Been chatting with CarolAnne tonight, given the tragic news about Michael Jackson, about msic from our youth, as we’re both about the same age. this has lead to me diving deep into Youtube tonight so I can have a listen at some of the songs that seemed to be a big part of my childhood, or atleast the ones that left the biggest impression for some reason or another. It all stemed from her watching Jonathon Ross on the BBC and his guests being Blue, and she said she remembered them and used to like them. Then we got chatting bout older music like London Boys and Dire Straits inparticular. I remember growing up in Rainworth when I was about 10 or 11 and me and a mate of mine would listen to Dire Straits doen at his house for ages. The two that stick in my head most are the following two:
Money for Nothing
I think it’s the electric guitar part from the beginning that sets the song up for me.
Then you’ve got great songs from Berlinda Carlisle like Circles in the Sand, Heaven is a place on earth, Bananarama with Cruel Summer. The list seems to go on and on at the minute.
The Bangles
There is so many I’m finding it hard to find my top 5 songs from that era of my life. Specially with so many other songs like Madness – Our House, so many Michael Jackson songs, Madonna the list seems endless. I’m gonna sit down and try and write a top 5 (or maybe 10) list of songs from the 80′s (my childhood) and post it on here in the coming days or weeks!
haha some classic songs
ur right tho the list is endless xxx
nice choices. i loved manic monday,it was a huge hit when i was in 4th grade. my uncles were into dire straits and duran duran.
Well, I must admit… the only song I know here is Manic Monday and lol this vid was shown when I was barely six!
Btw, about that Moulin Rouge dance… lets see in a few weeks hon! *wink
The 80s will forever be one of the greatest decades for music but I guess I’m only saying that because I grew up at that time
. I can’t get enough of 80s songs.
during my time the popular were the songs of NSync’ …just kidding
CarolAnne – You know this already
Femmepower – Dire Straits were pure awesome. Wasn’t too big on Duran Duran myself
Daisy – Just glad you’re ok!
Grace – I do love music from the 80′s being born right at the start of the decade, but for some reason if we’re in an 80′s themed bar I hate it
Eric – I’m thankful that I was just old enough not to have gotten caught up on the N’Sync bandwagon
I’m thinking you and I might be of the same era, Wiggy. I’m a bit older than you, but we are kindred spirits indeed.
What a good era to come from tho Grandy
