Only 80s

Ok! Here is the topic. We put some video music about the 80s, anyone can tell us about some story he lived or whatever about the 80s.






Tarzan Boy
Baltimora

Campest song of the 80's, can anyone beat this.

Loved the 80s. Big hair, bigger shoulder pads, bright colors and cocaine and alcohol were everywhere. What's not to love?

SB were you ever down Miami in the era of the cocaine cowboy shit?

It wasn't much for music (as decades go) but I liked the '80s for some fun songs. Cyndi Lauper was fun!! Music should be fun!

How much was a 4 1/2 back then?

I liked Elton John back then! I'm a RocketMan too sometimes!

Rick Astley was good too!

I love "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." Whenever my daughters are around and IF that song comes on, we all tend to get giddy and dance around.

This one from 83, reminds me of being new here in CA and between working, finding sitters, and various other things, it became my personal theme song for a while. "She Works Hard For The Money", Donna Summer. Love it.

I was more into New Wave back then - B52s, Devo, Ramones, Squeeze, The Cars, The Police, Blondie. Pat Benatar was my idol. It was fun music that you could dance to without the douchiness of disco.

Hey! Be easy on disco.

It was mostly the guys that were douchey, not necessarily the music.

Certainly not the BeeGees!

I meant the guys in the clubs, those Tony Manero wannabes!

I spent my teenage years in the '80's. I had long hair and was possibly a touch gormless. The music i have to say...was pretty shit

Miami Vice was my favourite show though!

Hey, they were just trying to score. At least they were dressed nice.

I loved Depeche Mode. Still love them. It's a shame that Alan Wilder left the band. Perfect 80s for me.

Were???? Were, are and will be in every corner!!!

Especially the opening where the girls in their bikinis jiggled along.

Best song of the 80's..

I think you and me are like brothers from different mothers MC

Touring again:

Strange thing: In the 80s I discovered long established musicians perhaps in their worst period.
- Rolling Stones: Undercover of the night
- Phil Collins: You can't hurry love
- David Bowie: Let's dance
- Elton John: I guess that's what they call is the blues
etc.

Anyway, I still like "Undercover"

I grew up in the 80s. They say the best music is always from the era one grew up in. So for me, the music in the 80s was the best!

Do you guys remember this one: Bananarama and "Cruel summer"?



Hot summer streets
And the pavements are burning
I sit around

Trying to smile
But the air is so heavy and dry

Strange voices are saying
What did they say
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got right out of hand

It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone

The city is crowded
My friends are away
And I'm on my own

It's too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go

It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel,
It's a cruel cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel,
It's a cruel cruel summer
Now you're gone

It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel,
It's a cruel cruel summer
Now you're gone
You're not the only one

Foreigner.

I want to know what love is.



More powerful than this one...Nobody or nothing can´t be!!!



I am going to go to see Foreigner in a live concert this Sunday! Although the singer is Kelly Hansen... Lou Gramm come back!

Whatever happened to Lou Gramm??

He had a type of brain tumor in the 90s. He removed succesfully, but the rehabilitation was hard and slow. So he took medicine which eventually made him gain weight and caused some trouble in his singing. How ever I think he had the best performance ever in 2002 in the night of the proms. He left Foreigner in 2002 in bad terms with Mick Jones. However they are reuniting in a few months for the Songwriting Hall.


I saw Foreigner last night! It was good!

How about Crime Story and Wiseguy? Two of the best series ever!
