ahh, the 80's

ow, my poor hungover head! In no particular order, my top 10....
( that I can remember )

Head Pins- Breakin' Down ( oh yeah! Too-loud McCloud !!! RIP )
Wang Chung- Dance Hall Days
Brian Adams- Cuts Like a Knife
Pat Benatar- Love is a Battlefield ( little lady, huge vocals )
Eddy Grant- Killer on the Rampage
Doug and the Slugs- Too Bad
Billy Idol- White Wedding
Judas Priest- You Got Another Thing Comin'
Flock of Seagulls- I Ran
The Boss- Dancing in the Dark

could have remembered more if I had stayed a little more sober, but what's the point! Anybody still alive that used to frequent Whispers on Lonsdale? Saw Brian Adams play there in early 80's,
( he did a couple of tunes when " Bowser Moon" was playing.....)
oh Christ, am I really that old? Where's the Geritol!

Have to admit this is kinda funny. Oh, the days of real video games.

 

[trece verde]

Hilarious!!!!

Keeper:

Break out the Intellivision - I want to play Burgertime too!

Some thoughts from a REALLY old fart (again in no particular order):

1) the Clash - Should I Stay or Should I Go?
2) the Smiths - How Soon Is Now?
3) anything by the Stranglers (but especially Skin Deep)
4) Dire Straits - Money for Nothing
5) the Police - Demolition Man
6) U2 - Gloria
7) David Bowie - Day In, Day Out
8) the Jam - That's Entertainment
9) Ultravox - Reap the Wild Wind
10) Saga - On the Loose

Really had to think about this - too much stuff sitting in the stacks at home. Back with another list soon.....

Piece,

2) Run to the Hills
3) Love Bites (Judas Priest)
4) Rock you like a Hurricane

16) Don't mean nothing but a good time, how can I refuse
17) REMIX - ACDC/Quiet Riot/Bon Jovi/ Metallica - not 80's , but 80's songs involved


Especially song 14 when you are driving.......hand in the hair, ready to go,......"So count it out 1-2-3......daytime, nighttime, anytime, things go better with rock...."
