crazycoffeechic Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I can't believe I forgot Aerosmith! I know! I was just listening to them this past weekend! As I was reading this post I was wondering who no one would mention the ultimate best of all time - Duran Duran. So, thanks Crazy Coffee Chic. Almost every one you mentioned is a fave of mine. Recently Duran Duran did a concert that was shown on VH1 and I loved it! I guess you never really grow up ... Thanks for starting this post - it's bringing back some great memories. Aw man, I missed that!:glare: I know, when I catch a video or a song, it makes me feel like I'm a teenager all over again! I just get all excited and ds looks at me like I'm going crazy!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicksMama-Zack's Mama Too Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Bet no one knows this one--it's really a Kate Bush song from 1978, but Pat Benatar covered it in 1980, so it counts! Listen Out on the wily, windy moors We'd roll and fall in green You had a temper, like my jealousy Too hot, too greedy How could you leave me When I needed to possess you? I hated you, I loved you too Bad dreams in the night They told me I was going to lose the fight Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering Wuthering Heights Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home I'm so cold, let me in in your window Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home I'm so cold, let me in in your window Oh it gets dark, it gets lonely On the other side from you I pine a lot, I find a lot Falls through without you I'm coming back love, cruel Heathcliff My one dream, my only master Too long I've roamed the night I'm coming back to his side to put it right I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering Wuthering Heights Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home I'm so cold, let me in your window Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home I'm so cold, let me in in a your window Ooh let me have it, let me grab your soul away Ooh let me have it, let me grab your soul away You know it's me, Cathy I also love the Africa song by Toto. (here) Love Pat Benatar! Hell is for Children is so haunting. She rocks. I'd pay to see her live today! K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheilaZ Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I have lots of favorites but the one I could listen to every day and not get bored is Billy Idol's "Catch my Fall." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I think my favorite would be U2, Pride. I also like Echo and the Bunnymen, Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark (because who doesn't love a band with that name,) Depeche Mode (A Question of Lust, A Question of Time, Personal Jesus, which might be 90's,) Peter Gabriel, A-ha, Violent Femmes, well I'll stop now. I could go on for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laylamcb Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel A great 80s celluloid moment: "I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed.

We have one of those *ion turntables to convert the LPs into MP3s, but It's slow going. We have done a few, and need to do more!

Between the ages of 16 and 23 I never missed a concert if they came near Milwaukee WI. LOL I also saw Def leopard, motley crue, poison, warrant, and many others. My all time favorite songs from the 80's though would have to be and Friday I'm in love by The Cure I also loved a little known Milwaukee band called The Gufs.
