I remember it was 1986, I'm 9 years old, I had a fever and stayed home in bed, I had the radio on and sort of drifting in and out of sleep. West End Girls by the Pet Shop Boys was the first song, it sounded so weird and spooky, then that I Wanna be A Cowboy and You Can Be My Cowgirl song was next just as weird and spooky, then Peter Gabriels SledgeHammer came on....I was freaking out the music was so trippy all these dreams and hallucinations from the fever were really getting on top of me, then they played Flock of Seagulls -Then I ra-aa-a-an, ran so far away-ay-ay...and I remember jumping out of bed and running half stumbling down the hall, I'm home all alone I jump on the couch and turn on the tv and Flock of Seagulls is on MTV same song....I just laid there and fell into a trance. That was my first introduction into altered states of mind....

Flock of Seagulls is coming to Hawaii on Sept. 22 I think I'll buy tickets for my GF and me
 
I remember when MTV fired up and they only had a couple of videos that they played over and over and over...
 
I remember at one time you could turn to MTV and say "Dire Straits and it would be playing or "Thriller" and it would be playing.....I also remember they played Music Videos almost all the time, no Real WOrld or any of the other crap.....I love VH1 Classics....
 
Can anyone list some "inspirational", and/or some good tempo/pump you up songs that were played in the 80's? I was born in '86 so i never heard any of these songs.
 
I remember the 80's. Sorta. Some of it. I got married and and had a kid in there some where ... :thinking: ... but I was in my 20's so I'm not responsible for my actions back then.

Here's a lil Billy Vera: At This Moment.

Aw man....I love that song.....it's sad but a good sad song. :(

I had a hard time finding it, I didn't know the title nor the artist. Thanks!

Welcome :nerd:. That song makes me all :cry: but :) at the same time. I think it's that sax in there behind the lyrics that just kicks my ass every time.
 
I thought the music was better, at least more fun.

Rap just makes want to get into caddy and cap a bitch.

The music was a lot more fun. Back then, the music studios hadn't gotten into the safe, formulamatic, mode that they're in now. They were willing to publish music of just about every type.

Much more of an assortment. Just look at the year 1980, it was all good but different.
 
The Rise....

Jo Jo by Boz Scaggs was a song I liked but not well known by many....

It would be hard for me too tell you what you would like, but I am pretty sure you may have heard a few.
Your parents must have played them around you.
 
I was born in 1980 and I like the later 80s songs. THe early ones suck. Everytime I have 80s on 8 dialed in, I almost immediatley change it.

I can listen to 40s-70s with good enthusiasm, but early 80s? :barf:

Akira you were prolly procreated while one of those songs was playing in the background.

How old is your dad now?
 
It would be hard for me too tell you what you would like, but I am pretty sure you may have heard a few.
Your parents must have played them around you.

The only thing my Dad listens to is the Beatles and my mom never listens to any music other than crappy "irish" songs on St. Patty's Day.
 
I remember being 3 or 4 and hearing a lot of these songs on the radio while my mom cleaned house or during one of the many parties my parents would have.....alot of my love for Stevie Nicks' voice comes from back then, her voice was like hearing a lullaby for me since my mom always played Fleetwood Mac and her solo stuff around my nap time while she cleaned house....
