I like Kevin Bacon. I watched him in Tremors and his latest tv show The Bondsman which I thought it was a good series. That show reminded me Ash vs. Evil Dead meets R.I.P.D. film.

I'm not a fan of the film Footloose, it just has a great sountrack.

Honestly I'm not a big fan of the film either. Big fan of Kevin Bacon, and I like the soundtrack, but nothing else really does it for me. I also was more of a Molly Ringwald fan back in those days. :D

Baker's Dozen.

Always the early 80's and Late 80's countdowns that get the least amount of votes from me. Early 80's coming out of Disco (and I can even apprecitate some of that) to the late 80's going into the hair band era (I can appreciate a small number of that too) before Nirvana came in and cleaned the pool.

38 DE MIKE & THE MECHANICS - THE LIVING YEARS - Good, but hard to listen to, hits home after the last few years.
33 DE GUNS N' ROSES - PATIENCE - Their worst, still pretty good.
31 34 HOWARD JONES - EVERLASTING LOVE
29 33 WINGER - SEVENTEEN (26) - Sister went to high school with Kip Winger.
27 35 BETTE MIDLER - WIND BENEATH MY WINGS - Another 'hard to listen to'
26 24 ENYA - ORINOCO FLOW (SAIL AWAY) - Still have this album around here somewhere
21 26 LIVING COLOUR - CULT OF PERSONALITY
19 09 ROY ORBISON - YOU GOT IT
12 16 ANIMOTION - ROOM TO MOVE
09 04 THE BANGLES - ETERNAL FLAME
06 06 R.E.M. - STAND
03 02 ROXETTE - THE LOOK - They had lots of hits I really liked
02 01 FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS - SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY - 'Good Thing' is better


08 05 MILLI VANILLI - GIRL YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE - GIRL YOU KNOW IT, GIRL YOU KNOW IT, GIRL YOU KNOW IT, GIRL YOU KNOW IT!!!
