pdalley Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I remember Kylie but I liked her 'If I should be so lucky..' better than Locomotion. And I've been a Olivia fan from way back. My favorite of hers is Back to Clapton - my favorites are his heavy blues stuff and even that stalker song Layla. :D DH is a fan of his Cream era and I like that too but I adore the blues. I think that's why I liked RATT so much - a lot of their stuff was heavy blues. (And probably why I liked Richie Sambora's solo work better than most of his Bon Jovi stuff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) I remember Kylie but I liked her 'If I should be so lucky..' better than Locomotion. Ah, I didn't know this one. I had to look it up on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnOvjWXhpkI Thanks for bringing it up. :) And I've been a Olivia fan from way back. My favorite of hers is I had forgotten that one! lol Thanks for the link. :) Totally Hot was the first album from Olivia that I had (well technically it was my sister's), but I loved her all throughout the 80's.

I think that's why I liked RATT so much - a lot of their stuff was heavy blues. (And probably why I liked Richie Sambora's solo work better than most of his Bon Jovi stuff) Yeah Layla is a great song. I agree with you about the blues. It's always been one of my favorite genres ever since I was a kid. I listen to ALL kinds of music. Seriously, I will listen to just about anything, but I think where I'm always happiest is listening to blues based rock with (headphones of course. :D) Here. This is for you. (and me too. Love this song :) ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGZeqwdWoeo&feature=related And since we're with Steve Winwood I just GOTTA throw in Dear Mr. Fantasy from his Traffic days. :) Love that song. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_nwbTeIN4Y Man his eyes are like saucers in that video.

DH says the best part of the Clapton concert comes when he appears to be fooling around and then hits the opening riff of Layla.... I love Richie's vocals cause he's got a rough gritty voice. Jon was always too pretty to me. This is my favorite from his first one: and this has that bluesy feel I love so much: His second album was a bit too polished to me.

DH says the best part of the Clapton concert comes when he appears to be fooling around and then hits the opening riff of Layla.... LOL Yes! I saw one video where he was performing live and he was noodling around with the guitar like he was tuning it up and then he started into Layla and the bass player literally jumped he was so startled. It was so funny. hehehe I love Richie's vocals cause he's got a rough gritty voice. Jon was always too pretty to me. I know exactly what you mean. I used to have such a crush on him back in the day. Everyone else loved Jon, and granted he's a cutie, but I liked Richie best. I remember watching interviews with them on MTV and VH1 and I would just die when Richie would talk. :) lol This is my favorite from his first one: and this has that bluesy feel I love so much: His second album was a bit too polished to me. These are great! Thank you so much for sharing them. I'd never heard his solo work. I love the break that he gets in his voice when he sings. I think I'm going to buy this album. :) Thanks so much for the recommendation. :) yeah, I'm diggin that blues guitar too in the second song. :) Sweet. He looks like he's channeling Stevie Ray with that hat and that guitar. :D lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we have the movie that recently came out. Yes I have seen them. More than once. That's all I am willing to admit to. My husband LOVES Rush!!! I never really got it, maybe because he was a product of the 80's?? I love the 80's too, but I was born in '74, so I remember more of the late 80's as part of my "hey day" ;) I can't believe I missed this thread!!

Ibbygirl Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 okay, back to some pop here for you pop princesses :) I've always loved Cyndi Lauper. She was just so wonderfully weird and marching to the beat of her own drum. Her videos were always so bright and colorful and ran the gamut from fun and whimsical to pulling on your heart strings. Enjoy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4besitos Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I'm glad to see Billy Idol up there...I almost broke my leg more than once running down the stairs to see his videos!!!! We were in a small town on the west coast and didn't get Mtv til the end of my high school years. My sister and I about wore out the vinyl on our Total Eclipse single....yes, I clearly remember walking to the store to buy the latest single for the record player. I must have blocked out the video because that is definitely creepy!!! My best friend and I had the biggest crush on the blonde Mtv guy....Alan Hunter???? Loved the rotary phone clip....we actually had a party line at one point with the rotary phone!!!! We had a one screen theatre and childrens movies were an after thought....not the franchised cash cow of today. I try and explain to my children how you had to stand in line to buy the ticket and then move to the other side of the building to stand in line to get in. Or that my sister and I were the "remote" for their Grandpa when he wanted to see what else was on the whopping 4 channels we got (one super fuzzy). Anyone else have a Beta player??? Remember all the excitement when VCRs came out??? Children today just don't know how lucky they are..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybear Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 It's easy to forget that, in the first flush of making music videos, while there was a lot of creative experimentation and energy as '80's bands tried to figure out what a video should look like, there were also some disasters. Remember these? Safety Dance Morris dancers! Whee! Whip It I would fall dead with shame if my teenager were ever to learn that I had voluntarily watched this video. Total Eclipse of the Heart If that last one was too much for you, be sure to check out Total Eclipse of the Heart: literal version. Really. (Warning: some content.) And if you're mathy at all, you absolutely must hear this mnemonic for L'Hopital's Rule. Altogether, these are some of the most embarrasing music videos ever created. Ah, the nostalgia. Okay, you finally got me on these. I've been reading this thread but skipping all the links to the music videos. The first two cracked me up. But that last one--are those really the words?????

No amount of hairspray or cool haircuts was going to make my curly hair look like Farrah's. Or any other cool 80's do. Big hair? Sure, I could do it. But huge curly hair wasn't in. Just saying.
