If you HAD to hook up ( have sex ) with a has been 80's rocker.......

[Rising Phoenix]

who do you pick and why?

Me.....somebody from Poison, because I remember at age 8 I saw my brother's poison tape and I couldn't tell if they were men or women, they were so beautiful, but I had no idea and was scared to ask, lest I thought the "wrong sex" was beautiful.......

Of course I see this now, at the time....poison was pretty.....

what about you?

[Dr Morbius]

1. Kate Bush! Kate Bush, without hesitation!

Reason:



Hotness.

[Rising Phoenix]

2. sweet....good pick

I love belts and leotards...lol

[Kutjara]

6. Kate is no has-been.

She releases an album about once a decade, but they're worth the wait.

[Call Me Wesley]

8. Exactly!

:thumbsup:

[Call Me Wesley]

7. OP said 'has been.' There goes your little chance, buddy.

She's not a 'has been,' she just whispered in my ear. :P

[Dr Morbius]

11. I don't care. I get a shot at Kate, I'm going for it.

:D

Damn straight!

Actually, I am listening to her Jig of Life right now; love that cut. Love that woman, actually. My wife and I made a deal back when we became engaged; she can nail Tom Cruise if she gets the opportunity, and I can do Kate. She's since changed her mind about Mr. Cruise (Johnny Depp better watch his back) but I never stopped wanting Kate.

Um... is Joan Jett a has-been? :)

Edit: just saw this video of a KB interview from Hounds of Love era, about the Bulgarian trio (Trio Bulgarka). Cool for fans of Kate.

[Call Me Wesley]

12. I still have all her vinyl records from that time.

She used to scratch personal messages in some of them, but I checked and there were none. :(

Kate Bush: Good for a life-time. :rofl:

You'll have to wrestle flvegan for Joan Jett. Good luck!

[WCGreen]

29. I'd run up that hill.....

[dembotoz]

96. good to see other folks with good taste

[SoxFan]

3. Susanna Hoffs

The Rickenbacker only adds to the allure!

[melman]

15. +1

She looks incredible in that picture.

[Cant trust em]

17. Of course of course.

So hot.

[unpossibles]

40. she's had a crush on me for the longest time. nt

[MrCoffee]

56. Yep

She would be the one.

[BarbaRosa]

57. Great, we could double date.

Michael Steele for me.

[gmoney]

100. she's a friend of a friend of a friend...

she's married to Jay Roach, the guy who directed the Austin Powers movies, hence her participation in Austin's band "Ming Tea"

[flvegan]

4. Damn, Joan Jett isn't a has been. Lita Ford then, I guess.

[slay]

90. I don't care - I'd go Joan Jett anyways

:evilgrin: Just saw her the other night on an old ep of Highlander - "Free Fall".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XOZoUJGCKg -- Highlander TV Series Episode 5 'Free Fall' with Joan Jett

[petronius]

5. Depends - do I hook up with their 80s incarnation, or the real person today?

Because if it's the current version, I'm going to rule out the ones who have died...

[Rising Phoenix]

9. when I posted I thought today...

but its much more fun to hook up with them 30 years ago.

[nickinSTL]

20. heh. as long as I could be my current self

with the 30 years ago rocker

(not that I'm interested at all in hooking up with any rocker, but...)

Considering that 30 years ago...I was 7. :rofl:

[Rising Phoenix]

27. no problem

there is no time space continuum in the lounge

[petronius]

31. Yeah, that was my second question - I don't think my 13-year-old self

would have rocked the world for many rockers...

[NewJeffCT]

88. Then I'd definitely have to go for Samantha Fox

if it was Fox from the late 1980s.

[ceile]

10. John Taylor (Duran Duran)

Not sure if he's really a has been though....

[BarenakedLady]

83. Seconded

He was the shit back in the day.



He hasn't aged THAT badly, but...

[Lyric]

13. Jon Bon Jovi

:drool:

[TZ]

54. Totally agree

He's aged REALLY well..In fact I think he's one of those men who grow better looking as they get older...

[Blue_In_AK]

69. My oldest daughter who was a teenager at the time

was INSANE over Jon Bonjovi. She had full-sized posters of him all over her bedroom, on the ceiling, everywhere. Of course, he IS pretty hot. :)

[wickerwoman]

75. My pick as well.

Still gorgeous and he seems like he could carry on a conversation too.

[seabeyond]

14. are there any good looking rockers? i dont remember any. nt

[Rising Phoenix]

18. not really

which is why its a fun question

[MrSlayer]

16. Doro Pesch. Though she isn't a has-been, she is an 80's rocker.

[Rising Phoenix]

19. wow, in the long run

girl 80's rockers are way hotter than the guys....ie sebastion bach, bret michaels ( get better)

yummy on the joan jett, but she is still rocking

[blueamy66]

21. Not that he's a "has been 80s rocker"....

but I'd do Steve Perry in a heartbeat!

[pokerfan]

22. well, she's still performing but...

[baldguy]

23. Pat Benetar

[WCGreen]

33. One of my good friends turned down a chanve to be the

keyboard player in her band...

[jtracy]

97. My favorite Benetar tune ->

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKLyJqP1Stc

[ornotna]

24. Nena

I wouldn't call her a has been though. At 50 she's still smokin' hot!

[Kat45]

25. Man, there were so many I'd have loved to hook up with back then

Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, David Coverdale, Brett Michaels, Stephen Pearcy, Kip Winger....and that's just off the top of my head. In the rock scene back then, so many were drop-dead gorgeous. Even among local bands: when I went to rock shows, I felt like a kid in a candy store looking at all the gorgeous men everywhere. I'm sure the same was true for those looking at the women. Today, I often wonder where all the beauty went. Sure, some of the celebs still look good, but what happened to the local guys? :-)

[atomic-fly]

26. Has been.....not sure..

Kim Wilde maybe

[Amerigo Vespucci]

28. Vicki Blue from The Runaways, or as I call her, "The Future Ms. Vicki Vespucci."

[Tikki]

30. I'd hook up with Mike Watt...

in a Minute Man..
Not a has-been...happily married, I'm sure...I'm happily married,also..prob just sit
there talking his ear off. My secret crush since forever.



http://www.scpr.org/news/2010/04/01/bassist-mike-watts-eye-gifts-pedro/


Tikki

[applegrove]

32. Bono. But I'm not a hook up type person.

[SoxFan]

59. Neither is he, apparently

How many rock stars have been married to the same person for almost 30 years?

[applegrove]

95. Yes I like that about him. I went to a U2 concert with a friend and her husband. After the show was

over my friend wanted to go to his hotel and see him walk in. Her husband went to where we were staying and she and I sat on the sidewalk all night outside his hotel. We never saw him. I was glad to accompany her. She had been a huge fan of his in her early twenties late teens.

[SoxFan]

60. Neither is he, apparently

How many rock stars have been married to the same person for almost 30 years?

[RFKHumphreyObama]

34. Kim Wilde, Jennifer Rush, Deborah Harry, Stevie Nicks

Take your pick -they were hot back then

[jobycom]

35. I feel that questions like this are degrading and objectify people

But Christina Amphlett, no question.

[Rhythm]

72. Dang-it-to-heck, you beat me to her...

Not only hot, but that smoky voice just killed me...

Had probably all of their releases at one time.

[GreenPartyVoter]

36. Kip Winger, Jon Bon Jovi, John Taylor, David Lee Roth... one of those guys, I guess.

[guitar man]

37. Vixen

[Aristus]

38. Taylor Dayne - the 80's version:

I loved her voice...

The TD of today is a plastic surgery nightmare...

[proteus_lives]

39. Joan Jett.

[TommyO]

41. Rob Halford.

[SwampG8r]

42. toni freakin tennile

i would make her howl like she did for pink floyd and elton john

[Decoy of Fenris]

43. Anyone from Manowar.

Judge me how you will, but damn, their music just whips me into a blood-frenzy. I feel that if I didn't hook up with them if given the opportunity, Odin would smite me.

[Tikki]

44. Welcome to DU...

:hi:
Lots of great music references here on DU.

Tikki

[Decoy of Fenris]

46. Thankye!

Thankye kindly. I used to be a part of this forum about a year back, but I forgot both my username and password. So used to lurking that I never signed in. :P Been lurking for... Oh... Well, I don't know, around 2002, so seven years? Only recently jumped aboard ship (former Republican... *ducks for cover*), but I hope to contribute positively to this community.

Looking forward to hopefully a long, prosperous stay here. Thanks again for the welcome!

[Blue_Tires]

45. Deborah Harry, please... second choice is anyone from The Bangles

or Lita Ford...

[HughBeaumont]

47. Debbie Gibson.

Then AND now.

[Deep13]

48. Joan Jett, although I doubt I would be her cup of tea. nt

[dawg]

85. Drummer from the Bangles.

I remember thinking she looked cute and kind of shy. I never go for the type of girls that all the other guys go crazy for.

[Mad_Dem_X]

49. Joe Elliott from Def Leppard. n/t

[PassingFair]

50. He's dead, but ....Robert Palmer.

The "best dressed man in Rock & Roll".

There was a republican at my office who resembled
RP, and it always bothered me that I was attracted
to him....

[Coventina]

51. I always had a "thing" for Suggs from Madness. Also, Tommy Stinson from the Replacements.

Others:

He's passed on, but Michael Hutchence of INXS. *sigh*

Billy Idol

Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode

How many am I allowed? :-)

I've also always had a strange attraction for David J. of Bauhaus/Love and Rockets.

Oh yeah, how could I forget Michael Stipe?

I'd totally do a threesome with the Jesus and Mary Chain brothers.

Yeah, I'm a secret, frustrated 80's rock groupie.

[TreasonousBastard]

52. Not exactly hard rock, but none of the rest of you guys remember Heart?

[MissMillie]

53. I'd go tantric w/ Sting

but Bon Jovi and Bono both appeal to me as well.

[Goblinmonger]

55. Suzi Quatro

Mmmmmmmm, Leather Tuscadero

[MrCoffee]

58. She's certainly not a has-been, but I'm changing my vote to Kim Deal

[Goblinmonger]

67. My #2 behind Leather Tuscadero

That same picture, too. Back in the 90s when I was coaching college debate, we stayed at a hotel in Carbondale and the Pixies were across the hall from us. Pretty frickin' awesome.

[kwolf68]

61. Terri Nunn

No doubt. I always had the hots for her (singer for the new wave band Berlin).

I wouldn't run from Sheena Easton either.

[MiddleFingerMom]

62. Geezo-Beezo, am I ever MOIST!!!!!

[Ikonoklast]

63. Among many of the others mentioned above, Sheila E.

I'd let her abuse me in any way she found fit.

[Sebastian Doyle]

68. OK, but be warned

she's a fundagelical now. So is Vanity, oddly enough. What is it about Prince that sent women running to Jesus? :shrug:

[jobycom]

70. I think Prince was Jesus.

So when they left him, they had a high standard to fill.

[Ikonoklast]

74. I'd hit it so hard she'd start wworshipping me instead.

Oh yes, verily I say unto you.

[AngryAmish]

77. Isn't Prince a Jehovah's Witness?

[Sebastian Doyle]

84. Yeah, he is now

sadly, he's also a Republican :evilfrown:

[NewJeffCT]

89. OMG

Prince is a Jehovah's Witness?

[Sebastian Doyle]

92. Yep. Even goes out door-knocking on occasion.

I usually ignore them when they come to visit, but if it was Prince selling the Watchtower magazines, I might actually open the door and talk to him. Wouldn't convert though.

[NewJeffCT]

93. That is so bizarre

What a 180 from his previous life

[geardaddy]

79. Prince is all fundagelical, too now.

:thumbsdown:

[Throd]

64. Joan Jett

[Rosie1223]

65. Has anyone said Rick Springfield yet?

Hopefully he doesn't have a mullet anymore.

[caitxrawks]

66. blehhhhh : /

Do I have to?



Bret...Michaels.


AUGHHHHH

[carlyhippy]

71. 80's, hmm, well that one is easy

Motley Crue's lead singer Vince Neil

had you said 90's I would have to say bassist Brian Wheat of Tesla...:loveya: :loveya:

[WorseBeforeBetter]

73. Ian "Lips like Sugar" McCulloch.

Although I think Echo & the Bunnymen played Coachella this year, so I'm not sure they're quite has-beens...

[old mark]

76. Cyndi Lauper....but no chance, really.....nt

[Ishoutandscream2]

78. 80's and Rocker don't mix

A terrible decade for music - just heavy metal mush; synthesized, soul-less dribble; and comical rap that thought it was music. Sorry, hate the 80's. Didn't mean to piss on the parade.

[Wapsie B]

81. I'm with ya on that.

Couldn't have said it any better. Hated much of what passed for music in the 80's.

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

80. Billy Squier

I think its the hair

[DevonRex]

82. John Taylor, Bon Jovi, The Edge. Yummy.

:evilgrin:

[NewJeffCT]

86. Samantha Fox

had 15 minutes of fame with "Naughty Girls Need Love, Too" and a few posters that made it up in some college dorm rooms & high school boys' bedrooms. At best, had a poor to mediocre singing voice, but she was cute and had big boobs.

[NewJeffCT]

91. And, my post was useless without a picture

[Blue_Tires]

99. oh yeah, she's my obvious choice...

i was obsessed with her back when i was 11...i just didn't know she qualified as a 'rocker'

[NewJeffCT]

107. pop starlet

Not really a rock star, but she had her moment of popularity.

[mitchum]

87. Dale Bozzio

[Myrina]

104. ... she hasn't aged too well, unfortunately ...

:(

[GaYellowDawg]

94. Christina Amphlett.

From the Divinyls. You know. The one who sang, "when I think about you, I touch myself."



Don't know that I'd call her a has-been. But WOW, smokin' hot.

[jobycom]

101. That was my pick up at 35, where you can see that she's still pretty smokin' hot.

In case you're interested. :o

[krispos42]

102. Bingo

That music video was able to focus my attention.

[Dulcinea]

98. Michael Hutchence.

Lead singer of INXS who killed himself. He was HOT!

[Myrina]

103. Alex Van Halen or Billy Squier

... perhaps one of the Taylor brothers from DuranDuran/Power Station

[Bennyboy]

105. I am ashamed to tell anyone, but it's MARIE OSMOND.....

Then and now. (Well maybe up to about 6 months ago anyway)......

[lukasahero]

106. Michael Stipe and Sting

Neither are really has-beens or "rockers" per se but I've been crushing on both of them forever!

[kwassa]

108. Annie Lennox, sweet dreams are made of this ....
