I know that this may scare a few. But I really used to like dead or alive.

This is apparently Pete Burns today.

2 of the greatest pieces of music to ever come out of the 80's was Nena - 99 red balloons - and Paul Hardcastle's - 19....

great tunes to sing along too...

EDIT - the sexiest words EVER spoken are the words "Jet-fighters..." in the 99 red balloons song... she actually pronounces it with a "...urs" at the end of the word 'fighters'....

makes my nuts tingle.... :-[ :-[

make-and-do

Speaking of funny 80's pants...
Boom Boom Room - a guilty 80's pop pleasure, the kind that I suspect would make most guitarplayers here cringe:
Love this song. Unfortunately the Parlotones ruined it for me by covering it.

Note the Guitboard/Keytar solo followed by a (typical) sax solo.
No solo for the nice guitar in background ?

Have a listen to Kate Bush - The Dreaming from the Album of the same name circa 1982.
There is even a bigger word than "Tingle" ?

Altered Images - Happy Birthday - Lead Singer Claire Grogan was pretty cute

Kissing the Pink - another good band I can remember

I'm just really glad for his / her sake that he / she does not need the eye patch any more.. the surgery was obviously a success.

I can't believe you guys >☹

AC/DC, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden, Jane's Addiction, Metallica, The Cult, Dire Straits, Motley Crue, Motorhead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Rolling Stones, U2 etc all put out some fantastic albums during the 80's...

Every generation has it's horrid music. The 80's had Boy George and disco, 90's had techno, the 00's had Britney Spears and the '10's has Lady Gaga.... ?
