Thanks, Vicki. I think one the things that makes a good singer is picking songs that are suitable for their voice. You do that very well, that's why I enjoy listening to you so much.

I have been accused several times of being stuck in the 70's and 80's....*SIGH* GUILTY as charged!~!

(Sorry, Vicki.... )

Bill your taste in music honey in no way detracts from the awesome friend you are...keep doing what you are doing and I will keep listening, simply becos its you and you do them so well.

One thing about 80's music thats been missed so far is the diffrent genres that were created--most of what has been mentioned so far is pretty much top-40 pop.

But dont forget what really made the 80's was NEW WAVE, PUNK, EARLY RAP/HIP-HOP and GLAM ROCK(hair bands)
.
Those are what REALLY set the 80's apart from other musical era's.

Not to mention 80's Country and the resurgence of Rockabilly and Swing.

punk and glam rock had their beginnings in late 70s I guess that is what heralded the changes that made me hybernate all decade. I didnt discover REM till mid 90s yet love their early stuff

I most loved New Wave---yes the synthes and all that---but it was the dance grooves that they came up with that caught my ear. And loved the EARLY MTV VIDEOS...............expecially the corny ones that really had nothing to do with anything the song was about................Flock of Seagulls "You Cant Run" video comes to mine. But you had to have LOVED DEVO's WHIP IT. And AHA's TAKE ON ME was classic annimation combined with an actual video. Many other favorites too.
