think that could be one of the best, along side the original studio version. But, I think--especially during that funky bassline Roger plays towards the end of part I--Pompeii pretty much beats the majority of the rest into submission.

I sure am behind on my dubbing of film and music. I haven't even done Darkside of the Moon to Oz yet. :p
Oz the television show. I... I just love watching man-sex to symphonic goodness of "Us and Them". I can't quite explain it...

Well, what I like to do is get a whole bunch of "money", so I can buy a whole lot of "time" with a hooker. I'll work something out, and her panties will be "any colour I like". She'll "speak to me" and say dirty things. We'll make love all night, and we'll both "breathe" real hard. Afterwords, I'll pay her, and she'll enjoy a nice line of cocaine; but she'll overdose and suffer irreversible "brain damage" before dying and heading off for "the great gig in the sky". Finally, with a dead hooker on my floor, and cocaine spread out on my table, the police will come knocking on my door. Between my dead hooker, myself, and the cops, it'll just be "us and them". I'll never survive in prison, and I know this, so at this point I'll be "on the run". When I finally outrun the police, I'll be panting loudly, and have a little "breathe reprise". In the end though, I'll have the satisfaction of a good hooker, a nice run, all of which will come to a close by me watching the moon "eclipse". And the funny thing is, my original intention was to only write the first sentence of this message and then post...
