    Diamond Dave is the epitome of cheese.
    What can be said about Mick and Bowie during those years? So much white powdery substance.

    What is even funnier about this one, is that I found a (shitty) live video from House of Blues in Boston from just last year of them performing this song. :shock:

    Folks, please stick to the topic. Just because it was released in the 80s does not automatically qualify it as "cheesy."

    Little Red Corvette?

    Are you fucking kidding me? That's a full-on classic.

    I've always thought that was Pat Benetar.
    They were billed as Scandal Featuring Patty Smyth. Were they hoping people would confuse her with Patti Smith?

    My cousin had a t-shirt she bought at a show where I want to say they opened for Pat Benatar. Was a mock newspaper headline -- SCANDAL ROCKS AMERICA.

    And they did have one other song that was fairly popular (but I dunno if it was a legitimate "hit"): Goodbye to You.

    I think, though I may be mistaken, that the general consensus is that if it happened in the 80's (and the 80's includes 1979 & 1990) then by default, it is cheesy.

    yes/no?

    I hardly think everything recorded during the 80's should be classified as cheesy.


    These are therefore cheesy?:

    Okay, let's lay down some ground rules:

    1979/1990 - CAN qualify as 80s music

    Not ALL music released between 1979-1990 is considered cheesy.

    However, most Pop music released during these years DOES qualify as cheesy.

    Of course Metallica, U2 and Bruce don't qualify as cheesy Poncier.

    But JTH brings up an excellent point, cheesy is mainly subjective and has much gray area.
