Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
A great countdown. Look forward to listening to this and the 70s on the way to work this week.
80s0n8 Big 40 Countdown Schedule
- Thread starter SIRIUSaboutXM
- Start date
I liked this weeks countdown. Early to mid 80's were good years in music.
pre-1983 = countdown for my mother-in-law
i will say, there were a handful of great ones on here like j. geils, gary numan, pat benatar, billy joel and queen. but most of it was audio melatonin.
KEEP THE FIRE - KENNY LOGGINS
RIDE LIKE THE WIND - CHRISTOPHER CROSS
all i can think when i hear these is those 'yacht rock' episodes martha once talked about. they're great if you like backyard-quality, campy, offensive comedy bits. and fortunately i do!
THINK ABOUT ME - FLEETWOOD MAC
tusk is one disappointing friggin album. aside from this song, tusk and sara, it's a bizarre experimental cluster-f*** of intentionally odd songs. it's 'trying too hard to be kooky'. the only other track i like on it is 'what makes you think you're the one'. and i don't even like it a lot.
THE SECOND TIME AROUND - SHALAMAR
i always thought there were a one-hit wonder with dancing in the sheets, but i've just learned they've had 4 top 40s. i see now it's just because of my age. i was an ankle-biter for their previous hits. sheets was their last big one.
I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY - THE EAGLES
i thought this article was brutal and an inappropriate way to 'give tribute' to the loss of a talented and successful musician. but this song is hard evidence that the writer has a point.
CALL ME - BLONDIE
one of the biggest songs of the 80s... and largely forgotten.
ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL - PINK FLOYD
great to hear while listening to the whole album, but on its own i really don't care for it. in fact, i feel that way about every song on 'the wall' except for 'run like hell'. on their own, these songs are kinda meh. as a complete package, it's an excellent album.

I'm not quite full Lebowski on the Eagles, but I don't hold them as dear to heart as many do. Some very talented musicians, but Clear Channel ruined them for me like they did for most classic rock bands. CC only thinks these bands had 3 songs each, Eagles, Who, Stones, AC/DC, etc..
It is a bit overplayed on 80's on 8. They should drop it from their rotation for awhile.
I've always loved that song. I like the guitar tone.
I don't listen to 80's on 8 a lot, so I'm not burnt out on it.

the big thing about this week's countdown is that there were a ton of songs from artists i know... but had never heard these particular songs!
i know Bangles' Eternal Flame, Egyptian, In Your Room, Hazy Shade... but had never heard Walking Down Your Street.
Kool & The Gang, everyone knows Too Hot, Celebration, Ladies Night.... but Stone Love?
Lionel Richie, a ton of hits I couldn't escape in the 80s if I'd tried... but Se La?
Cyndi Lauper had a LOT of hits I've heard a zillion times, but I had no idea she remade What's Going On AND that it was a big hit. no clue!
Simply Red, Huey Lewis, Tina Turner.....
THIRTEEN songs from artists i know pretty well = THIRTEEN songs i scratched my head and said "I was 16 going on 17 that year, and have never heard these songs."
Weird.

I think I knew half of the ones you didn't know sadchild. I'm guessing I'm 5 or 6 years older than you.

I read that Prince had to make an emergency landing in the Quad Cities recently. Was in the hospital for a week.
And a dick he can be.
(Note that I didn't use the DIK spelling that makes it funny.)
Prince smashed Captain Kirk's 61 Epiphone on the Tonight Show.

Mildred from Remington Steele and now Prince. It's been a rough week for the 80's.
