Saw a thread like this on TGP, curious what everyone's favorites are.
Mine:
38 Special - Hold On Loosely
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMxqPRdR36I
You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you, realize what you had
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago,
Who told me,
Just Hold On Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling to tightly,
you're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
It's so damn easy, when your feelings are such
To overprotect her, to love her too much
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago
Who told me,
Just Hold On Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling too tight babe,
you're gonna loose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
Don't let her slip away
Sentimental fool
Don't let your heart get in her way
yeah, yeah, yeah,
You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you, realize what you had
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago,
Who told me,
Just Hold On Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling to tightly,
you're gonna lose control
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
So Hold On Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling too tight babe,
you're gonna lose it
You're gonna -- lose control
yeah, yeah, yeah Just Hold On Loosely but don't let go
If you cling too tight babe,
you're gonna loose control
Hold on Loosely, but don't let go
If you cling too tight babe,
you're gonna loose control
yeah, yeah, yeah

Sheila E. - The Glamorous Life
http://noolmusic.com/blogs/YouTube_Music_Videos_80s_90s_Rock_Pop_-_Sheila_E_-_The_Glamorous_Life.shtml
She wears a long fur coat of mink
Even in the summer time
Everybody knows from the coy little wink
The girl's got a lot on her mind
She's got big thoughts, big dreams
And a big brown Mercedes sedan
What I think this girl
She really wants
Is to be in love with a man
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
Without love
It ain't much
She saw him standing in the section marked
If you have to ask you can't afford it lingerie
She threw him bread and said make me scream
In the dark what could he say
Boys with small talk and small minds
Really don't impress me in bed
She said, I need a man's man, baby
Diamonds and furs
Love would only conquer my head
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
Without love
It ain't much
They made haste in the brown sedan
They drove to 55 Secret street
They made love and by the seventh wave
She knew she had a problem
She thought real love is real scary
Money only pays the rent
Love is forever
That's all your life
Love is heaven sent
It's glamorous
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
Without love
It ain't much
It ain't much
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
Without love
It ain't much
It ain't much
Lead the Glamorous Life
She don't need a man's touch
She wants to lead the Glamorous Life
Without love
It ain't much
It ain't muchI'm the Peachmeister!

Men at work - Land down under.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNT7uZf7lew
Travelling in a fried-out combie
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said,
"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscle
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,
"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover." (Yeahhh!)
Dying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and nothin' much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me
Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,
"Oh, you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? (ooohh)
You better run, you better take cover."
We are..
Livin' in a land down under,
Where women glow and men plunder, (yeahhhhhhhhhh)
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? (thunderrrrr!)
You better run, you better take cover.
Livin' in a land down under,
Where women glow and men plunder,
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? (oooo yeahhhh!)
Then I run, and then I take cover. (yea)
We are...
Livin' in a land down under, (underrrr)
Where women glow and men plunder,
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? (oooo da da laa yeahhh!)
Then I run, then I take cover0 -
Crowded House - Don't Dream it's over.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZZfuCJ970w
There is freedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a papercup
There's a battle ahead,
Many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
while you're travelling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't Dream It's Over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know that they won't win
Now I'm towing my car
There's a hole in the roof
My possesions are causing me
suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today
Tales of war and waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Hey now, hey now
Don't Dream It's Over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know that they won't win
Now I'm walking again
To the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps
to the door of your heart
Only the shadows ahead
Barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling
of liberation and relief
Hey now, hey now
Don't Dream It's Over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
We know they won't win
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now
and my other favorite
Crowded House - Weather with you. (one of my fav opening riffs ever.)

I have little 80's love, but stuff from Dire Straits and U2 would top the list.
I'm doing an Eighties night with my band soon, and it's interesting trying to find rock stuff to suit our style.
I've been heavily shedding Streets since I got my new delay pedal and that is starting to come together. Now I've just got to convince our singer she can do it.Music is not a competetion.0 -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dzp0JETG0Pw
Written & composed by michael jackson.
1st verse
She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene
I said dont mind, but what do you mean I am the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
She said I am the one who will dance on the floor in the round
2nd verse
She told me her name was billie jean, as she caused a scene
Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one
Who will dance on the floor in the round
Bridge
People always told me be careful of what you do
And dont go around breaking young girls hearts
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
And be careful of what you do cause the lie becomes the truth
Chorus
Billie jean is not my lover
Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
3rd verse
For forty days and forty nights
The law was on her side
But who can stand when shes in demand
Her schemes and plans
cause we danced on the floor in the round
So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice
(do think twice)
4th verse
She told my baby,we where dancing still 3:00
Then she looked at me, she show me a photo
My baby cried, cause his eyes where like mine
Bridge
People always told me be careful of what you do
And dont go around breaking young girls hearts
She came and stood right by me
Then the smell of sweet perfume
This happened much too soon
She called me to her room
Chorus
Billie jean is not my lover
Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
Billie jean is not my lover
Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
Billie jean is not my lover
Shes just a girl who claims that I am the one
But the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son
She says I am the one, she says he is my son
She says I am the one
Billie jean is not my lover
Billie jean is not my lover
Billie jean is not my lover
Billie jean is not my lover
Billie jean is not my lover
Billie jean is not my lover

Talking of 80's love, one of the best nights out i ever had (and i wasn't expecting it to be, so that made it all the better!), was when i went out with some mates and old people (parents
) for a benefit night for the victims and families of the bali bombings. They had a band there that was playing really old school 80's tunes. Most of them were before my time, but i can remember hearing lots of the tunes as i was growing up over the years. They played stuff from the Church, ACDC, INXS, Men At Work, Crowded House, Hoodoo Gurus. Skyhooks haha and few others! Unreal Night. Such fun. 0 -

Yeah, there is so OK, stuff there, but it was hidden amongst so much dross.
I realyl percieve tha the jaor musical trends occurred more around the middle of the decades, rather than neatly at the biginnign and end.
The archetypal 80's synth/big hair stuff was more mid-80's to mid 90's. Early 80's was quite different, more rock based. I discovered Pearl Jam in 1996, and bands like Soundgarden, Bush etc a mere couple of years earlier. It was like coming up for a breath after being held down for a long time by a really big wave. Yeah, I know I'm slow, tell me about it.
We do Don't Change, Better by Screaming Jets, and a few other overseas 80's songs. WE keep mumbling about adding some Hoodoo Gurus, but it has not happened yet.Music is not a competetion.0 -
I am also a fan of:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMWXyEHoN88
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 you love O.K.
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 O.K.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry.
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two.
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 shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway
Take on me
Take me on
I'll be gone

My favorite song of the 80's:
Fugazi - "Suggestion"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIywtO0OY78
Why can't I walk down a street free of suggestion?
Is my body the only trait in the eyes of men?
I've got some skin
You want to look in
There lays no reward in what you discover
You spent yourself watching me suffer
Suffer you words, suffer your eyes, suffer your hands
Suffer your interpretation of what it is to be a man
I've got some skin
You want to look in
She does nothing to deserve it
He only wants to observe it
We sit back like they taught us
We keep quiet like they taught us
He just wants to prove it
She does nothing to remove it
We don't want anyone to mind us
So we play the roles that they assigned us
She does nothing to conceal it
He touches her 'cause he wants to feel it
We blame her for being there
But we are all

hey, they just had a countdown of the top 100 80's songs on vh1 today! my favorite 80's song's gotta be 'Sweet Child O' Mine' by Guns n Roses
what a riff!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-AYAv0IoWI
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Oh, Oh, Oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Oh, Oh, Oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Sweet love of mine
Oh, Oh, Oh yea
Oh, Oh, Oh
Sweet child o' mine
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Sweet love of mine
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Sweet child o' mine...Oooo yeah heah
Ooooh
Sweet love of mine
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh, Oh
Where do we go?
Oh,
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
oh,(sweet child)
Where do we go now?
Oh,
Where do we go now?
Oh,
Where do we go?
Oh,
Where do we go now?
Oh,
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Oh,
Where do we go now?

So much great stuff in the 80's. It wasn't all about the big hair!
When I think 80's and my favorite, the first thing that comes to mind is the Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime:
How,,,,,, did I GET here?

So you got into them around the no code/yield era? What an awesome time to discover them! I'm 25 and been into Pearl Jam hardcore since i was 12. When i've gone to PJ concerts over the years (first one i was 15) and looked around and seen so many people so much older than me rocking out to them, i think it's just testament to how awesome they are and how cool it is that there is such a range in the age of their fans. Not that i'm calling you old, noooo way, but it's just such a wicked cool feeling. People all ages love this band.lucylespian wrote:Yeah, there is so OK, stuff there, but it was hidden amongst so much dross.

I tried to crypt walk during a show AND use my pedals....but, while I'm good at doing both alone, putting them together was a disaster...have you ever seen a lead guitarist/lead singer dance and then fall...VERY hard? Quite funny.Pj_Gurl wrote:Mayhaps my friend... but i can imagine you dancing around like him trying to use all of your freaking pedals
