[Lasz]

WHy dont they make music like this anymore, I miss this electronic progressive sound.

And, of course, some of my favorites - I've played songs from most all of these bands when I was playing the nightclub and bar scene in the 80's.

Devo
Oingo Boingo
The Clash
Gang of Four
B-52s
Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Godley & Creme
Gary Numan

Those are "great 80's bands"?

I'll take Van Halen, Motley Crue, Guns N Roses, Skid Row and all the other "Hairbands" over those anyday...but that's only my opinion...

Good luck in your quest

I'm with you Stond...those are great bands. And who would've thunk that Bon Jovi would *still* be making music, much less good music!

The Crue Rulez!

Sing along

I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you...

I picked you up and turned you around
Turned you into something new

Hi buddy. How are ya? I think I feel like a little "Atomic Punk" on my headphones right about now.

 

[Dillinger]

Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too


Laz -

Don't, don't you want me
You know I can't belive it
When I hear that you won't see
Don't, don't you want me
You know I don't believe you
When you say that you don't need me
It's much too late to find
You think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back
Or we will both be sorry

 

[Ladyhawke]

Oh my...I could have a never ending list of these...but here's a few I like...

Bryan Adams
Bon Jovi
Billy Idol
Weird Al Yankovic

And about a hundred more I'd never admit in public to liking!

I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew I'd find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now I think it's time I lived my life on my own
I guess it's just what I must do

Don't, don't you want me
You know I can't belive it
When I hear that you won't see
Don't, don't you want me
You know I don't believe you
When you say that you don't need me
It's much too late to find
You think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back
Or we will both be sorry

 

[Stiphy]

I still haven't found what Im looking for......

The band of the decade.......U2!

Other bands of note:

Scorpions, New Order, Jesus and Mary Chain, Ramones, Depeche Mode (sort of), Violent Femmes, Mettalica, Anne Murray (JJ )....

Many more but I was drinking way too much Root Beer Schnapps at the time so I cant remeber them.........

I loved the video to this song...


Run Runaway - Slade

I like black and white
Dream in black in white
You like black and white
Run runaway

CHORUS:
See chameleon
Lying there in the sun
All things to everyone
Run runaway

If you're in the swing
Mud in everything
If you're in the swing
Run runaway

CHORUS

If you got it soft
Don't beat around the bush
If you got it soft
Run runaway

CHORUS

Oh now can't she wait?
No no come on and wait
Oh now can't she wait?
Run runaway

CHORUS

I like black and white
Dream in black in white
You like black and white
Run runaway

CHORUS

 

[Guest]

I should stop NOW

 

[Elizabeth]

This vid too..

Take on Me - a-ha

We're talking away
I don't know what
I'm to say I'll say it anyway
Today's another day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love, OK?

CHORUS:
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two

So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But that's me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

CHORUS

Oh the things that you say
Is it live or
Just to play my worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

CHORUS
