What are your favorites from that decade?

[Texasgal]

1. Michael Hutchence makes me MELT!

They were so good back then. I miss him. :cry:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear Texasgal...

Yeah, they were outstanding! So much energy!

I'm sorry, sweetie...:hug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

4. Me too!

:cry:


He was last true rock star IMHO.

[AlCzervik]

3. i think half the music i own is from the 80's, anyhow for dancing but really skating

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Dancing music really gets me going!

10. I love INXS! My other faves include some of these:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oudKFDpUlQ
David Bowie - Fashion
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n35C0j3LLB0
The Sundays - Here's Where the Story Ends (ok, this is late 70s I think, but it's still cool!)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MXKZUX8XgY
Crowded House - Into Temptation

[AlCzervik]

11. That song from The Sundays was from their 1990 album Reading, Writing and Arithmetic

i think i'm the only person that actually bought it.

[grannylib]

15. *lol* No, I bought it too...used...I love her voice! I'm SO glad for

YouTube which lets me listen to a whole lot of music I'd otherwise have lost, most of it having been on tape, which no longer works *lol*

[InternalDialogue]

23. I bought it as well, plus their next album.

That's great turn-off-the-lights music. Sounds great coming from another room.

[GOPisEvil]

31. I bought The Sundays as well.

I also saw them live. Harriet Wheeler's voice is just as amazing in person. :)

[WCGreen]

37. I bought it too...

And saw them in concert...

[NewJeffCT]

12. To close the 80s - Head Like a Hole by Nine Inch Nails

didn't become popular for a few years, though...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear NewJeffCT!

Wow, what a visual song! Crazy graphics!

Thanks...

:hi:

[NewJeffCT]

49. I like your choice as well - a few more from me

though, I might go with "Need You Tonight" as my favorite INXS song.

need to get the links:
"The Killing Moon" by Echo & the Bunnymen
"Sheila Take a Bow" and "How Soon is Now" by The Smiths
"Nemesis" by Shriekback
"Why Can't I Be You?" by The Cure

[BurtWorm]

13. I particularly liked this INXS tune

Need You Tonight

[BurtWorm]

14. These guys looked avant garde ca. 1982

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTPpGz8SXd0

Um... not anymore. But it's a wicked cool song.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. I LOVE this one...

Otherwise, we're keeping the house closed and the a/c is cycling to keep things cool...

It is very slowly getting better...

Thanks for asking, sweetie!

Self-delete.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. My dear Orrex...

Oh, sweetie...

I wish I'd seen what you posted...

There's room here for all sorts of songs, you know...:hug:

[Orrex]

33. Well, it was a tasteless joke about Mr. Hutchence's demise

Along the lines of noting that Ernest Hemingway had a tendency to shoot his mouth off.


That kind of thing...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Thanks for telling me...

It's OK, really...

[Orrex]

35. You're very kind!

:hug:

[WCGreen]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. My dear BrklynLiberal!

I'm using my laptop instead of my desktop right now, so I can't listen to those songs...

The laptop's sound is so damn tinny that I turned it off...

I remember these, and I love them too!

Thanks...

I wish I could have seen them back when Michael was still alive. But, it was still a great concert and we had the best time.
